Experience with authentication mechanisms?

[fkromer]

@anderssv Thanks a lot for your great blog post and this example repo. Have you made good/bad experience related to the integration with authentication mechanisms? I know it's beyond the this repo scope... just out of curiosity.

Hi @fkromer . KTor has a good set of auth implementations you can use that work well. I think maybe the detail you are looking for is how to make it work seamlessly with HTMX?

The easiest solution is cookies, and make them httpOnly. That way it get's included automatically in every request. 😄 There are some details here: https://htmx.org/essays/web-security-basics-with-htmx/

I don't remember the exact details of setting ut up, but Claude should be able to help. 😄
