authorization

So I just learned Python/Django last weekend. What I'm trying to do is have url routes available with different content depending on who's logged in. So my usecase is I create 5 usernames/passwords and then those 5 users can login to read specific content/routes catered to them that no other user should be able to see. Right now I have these routes with correlating views. urlpatterns = [ url(r'^$', accounts.views.loginview), url(r'^accounts/', include('accounts.urls')), url(r'^sitepages/', include('sitepages.urls')), ] I get the auth thing, I'm filtering content to only logged in users using

This is a question more for opinions rather than for a solution to a specific problem. I am working with CakePHP for the first time and am working on the admin part of the site now. Where do you, as an MVC or CakePHP developer like to put your admin functions? Initially I was putting them in an AdminController, but have since changed to putting the functions in a controller that is meant for the type of data being manipulated. For example, I put the user listings/editing in the UserController. To me this makes more sense since there is likely to be functionality in the UserController that may

I have two service providers that I am connecting to Okta in order to manage identities externally. Can you think of a way to configure Okta to accomplish the following: Associate attributes with groups, rather than directly to users. Users within groups would then inherit these attributes. Associate groups with applications, rather than directly associating users with applications. My end goal is to be able to leverage Okta for managing a role store for each service provider. I would expect SAML assertions coming from Okta to be able to be mapped into assertions for individual service

I'm trying to mix some MVC3 functionality into an existing WebForms application. I've followed a few guides, and got everything set up and working except for the authorization piece. The existing application has <deny users="*" /> sitting at the root web.config, and each subfolder has its own web.config that allows access to the pages within for specific roles. My new understanding is that this style of can't/shouldn't be used on Controllers, and I should be using Authorize attributes instead. I've decorated my test " HomeController " class with [Authorize(Roles="AdminRole")] , but I get an

I have a login and a user info page which is displayed after login. How can I block user info page from direct access by user? How can I implement that with session? BalusC At login time, put the found User object in the session. String username = request.getParameter("username"); String password = request.getParameter("password"); User user = userDAO.find(username, password); if (user != null) { request.getSession().setAttribute("user", user); response.sendRedirect("secured/userpage"); } else { request.setAttribute("error", "Unknown username/password combo, please try again"); request

I am trying to regain access to my databases stored in CouchDB, but the error This database failed to load. gets shown instead of the databases (see attachments). I started seeing all of these errors at once It be some user rights misconfiguration (1. The error This database failed to load. is normal, when lacking privileges, 2. The actions to delete or replicate a DB are missing). However, I am logged as admin. Can you help me find the root cause of the error? Simple PUT and DELETE requests curl -X PUT http://admin:somepassword@127.0.0.1:5984/testdb : [error] 2018-02-09T15:06:05.221393Z

I've been encountering a weird problem when receiving the Facebook oauth response string using System.Windows.Controls.Webbrowser for authentication. Following request URI is sent: https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=[APPID]&redirect_uri=https://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html&scope=publish_stream,read_friendlists,email&response_type=token but what I receive is only https://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html , i.e. no access_token. Strangely, copy&paste the request URI into a browser (e.g. IE8) properly returns the auth-uri https://www.facebook.com/connect
