auth
auth/doc.go
Move login concerns to session, add login handler. Move all our helpers for authenticating, building a login redirect, and reading a cookie to session.go. Rewrite our passphrase scheme code so that a scheme is just a struct with three functions for checking a passphrase against a profile object, generating a passphrase, and calculating the number of iterations to use when generating a passphrase. Define an implementation of our passphrase scheme (scheme #1) using PBKDF2 and SHA256. Add a CreateSessionHandler function that logs the user in using their login and passphrase. Add a RegisterSessionHandlers function that adds the session-related handlers (right now, just our CreateSessionHandler) to the specified router.

| paddy@57 | 2 Package auth provides an authentication service for managing user accounts and an OAuth2 provider. |
| paddy@57 | 3 |
| paddy@57 | 4 The service is an opinionated implementation of authentication using passphrases and the |
| paddy@57 | 5 code.secondbit.org/pass package to implement user credentials and accounts. Additionally, users |
| paddy@57 | 6 are permitted to login using their email address on record or their username interchangeably. |
| paddy@57 | 7 Care is also taken to be able to mitigate attacks that have already happened and plan ahead for |
| paddy@57 | 8 the worst case scenarios. |
| paddy@57 | 9 |
| paddy@57 | 10 An OAuth2 provider is also built-in and provided, complete with client registration and management, |
| paddy@57 | 11 as well as a specification-based set of handlers for managing the issuing of grants and tokens. Token |
| paddy@57 | 12 validiity may be asserted through an API, or a proxy service is provided for stripping auth-specific |
| paddy@57 | 13 information from requests and replacing it with a trusted header containing information about the user |
| paddy@57 | 14 and client that authorized the request. |
