Documentation

Overview

`grpc_auth` a generic server-side auth middleware for gRPC.

Server Side Auth Middleware

It allows for easy assertion of `:authorization` headers in gRPC calls, be it HTTP Basic auth, or OAuth2 Bearer tokens.

The middleware takes a user-customizable `AuthFunc`, which can be customized to verify and extract auth information from the request. The extracted information can be put in the `context.Context` of handlers downstream for retrieval.

It also allows for per-service implementation overrides of `AuthFunc`. See `ServiceAuthFuncOverride`.

Please see examples for simple examples of use.

Functions

func AuthFromMD

func AuthFromMD(ctx context.Context, expectedScheme string) (string, error)

AuthFromMD is a helper function for extracting the :authorization header from the gRPC metadata of the request.

It expects the `:authorization` header to be of a certain scheme (e.g. `basic`, `bearer`), in a case-insensitive format (see rfc2617, sec 1.2). If no such authorization is found, or the token is of wrong scheme, an error with gRPC status `Unauthenticated` is returned.

func StreamServerInterceptor

func StreamServerInterceptor(authFunc AuthFunc) grpc.StreamServerInterceptor

StreamServerInterceptor returns a new unary server interceptors that performs per-request auth.

func UnaryServerInterceptor

func UnaryServerInterceptor(authFunc AuthFunc) grpc.UnaryServerInterceptor

UnaryServerInterceptor returns a new unary server interceptors that performs per-request auth.

Types

type AuthFunc

type AuthFunc func(ctx context.Context) (context.Context, error)

AuthFunc is the pluggable function that performs authentication.

The passed in `Context` will contain the gRPC metadata.MD object (for header-based authentication) and the peer.Peer information that can contain transport-based credentials (e.g. `credentials.AuthInfo`).

The returned context will be propagated to handlers, allowing user changes to `Context`. However, please make sure that the `Context` returned is a child `Context` of the one passed in.

If error is returned, its `grpc.Code()` will be returned to the user as well as the verbatim message. Please make sure you use `codes.Unauthenticated` (lacking auth) and `codes.PermissionDenied` (authed, but lacking perms) appropriately.

type ServiceAuthFuncOverride

type ServiceAuthFuncOverride interface {
	AuthFuncOverride(ctx context.Context, fullMethodName string) (context.Context, error)
}

ServiceAuthFuncOverride allows a given gRPC service implementation to override the global `AuthFunc`.

If a service implements the AuthFuncOverride method, it takes precedence over the `AuthFunc` method, and will be called instead of AuthFunc for all method invocations within that service.
