HTTP Authentication implementation in Go

This is an implementation of HTTP Basic and HTTP Digest authentication in Go language. It is designed as a simple wrapper for http.RequestHandler functions.

Features

  • Supports HTTP Basic and HTTP Digest authentication.
  • Supports htpasswd and htdigest formatted files.
  • Automatic reloading of password files.
  • Pluggable interface for user/password storage.
  • Supports MD5 and SHA1 for Basic authentication password storage.
  • Configurable Digest nonce cache size with expiration.
  • Wrapper for legacy http handlers (http.HandlerFunc interface)

Example usage

This is a complete working example for Basic auth:

package main

import (
        auth "github.com/abbot/go-http-auth"
        "fmt"
        "net/http"
)

func Secret(user, realm string) string {
        if user == "john" {
                // password is "hello"
                return "$1$dlPL2MqE$oQmn16q49SqdmhenQuNgs1"
        }
        return ""
}

func handle(w http.ResponseWriter, r *auth.AuthenticatedRequest) {
        fmt.Fprintf(w, "<html><body><h1>Hello, %s!</h1></body></html>", r.Username)
}

func main() {
        authenticator := auth.NewBasicAuthenticator("example.com", Secret)
        http.HandleFunc("/", authenticator.Wrap(handle))
        http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}

Functions

func DigestAuthParams

func DigestAuthParams(r *http.Request) map[string]string

Parse Authorization header from the http.Request. Returns a map of auth parameters or nil if the header is not a valid parsable Digest auth header.

func H

func H(data string) string

H function for MD5 algorithm (returns a lower-case hex MD5 digest)

func JustCheck

func JustCheck(auth AuthenticatorInterface, wrapped http.HandlerFunc) http.HandlerFunc

func MD5Crypt

func MD5Crypt(password, salt, magic []byte) []byte

MD5 password crypt implementation

func RandomKey

func RandomKey() string

Return a random 16-byte base64 alphabet string

Types

type AuthenticatedHandlerFunc

type AuthenticatedHandlerFunc func(http.ResponseWriter, *AuthenticatedRequest)

AuthenticatedHandlerFunc is like http.HandlerFunc, but takes AuthenticatedRequest instead of http.Request

type AuthenticatedRequest

type AuthenticatedRequest struct {
	http.Request
	/*
	 Authenticated user name. Current API implies that Username is
	 never empty, which means that authentication is always done
	 before calling the request handler.
	*/
	Username string
}

Request handlers must take AuthenticatedRequest instead of http.Request

type Authenticator

type Authenticator func(AuthenticatedHandlerFunc) http.HandlerFunc

Authenticator wraps an AuthenticatedHandlerFunc with authentication-checking code.

Typical Authenticator usage is something like:

authenticator := SomeAuthenticator(...)
http.HandleFunc("/", authenticator(my_handler))

Authenticator wrapper checks the user authentication and calls the wrapped function only after authentication has succeeded. Otherwise, it returns a handler which initiates the authentication procedure.

type AuthenticatorInterface

type AuthenticatorInterface interface {
	Wrap(AuthenticatedHandlerFunc) http.HandlerFunc
}

type BasicAuth

type BasicAuth struct {
	Realm   string
	Secrets SecretProvider
}

func NewBasicAuthenticator

func NewBasicAuthenticator(realm string, secrets SecretProvider) *BasicAuth

func (*BasicAuth) CheckAuth

func (a *BasicAuth) CheckAuth(r *http.Request) string

Checks the username/password combination from the request. Returns either an empty string (authentication failed) or the name of the authenticated user.

Supports MD5 and SHA1 password entries

func (*BasicAuth) RequireAuth

func (a *BasicAuth) RequireAuth(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request)

http.Handler for BasicAuth which initiates the authentication process (or requires reauthentication).

func (*BasicAuth) Wrap

BasicAuthenticator returns a function, which wraps an AuthenticatedHandlerFunc converting it to http.HandlerFunc. This wrapper function checks the authentication and either sends back required authentication headers, or calls the wrapped function with authenticated username in the AuthenticatedRequest.

type DigestAuth

type DigestAuth struct {
	Realm            string
	Opaque           string
	Secrets          SecretProvider
	PlainTextSecrets bool

	/*
	 Approximate size of Client's Cache. When actual number of
	 tracked client nonces exceeds
	 ClientCacheSize+ClientCacheTolerance, ClientCacheTolerance*2
	 older entries are purged.
	*/
	ClientCacheSize      int
	ClientCacheTolerance int
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func NewDigestAuthenticator

func NewDigestAuthenticator(realm string, secrets SecretProvider) *DigestAuth

func (*DigestAuth) CheckAuth

func (da *DigestAuth) CheckAuth(r *http.Request) (username string, authinfo *string)

Check if request contains valid authentication data. Returns a pair of username, authinfo where username is the name of the authenticated user or an empty string and authinfo is the contents for the optional Authentication-Info response header.

func (*DigestAuth) JustCheck

func (a *DigestAuth) JustCheck(wrapped http.HandlerFunc) http.HandlerFunc

JustCheck returns function which converts an http.HandlerFunc into a http.HandlerFunc which requires authentication. Username is passed as an extra X-Authenticated-Username header.

func (*DigestAuth) Purge

func (a *DigestAuth) Purge(count int)

Remove count oldest entries from DigestAuth.clients

func (*DigestAuth) RequireAuth

func (a *DigestAuth) RequireAuth(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request)

http.Handler for DigestAuth which initiates the authentication process (or requires reauthentication).

func (*DigestAuth) Wrap

Wrap returns an Authenticator which uses HTTP Digest authentication. Arguments:

realm: The authentication realm.

secrets: SecretProvider which must return HA1 digests for the same realm as above.

type File

type File struct {
	Path string
	Info os.FileInfo
	/* must be set in inherited types during initialization */
	Reload func()
}

Common functions for file auto-reloading

func (*File) ReloadIfNeeded

func (f *File) ReloadIfNeeded()

type HtdigestFile

type HtdigestFile struct {
	File
	Users map[string]map[string]string
}

Structure used for htdigest file authentication. Users map realms to maps of users to their HA1 digests.

type HtpasswdFile

type HtpasswdFile struct {
	File
	Users map[string]string
}

Structure used for htdigest file authentication. Users map users to their salted encrypted password

type MD5Entry

type MD5Entry struct {
	Magic, Salt, Hash []byte
}

func NewMD5Entry

func NewMD5Entry(e string) *MD5Entry

type SecretProvider

type SecretProvider func(user, realm string) string

SecretProvider is used by authenticators. Takes user name and realm as an argument, returns secret required for authentication (HA1 for digest authentication, properly encrypted password for basic).

func HtdigestFileProvider

func HtdigestFileProvider(filename string) SecretProvider

SecretProvider implementation based on htdigest-formated files. Will reload htdigest file on changes. Will panic on syntax errors in htdigest files.

func HtpasswdFileProvider

func HtpasswdFileProvider(filename string) SecretProvider

SecretProvider implementation based on htpasswd-formated files. Will reload htpasswd file on changes. Will panic on syntax errors in htpasswd files. Realm argument of the SecretProvider is ignored.
