Authorizer

Authorizer is a secure OAuth service written in Go. Currently, Authorizer supports only Google OAuth, but it can be extended to any provider by implementing the oauth.Provider interface present in the pkg/oauth package. Contributions are welcome.

Security Features

• CSRF protection using the "state" parameter. (Read more)
• Authorization code interception protection using PKCE with S256 challenge method. (Read more)
• Access token exchange using HTTP only cookies.

Google Client ID and Secret

Google Client ID and Client Secret are mandatory configs to make Google OAuth work. If you don't already have them, find instructions here.

Quickstart

1. Make sure you have Docker (or Podman) installed and a PostgreSQL running.
2. Create a config file by executing:

   cp configs/configs.sample.yaml configs/configs.yaml
   

3. Update the configs.yaml file with your database details, Google Client ID, Secret etc.
4. Build the image.

   make image
   

5. Run container.

   make container
   

6. Go to http://localhost:8080/api/auth/google?redirect_url=http://localhost:8080 to start Sign in with Google.
7. After signing in, you will be redirected to the specified redirect_url with an HTTP only cookie that contains the access token.
8. Now, if you open the network tab and go to http://localhost:8080/api/check, the response headers will contain the following headers, X-Auth-Email, X-Auth-Name, X-Auth-Picture.
