}Expand description
Trait for an authentication strategy.
A strategy is responsible for extracting credentials from a request and validating them to produce an identity.
Required Methods§
Sourcefn authenticate<'life0, 'life1, 'async_trait>(
&'life0 self,
parts: &'life1 Parts,
) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Result<Option<I>, AuthError>> + Send + 'async_trait>>where
Self: 'async_trait,
'life0: 'async_trait,
'life1: 'async_trait,
fn authenticate<'life0, 'life1, 'async_trait>(
&'life0 self,
parts: &'life1 Parts,
) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Result<Option<I>, AuthError>> + Send + 'async_trait>>where
Self: 'async_trait,
'life0: 'async_trait,
'life1: 'async_trait,
Attempt to authenticate the request.
Returns:
Ok(Some(identity))if authentication was successful.Ok(None)if the strategy did not find relevant credentials (e.g., missing header).Err(AuthError)if authentication failed (e.g., invalid token, DB error).
