r-shinydbauth

Simple Authentification for 'shiny' Applications.

Simple authentification mechanism for single 'shiny' applications.

Provides a simple authentification and password change functionality are performed calling user provided functions that typically access some database backend.
Source code of main applications is protected until authentication is successful.

ATENTION: This project uses borrowed and modified (stripped and incomplete) code from ShinyManager which provides a more secure, extended, generic and completed authentication solution, please use it instead for stable applications.

Installation

Install from CRAN with :

install.packages("shinydbauth")

Or install development version from GitHub :

remotes::install_github("diegoefe/shinydbauth")

Usage

To run the sample application:

1. Open a terminal (bash) and cd into demo.
2. Choose database backend to use:
   1. For SQLite:
      1. cd to "db" and run mk_db.sh and go back:

         $ cd db
         $ ./mk_db.sh
         $ cd ..
         

      2. look for users and passwords in sqlite.sql
   2. For PostgreSQL:
      1. Create a database and two functions:
         • fetch_user()
         • update_user() Use the signatures for db_pg.R's queries
      2. Copy sample-auth.R to auth.R and set it up with correct values:

         $ cp sample-auth.R auth.R
         $ vim auth.R
         

3. Open app.R and follow SETUP instructions
4. Run the demo:

   ./launch_in_browser.sh

Failure limit

Using options("shinydbauth.pwd_failure_limit"), you can set password failure limit. It defaults to Inf. You can specify for example options("shinydbauth.pwd_failure_limit" = 5) if you want to lock user account after 5 wrong password.
