Allow users to build their own token storage system by implementing the `TokenStorage` trait. This allows use of more secure storage mechanisms like OS keychains, encrypted files, or secret-management tools.
Custom storage providers are Box-ed to avoid adding more generics to the API — the indirection cost will only apply if using a custom store.
I've added `anyhow` to allow easy handling of a wide range of errors from custom storage providers.
What was previously called Token is now TokenInfo and is merely an
internal implementation detail. The publicly visible type is now called
AccessToken and differs from TokenInfo by not including the refresh
token. This makes it a smaller type for users to pass around as well as
reducing the ways that a refresh token may be leaked. Since the
Authenticator is responsible for refreshing the tokens there isn't any
reason users should need to concern themselves with refresh tokens.
Prior to this change DeviceFlow and InstalledFlow were used within
Authenticator, while ServiceAccountAccess was used on it's own. AFAICT
this was the case because ServiceAccountAccess never used refresh tokens
and Authenticator assumed all tokens contained refresh tokens.
Authenticator was recently modified to handle the case where a token
does not contain a refresh token so I don't see any reason to keep the
service account access separate anymore. Folding it into the
authenticator provides a nice consistent interface, and the service
account implementation no longer needs to provide it's own caching since
it is now handled by Authenticator.
No more need to macro_use serde. Order the imports consistently (albeit
somewhat arbitrary), starting with items from this crate, followed by
std, followed by external crates.
RequestError is the error value that encompasses all errors from the
authenticators. Their is an established convention of using Error as the
name for those types.
Restructure the modules and imports to increase the signal to noise
ration on the cargo doc landing page. This includes exposing some
modules as public so that they can contain things that need to be public
but that users will rarely need to interact with. Most items from
types.rs were moved into an error.rs module that is now exposed
publicly.
1) Remove the GetToken trait. The trait seemed to be organically
designed. It appeared to be mostly tailored for simplifying the
implementation since there was no way for users to provide their own
implementation to Authenticator. It sadly seemed to get in the way of
implementations more than it helped. An enum representing the known
implementations is a more straightforward way to accomplish the goal and
also has the benefit of not requiring Boxing when returning features
(which admittedly is a minor concern for this use case).
2) Reduce the number of type parameters by using trait object for
delegates. This simplifies the code considerably and the performance
impact of virtual dispatch for the delegate calls is a non-factor.
3) With the above two simplifications it became easier to unify the
public interface for building an authenticator. See the examples for how
InstalledFlow, DeviceFlow, and ServiceAccount authenticators are now created.
The current code uses standard blocking i/o operations (std::fs::*) this
is problematic as it would block the entire futures executor waiting for
i/o.
This change is a major refactoring to make the token storage mechansim
async i/o friendly. The first major decision was to abandon the GetToken
trait. The trait is only implemented internally and there was no
mechanism for users to provide their own, but async fn's are not
currently supported in trait impls so keeping the trait would have
required Boxing futures. This probably would have been fine, but seemed
unnecessary. Instead of a trait the storage mechanism is just an enum
with a choice between Memory and Disk storage.
The DiskStorage works primarily as it did before, rewriting the entire
contents of the file on every set() invocation. The only difference is
that we now defer the actual writing to a separate task so that it does
not block the return of the Token to the user. If disk i/o is too slow
to keep up with the rate of incoming writes it will push back and
will eventually block the return of tokens, this is to prevent a buildup
of in-flight requests. One major drawback to this approach is that any
errors that happen on write are simply logged and no delegate function
is invoked on error because the delegate no longer has the ability to
say to sleep, retry, etc.
In favor of making it the default and removing the option to specify a
port to listen on. If needed a variant can be added to specify a port
explicitly, but most users should want an ephemeral port chosen so
making it the default makes sense while other breaking changes are in
flight.
Along with the public facing change the implementation has been modified
to no longer clone the scopes instead using the pointer to the scopes
the user provided. This greatly reduces the number of allocations on
each token() call.
Note that this also changes the hashing method used for token storage in
an incompatible way with the previous implementation. The previous
implementation pre-sorted the vector and hashed the contents to make the
result independent of the ordering of the scopes. Instead we now combine
the hash values of each scope together with XOR, thus producing a hash
value that does not depend on order without needing to allocate another
vector and sort.
Beyond simply moving to the builder pattern for intialization this has a
few other effects.
The DeviceFlow and InstalledFlow can no longer be used without an
associated Authenticator. This is becaus they no longer have any
publicly accessible constructor. All initialization goes through the
Authenticator. This also means that the flows are always initialized
with a clone of the hyper client used by the Authenticator.
The authenticator uses the builder pattern which allows omitting
optional fields. This means that if users simply want a default hyper
client, they don't need to create one explicitly. One will be created
automatically. If users want to specify a hyper client (maybe to allow
sharing a single client between different libraries) they can still do so
by using the hyper_client method on the builder. Additionally for both
AuthenticatorDelegate's and FlowDelegate's if the user does not specify
an override the default ones will be used.
The builders are now exposed publicly with the names of Authenicator,
InstalledFlow, and DeviceFlow. The structs that actually implement those
behaviors are now hidden and only expose the GetToken trait. This means
some methods that were previously publicly accessible are no longer
available, but the methods appeared to be implementation details that
probably shouldn't have been exposed anyway.
Specifying a port of zero has the server listen on an ephemeral port.
Many users may not be aware of that unless they have a background in
networking where that's common practice. I'm also not able to think of
any use cases where listening on a hardcoded port would be beneficial,
so with this change I've opted to remove the ability entirely rather
than simply documenting that almost everybody should specify zero.
This upgrade Hyper to v0.12 and updats to code to work for it. It has
being done with the minimum code change and so the logic is still
aukward for the futures model. This should be addressed in later commits
but I did not want to compilcate an already large commit.
This removes the need for the remaining C interfaces.
Building any rust library with openssl adds a bunch
of depends such as foreign types via ffi and pkgconfg.
You are also required to have a prebuilt openssl.
Cross building and keeping up to date should be easier
with a pure rust implementation.
With Rust 1.15, proc macros have been stabilized. Therefore
custom build scripts are not required anymore.
This commit removes all the previous machinery and the
need for nightly.
serde_macros is no longer maintained and will eventually
fail on nightly.
Also in a hopefully not-so-distant future, we will be able
to use macros 1.1 in stable, and thus get rid of the
complication required for the hybrid approach.
This is a breaking change; it's supposed to fix#1. Also, it's a
proposal -- not sure if the benefits outweigh the cost of this.
The example/auth.rs binary is not broken by this, as it doesn't use the
API that changed. The tests have been updated accordingly.
