70. Security
71. • Uses database functions to access password hashes • Two database accounts are used
72. • Uses database functions to access password hashes (optional) • Two database accounts are used (optional)
73. Flexibility
74. Can be used with the any rack framework
75. require "roda" class RodauthApp < Roda # If using Rodauth in a non-Roda application # plugin :middleware plugin :rodauth do enable :login, :logout, :change_password end route do |r| r.rodauth rodauth.require_authentication # If using Rodauth in a Roda application # Your app code here end end # If using Rodauth in a non-Roda application # use RodauthApp # If using Rodauth in a Roda application run RodauthApp
76. require "roda" class RodauthApp < Roda # If using Rodauth in a non-Roda application # plugin :middleware plugin :rodauth do enable :login, :logout, :change_password end route do |r| r.rodauth rodauth.require_authentication # If using Rodauth in a Roda application # Your app code here end end # If using Rodauth in a non-Roda application # use RodauthApp # If using Rodauth in a Roda application run RodauthApp
77. Rodauth uses a simple configuration DSL
78. require 'simple_ldap_authenticator' plugin :rodauth do enable :login, :logout # Don't require the bcrypt library, since using LDAP for auth require_bcrypt? false # Treat the login itself as the account account_from_login{|l| l.to_s} # Use the login provided as the session value account_session_value{account} # Store session value in :login key, since the :account_id # default wouldn't make sense session_key :login password_match? do |password| SimpleLdapAuthenticator.valid?(account, password) end end
79. Simplicity
80. Rodauth allows for overriding any part of the framework
81. module Auth class Rodauth < Roda plugin :rodauth do enable :login end route do |r| r.post 'login' do # Custom POST /login handling here end r.rodauth end end end
82. How to start use Rodauth?
83. • Resolve database dependencies • Define Rodauth features
84. Database dependencies
85. • Setup database • Create tables
86. Setup With Postgresql # Load extentions psql -U postgres -c "CREATE EXTENSION citext" ${DATABASE_NAME} # Create database accounts createuser -U postgres ${DATABASE_NAME} createuser -U postgres ${DATABASE_NAME}_password
87. Setup With Postgresql create_table(:accounts) do primary_key :id, :type=>:Bignum foreign_key :status_id, :account_statuses, :null=>false, :default=>1 if db.database_type == :postgres citext :email, :null=>false constraint :valid_email, :email=>/^[^,;@ \r\n]+@[^,@; \r\n]+\.[^,@; \r\n]+$/ index :email, :unique=>true, :where=>{:status_id=>[1, 2]} else String :email, :null=>false index :email, :unique=>true end end case database_type when :postgres user = get{Sequel.lit('current_user')} + '_password' run "GRANT REFERENCES ON accounts TO #{user}" end
88. Define Rodauth Features plugin :rodauth, :json=>true, :csrf=>false, :flash=>false do enable :change_password, :close_account, :create_account, :login, :logout, :remember, :reset_password, :verify_account, :otp, :recovery_codes, :sms_codes, :password_complexity, :disallow_password_reuse, :password_grace_period, :account_expiration, :single_session, :jwt, :session_expiration, max_invalid_logins 2 allow_password_change_after 60 verify_account_grace_period 300 jwt_secret secret sms_send do |phone_number, message| MUTEX.synchronize{SMS[session_value] = "..."} end end
89. Summary
90. Rodauth Advantages • Integration with any rack application • Minimun dependencies • Features • Security • Simplicity
91. Rodauth Disadvantages • Doesn’t work with OAuth • Routes design: can mismatch with your design
92. My own experience
93. Registration module Auth class Rodauth < Roda DB = Sequel.connect(ENV['DATABASE_URL']) plugin :middleware plugin :rodauth, json: :only do enable :login, :logout, :jwt, :create_account jwt_session_hash do super().merge(exp: SmartTaskApi::Utils.jwt_expiration) end jwt_secret ENV['JWT_SECRET'] end route do |r| r.rodauth env['rodauth'] = rodauth end end end
94. Token Authentication module Api class Rodauth < Roda DB = Sequel.connect(ENV['DATABASE_URL']) plugin :middleware plugin :rodauth, json: :only do enable :jwt jwt_secret ENV['JWT_SECRET'] end route do |r| r.rodauth rodauth.require_authentication env['rodauth'] = rodauth end end end
