Introduction

Strengthen the security of your Odoo API with the User-Based Authentication module. This essential tool provides a straightforward and secure method for authenticating API requests using user credentials. By requiring a username and password to be sent in the HTTP request header, this module ensures that only legitimate and authorized users can access your Odoo data through the API. It is a fundamental component for any business looking to build secure, reliable, and scalable integrations with third-party applications.

Key Features

  • User Credential Authentication: Authenticates API requests using the client's username and password.

  • Secure Access Control: Grants access to API resources only after successful verification of user credentials.

  • HTTP Header-Based: Works by sending the username and password directly in the HTTP request headers for a standardized approach.

  • Unauthorized Access Prevention: Protects your Odoo instance from unauthorized access by rejecting requests without valid credentials.

  • Easy Integration: Simple to implement and use with any third-party application or service that needs to connect to your Odoo API.

  • Core API Framework Component: Serves as a foundational element for building a secure and robust API framework.

Benefits

  • Enhanced Security: Protect your valuable business data with a proven and secure authentication method.

  • Controlled Access: Ensure that only authorized users and systems can interact with your Odoo API.

  • Simplified Integration: A straightforward authentication process makes it easier for developers to build secure integrations.

  • Improved Compliance: Meet security and compliance requirements by implementing a robust user authentication system.

  • Reliable and Scalable: A reliable and scalable solution for managing API access as your business and integration needs grow.

User Based Authentication

Introduction

" User Credentials Authentication " is a method in that the client provides its username and password to the API server as proof of identity. The server then verifies these credentials against its records to authenticate the client. If the provided credentials match those stored in the server's database, the client is granted access to the API's resources or services.

How It Works

The user authentication works by sending a username and password in the HTTP request header. The server challenges the client with a 401 Unauthorized response, indicating that authentication is required. The client then includes the username and password in the Authorization header of subsequent requests.

Headers

Key Value
username your-username
password your-password

Example

Here's an example using cURL:

curl -X GET -H "username: your-username" -H "password: your-password" https://api.example.com/resource

Here's an example using Python:

import requests

api_url = 'https://api.example.com/resource'

# Make an authenticated GET request
headers = {
'username': 'your-username',
'password': 'your-password',
}

response = requests.get(api_url, headers=headers)
