Procedural Configuration

To add an authentication service via the PHP:

1. In the PHP Explorer, locate your server project, expand the public folder, and select the 'index.php 'file.
   The 'index.php' file is displayed, showing how the Zend Server Gateway is initialized.

<?php
set_include_path ( get_include_path () . PATH_SEPARATOR . '../lib' . PATH_SEPARATOR . '../services' );
require_once 'ZendGateway/Main.php';
$gateway->configure ( dirname ( __DIR__ ) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'gateway.xml' );
$gateway->send ();

2. Add Authentication parameters: 

• The HTTPBasic authentication name.
• A regular expression pattern. In this example we will include a '/' to require all requests be authenticated.
• User data provider.
• Database specific options and properties.
  Example:

$gateway->authenticate(array(
	'My Secured API'=> array(
		'pattern'=>'/',
		'provider'=>array(
			'type'=>'db',
			'options'=>array(
				'driver'=>'Mysqli''
				'hostname'=>'127.1.1.1',
				'database'=>'daniel'
				'username'=>'admin',
				'password'=>'1234',
				'tableName'=>'users',
				'identityColumn'=>'username',
				'credentialsColumn'=>'password',
				'roleColumn'=>'role',
				'options'=>array(
					'buffer_results'=>true
					)
			)			
		)
	)
));

3. Save the file.
   The new configurations are saved and applied to the Zend Server Gateway.

Test the route from the Test Service view: Select the 'Authentication required' check-box and add authentication headers.
