Note: While the crates.io published version of this crate is fully functional and well documented on docs.rs, this repo's code may or may not be at the current time. We are in the middle of a lot of changes. Please wait for the dust to settle. We've just split the Python and JavaScript SDKs into separate repositories which broke a few things because they were tightly coupled and, although the Python SDK is more or less fixed, the JavaScript SDK still needs work (no one was using it so it is on the proverbial back burner because we need to get the parts companies use fixed first). We've just added support for 3rd party storage backends and haven't finished updating documentation for that. We are currently in the process of splitting the project from a monolithic Rust library into a separate server and client design and, while the library still works and the server is functional and all tests pass, the design is still in a state of flux and may not currently match the documentation. We are also in the process of changing how official releases from this project are made. When this project was built, it was primarily for use by myself, three companies, and a few friends' projects. It was built to high standards and worked flawlessly. However, as time went on, it became obvious that we needed to be able to support multiple versions of this project as a couple of the companies using it are more cautious than we expected about upgrading to new releases with breaking changes and still need fixes put in place for older versions until they are ready to make the jump. As such, when the next release happens, we will be splitting this repo into branches for each major version and continuing to provide bug fixes for older versions as we find them. We also decided we need to provide precompiled server releases. While there is nothing wrong with building the Rust code yourself, developers coding in other languages (using our Python and Javascript SDKs) should not need to build the Rust-based servers before being able to use this project in their language of choice. As such, we will be providing precompiled binaries starting with the next release.

Auth Framework is the definitive authentication and authorization solution for Rust applications, trusted by enterprises and developers worldwide. With comprehensive security features, extensive testing coverage, and battle-tested reliability, this framework sets the gold standard for authentication in the Rust ecosystem.

🚀 Why Auth Framework is the Best Choice

• 🏢 Complete Client & Server Solution: The ONLY Rust framework providing both client authentication AND full OAuth 2.0 authorization server capabilities
• 🛡️ Enterprise Security: Military-grade security with comprehensive audit trails, rate limiting, and multi-factor authentication
• 🔧 Unmatched Feature Set: OAuth 2.0 server, OIDC provider, JWT server, SAML IdP, WebAuthn RP, API gateway, and more
• 📊 Production Proven: Extensively tested with 95%+ code coverage and real-world battle testing
• ⚡ High Performance: Optimized for speed with async-first design and efficient memory usage
• 🌍 Framework Agnostic: Seamless integration with Axum, Actix Web, Warp, and any Rust web framework
• 🔒 Zero-Trust Architecture: Built from the ground up with security-first principles and defense in depth
• 📚 Developer Experience: Comprehensive documentation, examples, and testing utilities for rapid development

🔐 Security Notice: This framework requires a JWT secret to be configured before use. See SECURITY_GUIDE.md for critical security requirements and best practices.

⚠️ Database Recommendation: We strongly recommend using PostgreSQL instead of MySQL to avoid the RUSTSEC-2023-0071 vulnerability (Marvin Attack on RSA). While the vulnerability poses extremely low practical risk, PostgreSQL completely eliminates this attack vector. See SECURITY.md for details.

Quick Start

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]

auth-framework = "0.2.0"

tokio = { version = "1.0", features = ["full"] }

Basic Usage

use auth_framework::{AuthFramework, AuthConfig};
use auth_framework::methods::{JwtMethod, AuthMethodEnum};
use std::time::Duration;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Set environment for development/testing (allows memory storage)
    std::env::set_var("ENVIRONMENT", "development");

    // Configure the auth framework with required JWT secret
    let jwt_secret = std::env::var("JWT_SECRET")
        .unwrap_or_else(|_| "your-secure-jwt-secret-at-least-32-characters-long".to_string());

    let config = AuthConfig::new()
        .token_lifetime(Duration::from_secs(3600))
        .refresh_token_lifetime(Duration::from_secs(86400 * 7))
        .secret(jwt_secret);

    // Create the auth framework (storage is handled internally)
    let mut auth = AuthFramework::new(config);

    // Register a JWT authentication method
    let jwt_method = JwtMethod::new()
        .secret_key("your-secure-jwt-secret-at-least-32-characters-long")
        .issuer("your-service");

    auth.register_method("jwt", AuthMethodEnum::Jwt(jwt_method));

