How do I define basic authentication using Swagger 2.0 annotations and have it display in swagger UI.
In the resource I have:
@ApiOperation(value = "Return list of categories", response=Category.class, responseContainer="List", httpMethod="GET", authorizations = {@Authorization(value="basicAuth")})
public Response getCategories();
I looked here:
https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-core/wiki/Annotations#authorization-authorizationscope
And it says "Once you've declared and configured which authorization schemes you support in your API, you can use these annotation to note which authorization scheme is required on a resource or a specific operation" But I can't find anything that talks about where to declare and configure the authorization schemes.
Update:
I found code on how to declare the schema, but I still do not see any information about the authentication schema in the UI. I'm not sure what I am missing
@SwaggerDefinition
public class MyApiDefinition implements ReaderListener {
public static final String BASIC_AUTH_SCHEME = "basicAuth";
@Override
public void beforeScan(Reader reader, Swagger swagger) {
}
@Override
public void afterScan(Reader reader, Swagger swagger) {
BasicAuthDefinition basicAuthDefinition = new BasicAuthDefinition();
swagger.addSecurityDefinition(BASIC_AUTH_SCHEME, basicAuthDefinition);
}
}
Using Springfox 2.6 annotations, you must first define Basic authentication as one of the security schemes when you set up the Docket in your configuration, like this:
List<SecurityScheme> schemeList = new ArrayList<>();
schemeList.add(new BasicAuth("basicAuth"));
return new
Docket(DocumentationType.SWAGGER_2).apiInfo(apiInfo)
.securitySchemes(schemeList)
...
Then you can use the Springfox annotations in your service to set Basic Auth for the operation for which you want to require authentication:
@ApiOperation(value = "Return list of categories", response=Category.class, responseContainer="List", httpMethod="GET", authorizations = {@Authorization(value="basicAuth")})
public Response getCategories();
I struggeled with this as well. In my case i used the swagger-maven-plugin. To solve this i added this within the maven plugin:
<securityDefinitions>
<securityDefinition>
<name>basicAuth</name>
<type>basic</type>
</securityDefinition>
</securityDefinitions>
After that i was able to add it on my resource like this:
@Api(value = "My REST Interface", authorizations = {@Authorization(value="basicAuth")})
The generated json included the security element for each endpoint:
"security":[{
"basicAuth" : []
}]
And the security definition:
"securityDefinitions" : {
"basicAuth" : {
"type" : "basic"
}
}
I hope this helps others as well.
You can use the @SwaggerDefinition

or you can configure the swagger object directly, here's an example
