# Gamora
> Amco OpenID Connect strategy for Überauth.
## Installation
1. Setup your application at Amco OIDC Provider.
2. Add `:gamora` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:gamora, "~> 0.10"}
]
end
```
3. Add Gamora to your Überauth configuration:
```elixir
config :ueberauth, Ueberauth,
providers: [
amco: {Gamora, []}
]
```
4. Update your provider configuration:
Example 1: Using environment variables at compile time:
```elixir
config :ueberauth, Gamora.OAuth,
site: System.get_env("AMCO_IDP_URL"),
client_id: System.get_env("AMCO_CLIENT_ID"),
client_secret: System.get_env("AMCO_CLIENT_SECRET")
```
Example 2: Using environment variables from a runtime file:
```elixir
config :ueberauth, Gamora.OAuth,
site: {System, :get_env, ["AMCO_IDP_URL"]},
client_id: {System, :get_env, ["AMCO_CLIENT_ID"]},
client_secret: {System, :get_env, ["AMCO_CLIENT_SECRET"]}
```
Example 3: Using strings in a managed file at runtime:
```elixir
config :ueberauth, Gamora.OAuth,
site: "https://my_idp.example.com",
client_id: "my client id",
client_secret: "my client secret"
```
5. Include the Überauth plug in your controller:
```elixir
defmodule MyAppWeb.AuthController do
use MyAppWeb, :controller
plug Ueberauth
...
end
```
6. Create the request and callback routes if you haven't already:
```elixir
scope "/auth", MyAppWeb do
pipe_through :browser
get "/logout", AuthController, :logout
get "/:provider", AuthController, :request
get "/:provider/callback", AuthController, :callback
# If your app is a JSON API, you'll want to exchange the
# authorization code using a POST request.
post "/:provider/callback", AuthController, :callback
end
```
7. Your controller needs to implement callbacks to deal with `Ueberauth.Auth` and `Ueberauth.Failure` responses.
For an example implementation see the [Überauth Example](https://github.com/ueberauth/ueberauth_example) application.
## Callbacks
### Web-based applications
For web-based applications you should add the auth response to the
session and redirect the user to the path you want. Your callbacks in
the auth controller should look like this:
```elixir
defmodule MyAppWeb.AuthController do
use MyAppWeb, :controller
plug Ueberauth
def callback(%{assigns: %{ueberauth_failure: _fails}} = conn, _params) do
conn
|> put_flash(:error, "Failed to authenticate.")
|> redirect(to: redirect_path(conn))
end
def callback(%{assigns: %{ueberauth_auth: auth}} = conn, _params) do
conn
|> put_flash(:info, "Successfully authenticated.")
|> put_session(:access_token, auth.credentials.token)
|> put_session(:refresh_token, auth.credentials.refresh_token)
|> configure_session(renew: true)
|> redirect(to: redirect_path(conn))
end
defp redirect_path(conn) do
get_session(conn, :original_url) || "/"
end
end
```
### JSON API applications
For JSON API applications you should return the access token, refresh
token and id token to the native application that is consuming the API.
Your callbacks in the auth controller should look like this:
```elixir
defmodule MyAppWeb.AuthController do
use MyAppWeb, :controller
plug Ueberauth
def callback(%{assigns: %{ueberauth_failure: fails}} = conn, _params) do
conn
|> put_status(:unauthorized)
|> json(%{
message: fails.message,
message_key: fails.message_key
})
end
def callback(%{assigns: %{ueberauth_auth: auth}} = conn, _params) do
conn
|> json(%{
access_token: auth.credentials.token,
id_token: auth.credentials.other["id_token"],
refresh_token: auth.credentials.refresh_token
})
end
def logout(conn, _params) do
conn
|> put_session(:access_token, nil)
|> put_session(:refresh_token, nil)
|> redirect(to: ~p"/auth/amco?max_age=0")
end
end
```
## Protected Routes
Protecting a route means that incoming requests should contain an
access token. That access token will be validated against the
Identity Provider to verify it has not expired and is still valid.
If the access token is valid, you will have the current user in the
`conn.assigns[:current_user]` based on the claims returned by de IdP.
Otherwise the error handler will be called and the connection must be
halted.
### Web-based applications
Use the plug `Gamora.Plugs.AuthenticatedUser` in
your protected routes. This will get the access token from session
and validate it against the IDP (OIDC Identity Provider).