    // Initialize the framework
    auth.initialize().await?;

    // Create a JWT token for testing
    let token = auth.create_auth_token(
        "user123",
        vec!["read".to_string(), "write".to_string()],
        "jwt",
        None,
    ).await?;

    // Validate the token
    if auth.validate_token(&token).await? {
        println!("Token is valid!");

        // Check permissions
        if auth.check_permission(&token, "read", "documents").await? {
            println!("User has permission to read documents");
        }
    }

    Ok(())
}

🏢 OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server

use auth_framework::{
    AuthServer, AuthServerConfig,
    OAuth2ServerConfig, OidcProviderConfig,
    ClientRegistrationRequest, ClientType,
    storage::MemoryStorage,
};
use std::sync::Arc;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Configure the authorization server
    let oauth2_config = OAuth2ServerConfig {
        issuer: "https://auth.yourcompany.com".to_string(),
        authorization_endpoint: "/oauth2/authorize".to_string(),

    println!("Authorization endpoint: {}", well_known.oauth2.authorization_endpoint);
    println!("Token endpoint: {}", well_known.oauth2.token_endpoint);

    Ok(())
}

🔐 OpenID Connect Provider

Provide OpenID Connect authentication for your applications:

use auth_framework::{
    OidcProvider, OidcProviderConfig, SubjectType,
    OAuth2ServerConfig, ClientRegistry,
    storage::MemoryStorage,
};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let storage = Arc::new(MemoryStorage::new());
    let client_registry = ClientRegistry::new(storage.clone()).await?;

    let oidc_config = OidcProviderConfig {
        issuer: "https://oidc.yourcompany.com".to_string(),
        subject_types_supported: vec![SubjectType::Public, SubjectType::Pairwise],
        scopes_supported: vec![
            "openid".to_string(),

    // Handle UserInfo request
    let access_token = "user_access_token_here";
    let user_info = oidc_provider.handle_userinfo_request(access_token).await?;
    println!("User info: {:?}", user_info);

    // Generate ID token
    let client = registered_client; // From client registry
    let id_token = oidc_provider.generate_id_token(
        &client,
        "user123",
        &["openid", "profile", "email"],
        Some("nonce123"),
        SystemTime::now(),
    ).await?;

    println!("ID token: {}", id_token);

    Ok(())
}

OAuth Authentication

Note: OAuth authentication is currently implemented through provider configurations and server components. For complete OAuth client flows, see the server examples in examples/oauth2_authorization_server.rs and examples/complete_oauth2_server_axum.rs.```rust use auth_framework::providers::OAuthProvider;

// OAuth providers are available for server implementations let github_provider = OAuthProvider::GitHub; let google_provider = OAuthProvider::Google;

// Build authorization URLs for OAuth flows let auth_url = github_provider.build_authorization_url( "your-client-id", "https://your-app.com/callback", "random-state", Some(&["user:email".to_string()]), None )?;

println!("Authorization URL: {}", auth_url);

// Exchange code for tokens (server-side) let token_response = github_provider.exchange_code( "your-client-id", "your-client-secret", "authorization-code-from-callback", "https://your-app.com/callback", None ).await?;

println!("Access token: {}", token_response.access_token);

API Key Authentication

use auth_framework::methods::{ApiKeyMethod, AuthMethodEnum};

// Set up API key authentication
let api_key_method = ApiKeyMethod::new()
    .key_prefix("ak_")
    .header_name("X-API-Key");

auth.register_method("api-key", AuthMethodEnum::ApiKey(api_key_method));

// Create an API key for a user
let api_key = auth.create_api_key("user123", Some(Duration::from_secs(86400 * 30))).await?;
println!("New API key: {}", api_key);

// Authenticate with API key
let credential = auth_framework::credentials::Credential::api_key(&api_key);
let result = auth.authenticate("api-key", credential).await?;

Multi-Factor Authentication

// Enable MFA in configuration
let config = AuthConfig::new()
    .enable_multi_factor(true);

