Custom Backened

[markbiria]

Hi

Can i add my own custom backend for example a database of username and password, to be authenticated against?

There are some options:

1. Htpasswd (with a file possibly exported from DB)
2. Httpupstream
3. Writing your own backend

Thanks,

I've just realized that there is a backend interface that i can implement for my own backend.

type Backend interface {
	// Authenticate checks the username/password against the backend.
	// On success it returns true and a UserInfo object which has at least the username set.
	// If the credentials do not match, false is returned.
	// The error parameter is nil, unless a communication error with the backend occurred.
	Authenticate(username, password string) (bool, model.UserInfo, error)
}

@markbiria don't forget to make a PR after you've done 😛

@smancke I suggest closing this issue as it seems resolved.
