# django-auth-wall

[![Latest PyPI version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/django-auth-wall.svg)](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-auth-wall)

A very basic Basic Auth middleware that uses a username/password defined

in your environment variable or settings.py to protect whole of your

site. Does not use Django auth.

Handy for quickly securing an entire site during development, for

example.

**Note**: Environment variables is preferred over `settings.py`.

# Usage

```

# In settings.py:

MIDDLEWARE = [

    'django_auth_wall.middleware.BasicAuthMiddleware',

    # all other middleware here

]

# Optionally, set it here if not setting as environment variable

# Requires both variable to be set, else site won't be protected.

AUTH_WALL_USERNAME = 'user'

AUTH_WALL_PASSWORD = 'pass'

```

# Installation

```shell

pip install django-auth-wall

```

**Warning**

Please make sure that you use SSL/TLS (HTTPS) to encrypt the connection

between the client and the server, when using basic access

authentication. In basic access authentication username and password are

sent in cleartext, and if SSL/TLS is not used, the credentials could be

easily intercepted.