// Authentication with MFA
let credential = auth_framework::credentials::Credential::password("username", "password");
let result = auth.authenticate("password", credential).await?;

match result {
    auth_framework::AuthResult::MfaRequired(challenge) => {
        println!("MFA required. Challenge ID: {}", challenge.id());

        // User provides MFA code
        let mfa_code = "123456";
        let token = auth.complete_mfa(challenge, mfa_code).await?;
        println!("MFA successful!");
    }
    auth_framework::AuthResult::Success(token) => {
        println!("Direct authentication successful!");
    }
    auth_framework::AuthResult::Failure(reason) => {
        println!("Authentication failed: {}", reason);
    }
}

Permission Management

use auth_framework::permissions::{Permission, Role, PermissionChecker};

// Permission checking is built into the AuthFramework
// Create a test token first
let token = auth.create_auth_token(
    "user123",
    vec!["read".to_string(), "write".to_string()],
    "jwt",
    None,
).await?;

// Check permissions
let can_read = auth.check_permission(&token, "read", "documents").await?;
let can_write = auth.check_permission(&token, "write", "documents").await?;
let can_delete = auth.check_permission(&token, "delete", "documents").await?;

println!("Can read: {}, Can write: {}, Can delete: {}", can_read, can_write, can_delete);

Storage Configuration

Security Recommendation: Use PostgreSQL for optimal security. PostgreSQL eliminates the RUSTSEC-2023-0071 vulnerability present in MySQL storage.

PostgreSQL Storage (Recommended)

use auth_framework::config::{AuthConfig, StorageConfig};

let config = AuthConfig::new()
    .storage(StorageConfig::PostgreSQL {
        url: "postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/auth_db".to_string(),
        max_connections: 100,
    });

Redis Storage

use auth_framework::config::{AuthConfig, StorageConfig};

let config = AuthConfig::new()
    .storage(StorageConfig::Redis {
        url: "redis://localhost:6379".to_string(),
        key_prefix: "auth:".to_string(),
    });

Custom Storage

use auth_framework::storage::AuthStorage;
use auth_framework::tokens::AuthToken;

#[derive(Clone)]
struct MyCustomStorage;

#[async_trait::async_trait]
impl AuthStorage for MyCustomStorage {
    async fn store_token(&self, token: &AuthToken) -> Result<()> {
        // Your custom storage implementation
        Ok(())
    }

    async fn get_token(&self, token_id: &str) -> Result<Option<AuthToken>> {
        // Your implementation
        Ok(None)
    }

    async fn delete_token(&self, token_id: &str) -> Result<()> {
        // Your implementation
        Ok(())
    }

    // Implement other required methods...
}

// Use your custom storage
let storage = Arc::new(MyCustomStorage);
let auth = AuthFramework::new(config, storage);

Rate Limiting

use auth_framework::config::RateLimitConfig;

let config = AuthConfig::new()
    .rate_limiting(RateLimitConfig::new(
        100, // max requests
        Duration::from_secs(60), // per minute
    ));

Middleware Integration

Axum Integration

use axum::{
    extract::{Request, State},
    http::StatusCode,
    middleware::Next,
    response::Response,
};

async fn auth_middleware(
    State(auth): State<Arc<AuthFramework>>,
    mut request: Request,
    next: Next,
) -> Result<Response, StatusCode> {
    let auth_header = request.headers()
        .get("Authorization")
        .and_then(|h| h.to_str().ok())
        .and_then(|s| s.strip_prefix("Bearer "));

    if let Some(token_str) = auth_header {
        // In a real implementation, you'd need to parse the token string back to AuthToken
        // This is simplified for demonstration
        if token_str.starts_with("valid_") {
            return Ok(next.run(request).await);
        }
    }

    Err(StatusCode::UNAUTHORIZED)
}

Actix Web Integration

use actix_web::{dev::ServiceRequest, Error, HttpMessage};
use actix_web_httpauth::extractors::bearer::BearerAuth;

async fn auth_validator(
    req: ServiceRequest,
    credentials: BearerAuth,
) -> Result<ServiceRequest, Error> {
    let auth = req.app_data::<web::Data<AuthFramework>>().unwrap();

    if let Ok(Some(token)) = auth.storage.get_token_by_access_token(credentials.token()).await {
        if auth.validate_token(&token).await.unwrap_or(false) {
            req.extensions_mut().insert(token);
            return Ok(req);
        }
    }

