Yii ApiAuth Extension
=====================

[](#yii-apiauth-extension)

ApiAuth : The first A in AAA

Authenticate a (REST) client through Http Authentication Methods like Http Digest or Http Basic (or implement your own authentication scheme)

Most webservers, like Apache or IIS support different types of HTTP authentication, but they can be difficult (if not impossible) to integrate with a custom user account source, especially one that is implemented in Yii. This extension uses only Yii, PHP and MySQL and should be easy to integrate in an existing Yii based Authorization scenario.

Even though this extension can be used for virtually any authentication scenario, it is mostly suitable for automation, for example in REST requests. Hence it's name apiAuth.

Yii comes with an extensive built in authorization scheme and many great extensions like Rights, Auth or yii-user that you can use alongside this extension. @see
