Module new_home_proxy::auth

This module contains all the code that is required to authorize user requests on the client side

Here we're taking care of user authentication. Users will be stored in an extra yaml file.

The users file

The users file will contain an array of users which are (by now) only a name and a password. This password is a bcrypt hashed string so if the password file goes public still no one can simply read the password. However this also means that if you lose your password you cannot just read it from somewhere but you will have to set a new password

- username: Admin
  password: admin
  hashing_method: HashMethod

- username: Second user
  password: unknown
  hashing_method: HashMethod
