attempting to migrate to Ktor 2: any idea what happened to Authentication.ChallengePhase?

[Peter]

i see:

internal object ChallengeHook : Hook<suspend (ApplicationCall) -> Unit> {
    internal val ChallengePhase: PipelinePhase = PipelinePhase("Challenge")

but it's internal 😞

[Ron S]

yeah I also had the same issue when implementing role system, haven't solved it so far 😞

[Peter]

PipelinePhase isn't a data class either... so assuming just redeclaring an instance won't compare equally the internal one?

[Ron S]

PipelinePhase("Challenge")

creating my own instance of it might actually work, but I have no idea how to test it. the interceptor triggers and there is no excption being thrown

[Ron S]

it would also be sufficient when the interceptor fires after the authentication in general, doesnt have to be the Challenge phase, does it?

@Peter Can you share your use case, please?

[Rustam Siniukov]

@Ron S
for role based auth you can use AuthenticationChecked hook

[Ron S]

Thanks @Rustam Siniukov
I think I got it to work. Here's my snippet @Peter

fun Route.authorization(build: Route.() -> Unit): Route {
    val route = createChild(CustomSelector())
    val plugin = createRouteScopedPlugin("CustomAuthorization") {
        on(AuthenticationChecked) { call ->
            val principal = call.authentication.principal
            // custom logic
        }
    }
    route.install(plugin)
    route.build()
    return route
}

[Peter]

my use case is also a RBAC feature/plugin... thanks for the example @Ron S - i'll take a look soon, traveling today
