Types

type Authenticator

type Authenticator interface {
	// Authenticate returns information about the user if security is successful, a bool specifying
	// whether the authenticator ran or not and an error if one occurs
	Authenticate(req *http.Request) (*web.UserContext, Decision, error)
}

type Authorizer

type Authorizer interface {
	// Authorize returns decision specifying whether the authorizer allowed, denied or abstained from giving access,
	// the access level associated with the decision and an error if one occurs
	Authorize(req *web.Request) (Decision, web.AccessLevel, error)
}

Authorizer extracts the information from the authenticated user and returns a decision if the authorization passed

type Decision

)

func (Decision) String

func (a Decision) String() string

type TokenData

type TokenData interface {
	// Claims reads the claims from the token into the specified struct
	Claims(v interface{}) error
}

TokenData represents the authentication token

type TokenVerifier

type TokenVerifier interface {
	// Verify verifies that the token is valid and returns a token if so, otherwise returns an error
	Verify(ctx context.Context, token string) (TokenData, error)
}

TokenVerifier attempts to verify a token and returns it or an error if the verification was not successful
