SoapBox-Auth

Description

This Auth Service was designed to help with managing auth across all SoapBox services. In particular, it allowed for login and logout through JWT and using REDIS as a datastore (speed reasons).
View the functional designs below:

• Login
• Logout

Dependencies

• Redis
• OAUTH PROVIDERS (Clients and secrets)
  • Google
  • Slack
  • Microsoft ...

Setup instructions

• create .env file (copy .env.example. It already has working values for the variables you need to change).
  Be careful to put in correct values for all providers.
  Here are a few pitfalls for some of the env variables

  • URLs:
    • http is different from https
    • http://url.com is different from http://url.com/
  • The client, secret and redirect url (used when using legacy auth) must match whatever values used on the frontend
  • Redis:
    • Same credentials (REDIS_HOST, REDIS_PORT and REDIS_DATABASE) as API-Gateway

• Run composer install

How to use legacy auth:

To use the GoodTalk-API for authentication, simply add a parameter soapbox-slug to your request.