```elixir
defmodule MyAppWeb.Router do
use MyAppWeb, :router
pipeline :protected do
plug Gamora.Plugs.AuthenticatedUser,
error_handler: MyAppWeb.AuthenticationErrorHandler,
access_token_source: :session
end
scope "/", MyAppWeb do
pipe_through [:browser, :protected]
# Add your protected routes here
end
end
```
And define your callbacks module in your application. It may look
something like the following in a phoenix application:
```elixir
defmodule MyAppWeb.AuthenticationErrorHandler do
@behaviour Gamora.ErrorHandler
import Plug.Conn, only: [halt: 1, put_session: 3]
import Phoenix.Controller, only: [redirect: 2]
@impl Gamora.ErrorHandler
def access_token_error(conn, error) do
conn
|> put_session(:original_url, conn.request_path)
|> redirect(to: "/auth/amco")
|> halt()
end
end
```
### JSON API applications
If your app requires json response you'll need to add `access_token_source: :headers`
to the plug options. It will get the access token from the request
header `Authorization: Bearer <access_token>`.
```elixir
defmodule MyAppWeb.Router do
use MyAppWeb, :router
pipeline :protected do
plug Gamora.Plugs.AuthenticatedUser,
error_handler: MyAppWeb.AuthenticationErrorHandler,
access_token_source: :headers
end
end
```
And then update your `ErrorHandler` to response with a json. It may
look something like this:
```elixir
defmodule MyAppWeb.AuthenticationErrorHandler do
@behaviour Gamora.ErrorHandler
import Plug.Conn
import Phoenix.Controller
@impl Gamora.ErrorHandler
def access_token_error(conn, error) do
conn
|> put_status(:unauthorized)
|> json(%{error: error})
|> halt()
end
end
```
## Calling
Depending on the configured url you can initiate the request through:
/auth/amco
Or with options:
/auth/amco?scope=email%20profile&strategy=phone_number
By default the requested scope is `openid profile email`. Scope can be configured
either explicitly as a `scope` query value on the request path or in your
configuration:
```elixir
config :ueberauth, Ueberauth,
providers: [
amco: {Gamora, [default_scope: "openid email phone"]}
]
```
By default the strategy to be used is `default`. Strategy can be configured
either explicitly as a `strategy` query value on the request path or in your
configuration:
```elixir
config :ueberauth, Ueberauth,
providers: [
amco: {Gamora, [default_strategy: "phone_number"]}
]
```
By default the theme to be used is `default`. Theme can be configured
either explicitly as a `theme` query value on the request path or in your
configuration:
```elixir
config :ueberauth, Ueberauth,
providers: [
amco: {Gamora, [default_theme: "dark_blue"]}
]
```
By default the brand to be used is `amco`. Branding can be configured
either explicitly as a `branding` query value on the request path or in your
configuration:
```elixir
config :ueberauth, Ueberauth,
providers: [
amco: {Gamora, [default_branding: "amco"]}
]
```
By default prompt is not present in the authorization url. Prompt can be
configured either explicitly as a `prompt` query value on the request
path or in your configuration:
```elixir
config :ueberauth, Ueberauth,
providers: [
amco: {Gamora, [default_prompt: "login"]}
]
```
To guard against client-side request modification, it's important to still
check the domain in `info.urls[:website]` within the `Ueberauth.Auth` struct
if you want to limit sign-in to a specific domain.
## Caching
In order to avoid performing requests to the IDP on each request in the
application, it is possible to set a caching time for introspection and
userinfo endpoints. Make sure to not have a too long expiration time for
`introspect_cache_expires_in` but not too short to impact the application
performance, it is a balance.
```elixir
config :ueberauth, Gamora.Plugs.AuthenticatedUser,
introspect_cache_expires_in: :timer.seconds(0), # Default value
userinfo_cache_expires_in: :timer.minutes(1) # Default value
```
Then, add `Gamora.Cache` in `lib/my_app/application.ex`:
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Application do
use Application
@impl true
def start(_type, _args) do
children =
[
Gamora.Cache,
...
]
...
```
### Custom Cache Adapter
By default, Gamora uses `Gamora.Cache` which uses the `Nebulex.Adapters.Local`.
Custom Nebulex cache module can be used in your application passing the
`cache_adapter` configuration:
```elixir
config :ueberauth, Gamora.Plugs.AuthenticatedUser,
cache_adapter: MyApp.Cache
```
## Testing
In test environment you should avoid making requests to authenticate
users in protected routes. In order to do that, you can configure the
`TestAdapter` for the `AuthenticatedUser` plug in your `config/test.exs`:
```elixir
config :ueberauth, Gamora.Plugs.AuthenticatedUser,
adapter: Gamora.Plugs.AuthenticatedUser.TestAdapter
```
