defmodule Ueberauth do @moduledoc """ Ueberauth is a two-phase authentication framework that provides a clear API - allowing for many strategies to be created and shared within the community. It is heavily inspired by [Omniauth](https://github.com/intridea/omniauth). You could call it a port but it is significantly different in operation - but almost the same by concept. Huge hat tip to [Intridea](https://github.com/intridea). Ueberauth provides only the initial authentication challenge, (initial OAuth flow, collecting the information from a login form, etc). It does not authenticate each request, that's up to your application. You could issue a token or put the result into a session for your applications needs. Libraries like [Guardian](https://github.com/hassox/guardian) can help you with that aspect of authentication. The two phases are `request` and `callback`. These phases are implemented by Strategies. ### Strategies Strategies are plugs that decorate or intercept requests (or both). Strategies implement the two phases and then may allow the request to flow through to your downstream plugs. Implementing the request and callback phases is optional depending on the strategies requirements. If a strategy does not redirect, the request will be decorated with Ueberauth information and allowed to carry on through the pipeline. ### Request Phase The request phase is where you request information about the user. This could be a redirect to an OAuth2 authorization url or a form for collecting username and password. The request phase is concerned with only the collection of information. When a request comes in on the request phase url the relevant strategy will receive the `c:Ueberauth.Strategy.handle_request!/1` call. In some cases (default) the application using Ueberauth is responsible for implementing the request phase. That is, you should setup a route to receive the request phase and provide a form etc. In some cases, like OAuth, the request phase is used to redirect your user to a 3rd party site to fulfill the request. For example, an OAuth strategy for GitHub will receive the request phase url and stop the request, redirecting you to GitHub’s OAuth challenge url with some query parameters. Once you complete the GitHub OAuth flow, the user will be redirected back to the host site to the callback URL. Another example is simple email/password authentication. A request is made by the client to the request phase path and the host application displays a form. The strategy will likely not do anything with the incoming `c:Ueberauth.Strategy.handle_request!/1` request and simply pass through to the application. Once the form is completed, the POST should go to the callback url where it is handled (passwords checked, users created / authenticated). ### Callback Phase The callback phase is where the fun happens. Once a successful request phase has been completed, the request phase provider (OAuth provider or host site etc) should call the callback url. The strategy will intercept the request via the `c:Ueberauth.Strategy.handle_callback!/1`. If successful it should prepare the connection so the `Ueberauth.Auth` struct can be created, or set errors to indicate a failure. See `Ueberauth.Strategy` for more information on constructing the `Ueberauth.Auth` struct. ### Setup In your configuration file provide a list of the providers you intend to use. #### Example config :ueberauth, Ueberauth, providers: [ facebook: {Ueberauth.Strategy.Facebook, [opt1: "value", opts2: "value"]}, github: {Ueberauth.Strategy.Github, [opt1: "value", opts2: "value"]} ] This will define two providers for you. The general structure of the providers value is: config :ueberauth, Ueberauth, providers: [ : {, []} ] We use the configuration options for defining these to allow for dependency injection in different environments. The provider name will be used to construct request and response paths (by default) but will also be returned in the `Ueberauth.Auth` struct as the `provider` field. Once you've setup your providers, in your router you need to configure the plug to run. The plug should run before your application routes. In phoenix, plug this module in your controller: defmodule MyApp.AuthController do use MyApp.Web, :controller plug Ueberauth ... end Its URL matching is done via pattern matching rather than explicit runtime checks so your strategies will only fire for relevant requests. Now that you have this, your strategies will intercept relevant requests for each strategy for both request and callback phases. The default URLs are (for our Facebook & GitHub example) # Request phase paths /auth/facebook /auth/github # Callback phase paths /auth/facebook/callback /auth/github/callback If you want to include only some of the providers with your plug you can specify a list of configured providers defmodule MyApp.Admin.AuthController do use MyApp.Web, :controller plug Ueberauth, providers: [:identity], base_path: "/admin/auth" end This will allow you to have different login points in your application selectively using some or all of the providers. #### Configuration of different Providers per OTP app If you wish to use Ueberauth in multiple OTP apps, and configure each instance of Ueberauth with a different list of Providers, you will need to do some things differently. When providing configuration for Ueberauth, you should set anything that differs by OTP app under the name of your OTP app, for example: config :my_app, Ueberauth, providers: [ … ] Further, when using the Ueberauth plug, you should pass the `:otp_app` option, for example: defmodule MyApp.Admin.AuthController do use MyApp.Web, :controller plug Ueberauth, otp_app: :my_app, providers: [:identity], base_path: "/admin/auth" end This ensures that in addition to globally configured values under `:ueberauth`, values set under your own namespace are used with priority. #### Customizing Paths These paths can be configured on a per strategy basis by setting options on the provider. Note: These paths are absolute #### Example config :ueberauth, Ueberauth, base_path: "/login", # default is "/auth" providers: [ identity: {Ueberauth.Strategies.Identity, [request_path: "/login/identity", callback_path: "/login/identity/callback"]} ], json_library: Poison # or Jason #### Customizing Schemes By default, Ueberauth uses your `Plug.Conn` scheme. A custom scheme can be provided through the request header `X-Forwarded-Proto`. For example, in Nginx you can set it. proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; Another option is to override this via options to your strategy. providers: [ identity: {Ueberauth.Strategies.Identity, [callback_scheme: "https"]} ] #### Customizing Ports By default, Ueberauth uses your `Plug.Conn` port. To override this via options to your strategy. providers: [ identity: {Ueberauth.Strategies.Identity, [callback_port: 4000]} ] #### Http Methods By default, all callback URLs are only available via the `"GET"` method. You can override this via options to your strategy. providers: [ identity: {Ueberauth.Strategies.Identity, [callback_methods: ["POST"]]} ] #### Strategy Options All options that are passed into your strategy are available at runtime to modify the behaviour of the strategy.
