eodag.plugins.authentication.header.HTTPHeaderAuth

class eodag.plugins.authentication.header.HTTPHeaderAuth(provider: str, config: PluginConfig)

HTTPHeaderAuth Authentication plugin.

This plugin enables implementation of custom HTTP authentication scheme (other than Basic, Digest, Token negotiation et al.) using HTTP headers.

The plugin is configured as follows in the providers config file:

provider:
    ...
    auth:
        plugin: HTTPHeaderAuth
        headers:
            Authorization: "Something {userinput}"
            X-Special-Header: "Fixed value"
            X-Another-Special-Header: "{oh-my-another-user-input}"
        ...
    ...

As you can see in the sample above, the maintainer of provider define the headers that will be used in the authentication process as-is, by giving their names (e.g. Authorization) and their value (e.g “Something {userinput}”) as regular Python string templates that enable passing in the user input necessary to compute its identity. The user input awaited in the header value string must be present in the user config file. In the sample above, the plugin await for user credentials to be specified as:

provider:
    credentials:
        userinput: XXX
        oh-my-another-user-input: YYY

Expect an undefined behaviour if you use empty braces in header value strings.
