JWT Auth Builder (Work in Progress)

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This is a work in progress - it is NOT A SUPPORTED PRODUCT. You are free to try and experiment and provide feedback.

The jwt-auth-builder library is an opinionated wrapper on the NATS JWT library. It provides an API for building entities (JWTs) that is self-documenting. The configurations (JWTs) and secrets (nkeys) are persisted using an AuthProvider.

The AuthProvider is an interface for loading and storing configurations.

The NscAuth provider, is a provided implementation that uses a nsc data directory to load/store entities. Note that the NscAuth provider is not thread-safe, so it should only be used from a single thread and pointed to directories that the library manages.

Usage

Here's an example usage, more examples as this gets further along. For additional insight check the godoc and look at the tests.

auth, err := NewAuth(NewNscProvider(storeDirPath, keysDirPath))
// create an operator
o, _ := auth.Operators().Add("O")
// create an account for system purposes
sys, _ := o.AddAccount("SYS")
o.SetSystemAccount(sys)
sys.Users().Add("sys")
// generate the creds for the sys user, save the data to a file
// this is only valid for a day
data, _ := sys.Creds(time.Hour * 24)
// create an account for users
a, _ := o.Accounts().Add("A")
// add a user
u, _ := a.Users().Add("U")
// generate the creds for the user, save the data to a file
u.PubPermissions().Allow("q", "foo", "bar")
u.SubPermissions().Allow("_inbox.foo.>")
u.RespPermissions().SetMaxMessages(1)
// store the changes in the store dir/key dir
auth.Commit()