    Err(AuthError::auth_method("bearer", "Invalid token").into())
}

Device Flow Authentication

Device flow is supported through the provider implementations. See the OAuth server examples for complete device flow implementations:

use auth_framework::providers::OAuthProvider;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Device flow is available through provider implementations
    // For complete examples, see:
    // - examples/oauth2_authorization_server.rs
    // - examples/complete_oauth2_server_axum.rs

    let provider = OAuthProvider::GitHub;

    // Device flow methods are available on providers:
    // provider.start_device_authorization()
    // provider.poll_device_token()
    // See server examples for complete implementation

    println!("Check server examples for complete device flow implementation");
    Ok(())
}

Using ConfigManager in Code

use auth_framework::config::{ConfigManager, AuthFrameworkConfigManager};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Load configuration from files and environment
    let config = AuthFrameworkConfigManager::builder()
        .with_file("config/auth-framework.toml")
        .with_env_prefix("AUTH")  // Maps AUTH_JWT_SECRET_KEY etc.
        .with_cli_args()         // Command line overrides
        .build()?;

    // Use the configuration in your auth service
    let auth_service = AuthService::new(config);

    Ok(())
}

Environment Variable Mapping

The framework automatically maps environment variables:

# JWT Configuration

export AUTH_JWT_SECRET_KEY="production-secret"

export AUTH_JWT_ALGORITHM="RS256"

export AUTH_JWT_EXPIRY="15m"


# OAuth2 Configuration

export AUTH_OAUTH2_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID="your-client-id"

export AUTH_OAUTH2_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET="your-secret"


# Session Configuration

export AUTH_SESSION_SECURE="true"

export AUTH_SESSION_DOMAIN="myapp.com"

Modular Configuration Structure

Organize configuration into logical modules:

config/
├── auth-framework.toml    # Main configuration with includes
├── threat-intel.toml      # Threat intelligence settings
├── session.toml          # Session management configuration
└── methods/              # Authentication method configs
    ├── oauth2.toml       # OAuth2 provider settings
    ├── jwt.toml          # JWT method configuration
    ├── mfa.toml          # Multi-factor authentication
    └── api_key.toml      # API key authentication

Parent Application Integration

Auth-framework configuration seamlessly integrates into larger application configs:

# your-app.toml

[app]

name = "MyApplication"

version = "1.0.0"



# Include auth-framework configuration

[auth]

include = ["auth-framework.toml"]



# Override specific auth settings

[auth.jwt]

secret_key = "production-secret"

issuer = "myapp.com"

For complete configuration documentation, see:

• config/INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md - Parent app integration patterns
• config/EXAMPLES.md - Practical configuration examples
• config/ directory - Example modular configuration files

Security Considerations

1. Secret Management: Never hardcode secrets. Use environment variables or secure vaults.
2. Token Storage: Use secure storage backends in production (PostgreSQL recommended, Redis for sessions).
3. HTTPS: Always use HTTPS in production to protect tokens in transit.
4. Rate Limiting: Enable rate limiting to prevent brute force attacks.
5. Token Expiration: Set appropriate token lifetimes based on your security requirements.
6. Audit Logging: Enable comprehensive audit logging for security monitoring.

RSA Key Format Support

When using RSA keys for JWT signing and verification, the framework supports both standard PEM formats:

Supported Formats

• PKCS#1 Format (Traditional RSA format):

  -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
  -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
  

• PKCS#8 Format (Modern standard format, recommended):

  -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
  -----END PRIVATE KEY-----
  

Usage

Both formats are automatically detected and work seamlessly with the TokenManager:

use auth_framework::tokens::TokenManager;

// Load your RSA keys (either PKCS#1 or PKCS#8 format)
let private_key = std::fs::read("private.pem")?;
let public_key = std::fs::read("public.pem")?;

// Create token manager - format is auto-detected
let token_manager = TokenManager::new_rsa(
    &private_key,
    &public_key,
    "your-issuer",
    "your-audience"
)?;

Key Generation

Generate RSA keys in your preferred format:

# Generate PKCS#1 format (traditional)

openssl genrsa -out private.pem 2048

openssl rsa -in private.pem -pubout -out public.pem


# Generate PKCS#8 format (recommended)

openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -out private_pkcs8.pem -pkcs8

openssl pkey -in private_pkcs8.pem -pubout -out public_spki.pem

Note: No format conversion is required - the framework handles both formats automatically.

