credentials

Documentation

Overview

Package credentials implements various credentials supported by gRPC library, which encapsulate all the state needed by a client to authenticate with a server and make various assertions, e.g., about the client's identity, role, or whether it is authorized to make a particular call.

Types

type AuthInfo

type AuthInfo interface {
	AuthType() string
}

AuthInfo defines the common interface for the auth information the users are interested in.

type PerRPCCredentials

type PerRPCCredentials interface {
	// GetRequestMetadata gets the current request metadata, refreshing
	// tokens if required. This should be called by the transport layer on
	// each request, and the data should be populated in headers or other
	// context. uri is the URI of the entry point for the request. When
	// supported by the underlying implementation, ctx can be used for
	// timeout and cancellation.
	// TODO(zhaoq): Define the set of the qualified keys instead of leaving
	// it as an arbitrary string.
	GetRequestMetadata(ctx context.Context, uri ...string) (map[string]string, error)
	// RequireTransportSecurity indicates whether the credentials requires
	// transport security.
	RequireTransportSecurity() bool
}

PerRPCCredentials defines the common interface for the credentials which need to attach security information to every RPC (e.g., oauth2).

type ProtocolInfo

type ProtocolInfo struct {
	// ProtocolVersion is the gRPC wire protocol version.
	ProtocolVersion string
	// SecurityProtocol is the security protocol in use.
	SecurityProtocol string
	// SecurityVersion is the security protocol version.
	SecurityVersion string
	// ServerName is the user-configured server name.
	ServerName string
}

ProtocolInfo provides information regarding the gRPC wire protocol version, security protocol, security protocol version in use, server name, etc.

type TLSInfo

type TLSInfo struct {
	State tls.ConnectionState
}

TLSInfo contains the auth information for a TLS authenticated connection. It implements the AuthInfo interface.

func (TLSInfo) AuthType

func (t TLSInfo) AuthType() string

AuthType returns the type of TLSInfo as a string.

type TransportCredentials

type TransportCredentials interface {
	// ClientHandshake does the authentication handshake specified by the corresponding
	// authentication protocol on rawConn for clients. It returns the authenticated
	// connection and the corresponding auth information about the connection.
	// Implementations must use the provided context to implement timely cancellation.
	// gRPC will try to reconnect if the error returned is a temporary error
	// (io.EOF, context.DeadlineExceeded or err.Temporary() == true).
	// If the returned error is a wrapper error, implementations should make sure that
	// the error implements Temporary() to have the correct retry behaviors.
	ClientHandshake(context.Context, string, net.Conn) (net.Conn, AuthInfo, error)
	// ServerHandshake does the authentication handshake for servers. It returns
	// the authenticated connection and the corresponding auth information about
	// the connection.
	ServerHandshake(net.Conn) (net.Conn, AuthInfo, error)
	// Info provides the ProtocolInfo of this TransportCredentials.
	Info() ProtocolInfo
	// Clone makes a copy of this TransportCredentials.
	Clone() TransportCredentials
	// OverrideServerName overrides the server name used to verify the hostname on the returned certificates from the server.
	// gRPC internals also use it to override the virtual hosting name if it is set.
	// It must be called before dialing. Currently, this is only used by grpclb.
	OverrideServerName(string) error
}

TransportCredentials defines the common interface for all the live gRPC wire protocols and supported transport security protocols (e.g., TLS, SSL).

func NewClientTLSFromCert

func NewClientTLSFromCert(cp *x509.CertPool, serverNameOverride string) TransportCredentials

NewClientTLSFromCert constructs TLS credentials from the input certificate for client. serverNameOverride is for testing only. If set to a non empty string, it will override the virtual host name of authority (e.g. :authority header field) in requests.

func NewClientTLSFromFile

func NewClientTLSFromFile(certFile, serverNameOverride string) (TransportCredentials, error)

NewClientTLSFromFile constructs TLS credentials from the input certificate file for client. serverNameOverride is for testing only. If set to a non empty string, it will override the virtual host name of authority (e.g. :authority header field) in requests.

func NewServerTLSFromCert

func NewServerTLSFromCert(cert *tls.Certificate) TransportCredentials

NewServerTLSFromCert constructs TLS credentials from the input certificate for server.

func NewServerTLSFromFile

func NewServerTLSFromFile(certFile, keyFile string) (TransportCredentials, error)

NewServerTLSFromFile constructs TLS credentials from the input certificate file and key file for server.

func NewTLS

func NewTLS(c *tls.Config) TransportCredentials

NewTLS uses c to construct a TransportCredentials based on TLS.
