Support servers with plain http authentication #34

Hey, jwilder/nginx-proxy to get plain HTTP auth. And I need the app to support that.

This is also listed as a limitation in the README

spaibs commented 4 years ago

Yes, that's something we want to do, but the unsupported authentication in the README was related to PhotoPrism's own internal password protection.

In order to implement plain http auth in the mobile app, following steps need to be done:

[ ] Move all remaining http calls to api.dart
[ ] Write api wrapper which supports basic http auth: https://pub.dev/packages/http_auth
[x] Add GUI in order to activate basic auth and insert username and password
[x] Save user credentials in secure place, e.g. https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_secure_storage
[ ] Search for uploader package which supports authentication

I implemented https auth in a simpler way. I used jwilder/nginx-proxy. explained here. Also gives me https.

spaibs commented 4 years ago

You implemented authentication on the server, right? I have described the necessary steps that we have to program in the mobile app to implement basic auth.

guysoft commented 4 years ago

@spaibs Ah ok, didn't understand that

thielepaul commented 4 years ago

I agree that the app should support this and will have a look at it later today
