Expand description

Huskarl provides tools for implementing secure OAuth2 clients in rust.

This library provides a number of grant implementations, each of which is configured with a set of parameters that define how the grant/workflow should progress.

The library also provides a caching layer for token responses; and a HTTP authorizer that can be used to make authenticated requests to resource servers.

§Setup

  1. Create a HTTP client instance (e.g. with huskarl-reqwest).
  2. Get authorization server metadata (or OIDC discovery data) when appropriate (but not necessary).
  3. Set up your client’s authentication.
  4. Create the grant, filling in its fields, and supplying the client authentication.

Once you have a grant, how exactly to use it depends on the grant. The simplest grants only require the exchange call, which exchanges grant-specific parameters for a token at the token endpoint.

Other grants act like workflows, with a set of steps required, which will also involve one or more calls to the token endpoint.

§Grants provided in this crate:

  • ClientCredentials Allows a client to exchange its own credentials in return for an access token.
  • Refresh Allows a client which previously received a refresh token alongside an access token, to exchange it in return for an access token.
  • AuthorizationCode Provides the ability for a client to send the interactive user a URL at which to authenticate; a code from a successful authentication is returned to the client, which can exchange it in return for an access token.
  • DeviceAuthorization Enables a client to provide a code and/or URL to an interactive user, which they can use to log in from another machine. They complete the requirements of login, and the authorization server is notified that it can provide the corresponding access token to the client.
  • TokenExchange Allows the client to exchange an existing token for a new security token, supporting impersonation and delegation use cases.

Further grants exist, could either be implemented for this library either in-crate, or can be implemented by external crates. Examples include CIBA, JWT authorization, or provider-specific grants.

§Examples

§Client Credentials Grant

let metadata = AuthorizationServerMetadata::builder()
    .http_client(&http_client)
    .issuer(issuer)
    .build()
    .await
    .unwrap();

let grant = ClientCredentialsGrant::builder_from_metadata(&metadata)
    .client_id(client_id)
    .client_auth(ClientSecret::new(client_secret))
    .dpop(NoDPoP)
    .build();

let token_response = grant
    .exchange(
        &http_client,
        ClientCredentialsGrantParameters::builder()
            .scopes(vec!["test"])
            .build(),
    )
    .await
    .unwrap();

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