Securing Your Flask App
One of the most commonly added features on a web app is some form of aunthentication: whether that's a simple password-based login screen or a more sophisticated role-based access control system.
In Chapter 6 of Mastering Flask Web Development, Daniel Gaspar and Jack Stouffer take you through a comprehensive look at authentication and access control in Flask.
The chapter contains:
- A brief overview of various authentication methods: basic authentication, remote user, LDAP, database authentication, and OpenID and Oauth
- How to leverage Flask login (database/cookie authentication)
- How to implement role-based access control (RBAC) to distinguish functionality and implement granular access to normal blog users
By the end of the chapter you'll know how to implement secure logins, understand multiple login and registration options, and build applications with explicit access permissions.
