Golang Authentication Service

Introduction

This is a complete authentication solution that you can clone and use directly with your web services. It uses MongoDB as a database but the database package can easily be switched out without affecting the rest of the code to make use of any other database of your choice.

Running Locally

Note:- Make sure GO111MODULE is enabled

• Get all dependencies :- go get ./...
• Edit .env file to setup crucial env variables for the service to run. The required ones are MONGO_URI, DB_NAME, URL, Scheme, Hostname, ClientScheme, ClientHostname, ClientURL, STAGE
• Create a new collection in mongodb database called keys. Add a document with a field called key with value being whatever you'd like to use as API key for the API.
• Create a new collection in mongodb database called Secrets. Add 2 documents here as follows:

    {
        "type": "JWTPublicKey",
        "value": "<RSA512-JWT-Public-Key>"
    }

    {
        "type": "JWTPrivateKey",
        "value": "<RSA512-JWT-Private-Key>"
    }

• Once that is done, simply run go build and then ./authentication