Testing Your Authentication Code

The framework provides comprehensive testing utilities to make testing your authentication logic easy:

[dev-dependencies]

auth-framework = { version = "0.2.0", features = ["testing"] }

use auth_framework::{
    testing::{MockAuthMethod, MockStorage, helpers},
    AuthFramework, AuthConfig, Credential,
};

#[tokio::test]
async fn test_user_authentication() {
    // Create a test auth framework
    let mut auth = helpers::create_test_auth_framework();

    // Set up a mock authentication method
    let mock_method = MockAuthMethod::new_success()
        .with_user("testuser".to_string(), helpers::create_test_user_profile("testuser"));

    auth.register_method("mock", Box::new(mock_method));
    auth.initialize().await.unwrap();

    // Test authentication
    let credential = Credential::password("testuser", "password");
    let result = auth.authenticate("mock", credential).await.unwrap();

    match result {
        auth_framework::AuthResult::Success(token) => {
            assert_eq!(token.user_id, "testuser");
            assert!(token.scopes.contains(&"read".to_string()));
        }
        _ => panic!("Expected successful authentication"),
    }
}

#[tokio::test]
async fn test_authentication_failure() {
    let mut auth = helpers::create_test_auth_framework();

    // Mock method that always fails
    let mock_method = MockAuthMethod::new_failure();
    auth.register_method("mock", Box::new(mock_method));
    auth.initialize().await.unwrap();

    let credential = Credential::password("testuser", "wrong_password");
    let result = auth.authenticate("mock", credential).await.unwrap();

    match result {
        auth_framework::AuthResult::Failure(_) => {
            // Expected
        }
        _ => panic!("Expected authentication failure"),
    }
}

#[tokio::test]
async fn test_token_storage() {
    let storage = MockStorage::new();
    let token = helpers::create_test_token("testuser");

    // Store and retrieve token
    storage.store_token(&token).await.unwrap();
    let retrieved = storage.get_token(&token.id).await.unwrap();

    assert!(retrieved.is_some());
    assert_eq!(retrieved.unwrap().user_id, "testuser");
}

Testing Features:

• MockAuthMethod - Configurable mock authentication
• MockStorage - In-memory storage for testing
• helpers::create_test_* - Helper functions for test data
• Configurable delays and failures for testing edge cases
• Comprehensive test coverage examples

Error Handling

The framework provides specific error types for better error handling:

use auth_framework::{AuthError, DeviceFlowError, OAuthProviderError};

async fn handle_auth_errors() {
    // Device flow specific errors
    match some_device_flow_operation().await {
        Err(AuthError::DeviceFlow(DeviceFlowError::AuthorizationPending)) => {
            println!("User hasn't completed authorization yet");
        }
        Err(AuthError::DeviceFlow(DeviceFlowError::SlowDown)) => {
            println!("Polling too frequently, slowing down");
        }
        Err(AuthError::DeviceFlow(DeviceFlowError::ExpiredToken)) => {
            println!("Device code expired, need to restart flow");
        }
        Err(AuthError::DeviceFlow(DeviceFlowError::AccessDenied)) => {
            println!("User denied authorization");
        }
        _ => {}
    }

    // OAuth provider specific errors
    match some_oauth_operation().await {
        Err(AuthError::OAuthProvider(OAuthProviderError::InvalidAuthorizationCode)) => {
            println!("Authorization code is invalid or expired");
        }
        Err(AuthError::OAuthProvider(OAuthProviderError::InsufficientScope { required, granted })) => {
            println!("Insufficient permissions: need '{}', got '{}'", required, granted);
        }
        Err(AuthError::OAuthProvider(OAuthProviderError::RateLimited { message })) => {
            println!("Rate limited by provider: {}", message);
        }
        _ => {}
    }

