Auth-Session

A very simple session-based authentication system.

Usage

go run cmd/main.go

This will start a server on port 8080 by default.

The server provides two routes:

• /login - creates a session
• /logout - destroys the session
• /authenticate - validate the session

See the open API spec for more information in the /api/openapi.yaml file.

Configuration

The configuration is done via environment variables:

• DATABASE_URL - The database connection string. Currently only SQLite is supported
• DATABASE_TYPE - The database type, defaults to sqlite. Currently only sqlite is supported

Limitations

• The authentication has to be handled by the client at this stage, this library is purely a session manager.
• There is only an SQLite adapter at this point, and no ability to connect to external databases.
• The listening port is hardcoded to 8080.

Roadmap

• Add support for PostgreSQL
• Add dockerfile and docker-compose example