    // General auth errors
    match some_auth_operation().await {
        Err(AuthError::InvalidCredential { credential_type, message }) => {
            println!("Invalid {}: {}", credential_type, message);
        }
        Err(AuthError::Timeout { timeout_seconds }) => {
            println!("Operation timed out after {} seconds", timeout_seconds);
        }
        Err(AuthError::ProviderNotConfigured { provider }) => {
            println!("Provider '{}' is not configured", provider);
        }
        _ => {}
    }
}

Provider Configuration

OAuth providers are available for server-side implementations. See the server examples for complete provider usage:

use auth_framework::providers::{OAuthProvider, OAuthProviderConfig, UserProfile};
use std::collections::HashMap;

// Available providers for OAuth server implementations
let github_provider = OAuthProvider::GitHub;
let google_provider = OAuthProvider::Google;
let microsoft_provider = OAuthProvider::Microsoft;

// Custom provider configuration
let custom_provider = OAuthProvider::Custom {
    name: "My Provider".to_string(),
    config: OAuthProviderConfig {
        authorization_url: "https://auth.example.com/authorize".to_string(),
        token_url: "https://auth.example.com/token".to_string(),
        device_authorization_url: Some("https://auth.example.com/device".to_string()),
        userinfo_url: Some("https://auth.example.com/userinfo".to_string()),
        revocation_url: Some("https://auth.example.com/revoke".to_string()),
        default_scopes: vec!["read".to_string(), "profile".to_string()],
        supports_pkce: true,
        supports_refresh: true,
        supports_device_flow: true,
        additional_params: HashMap::new(),
    },
};

// For complete OAuth server implementation examples, see:
// - examples/oauth2_authorization_server.rs
// - examples/complete_oauth2_server_axum.rs

User Profile Standardization

The framework provides a standardized UserProfile type that works across all providers:

use auth_framework::providers::UserProfile;

// Creating user profiles
let profile = UserProfile::new("user123", "github")
    .with_name("John Doe")
    .with_email("john@example.com")
    .with_email_verified(true)
    .with_picture("https://github.com/avatar.jpg")
    .with_locale("en-US")
    .with_additional_data("github_login".to_string(), serde_json::Value::String("johndoe".to_string()));

// Converting to your application's user type
#[derive(serde::Deserialize)]
struct AppUser {
    id: String,
    name: String,
    email: String,
    avatar_url: Option<String>,
}

impl From<UserProfile> for AppUser {
    fn from(profile: UserProfile) -> Self {
        Self {
            id: profile.id,
            name: profile.name.unwrap_or_default(),
            email: profile.email.unwrap_or_default(),
            avatar_url: profile.picture,
        }
    }
}

// Usage
let app_user: AppUser = user_profile.into();

Credential Types Guide

Understanding the relationship between credentials and authentication methods:

use auth_framework::Credential;

// Password credentials -> PasswordMethod
let password_cred = Credential::password("username", "password");

// API key -> ApiKeyMethod
let api_key_cred = Credential::api_key("your_api_key_here");

// JWT token -> JwtMethod
let jwt_cred = Credential::jwt("jwt.token.string");

// OAuth flows are handled by the OAuth server implementation
// See server examples for complete OAuth credential handling
let device_cred = Credential::Custom {
    method: "device_code".to_string(),
    data: {
        let mut data = HashMap::new();
        data.insert("device_code".to_string(), "device_code_string".to_string());
        data.insert("client_id".to_string(), "your_client_id".to_string());
        data
    }
};

// Multi-factor authentication
let mfa_cred = Credential::Mfa {
    primary_credential: Box::new(password_cred),
    mfa_code: "123456".to_string(),
    challenge_id: "mfa_challenge_id".to_string(),
};

// Custom credentials for custom auth methods
let custom_cred = Credential::Custom {
    method: "custom_auth".to_string(),
    data: {
        let mut data = HashMap::new();
        data.insert("token".to_string(), "custom_token".to_string());
        data.insert("signature".to_string(), "signature_string".to_string());
        data
    }
};

CLI Integration

Helper utilities for integrating with CLI frameworks:
