Functions

func GetBackendList

func GetBackendList() []string

GetBackendList returns a []string of implementation names.

func Register

func Register(name string, impl Factory)

Register is called by implementations to register ServiceFactory functions.

Types

type Claims

type Claims struct {
	EntityID     string
	Capabilities []string
}

Claims is a type that contains the claims that all tokens shall have. Implementations may embed additional messages, but these cliams must exist here.

func (*Claims) HasCapability

func (c *Claims) HasCapability(cap string) bool

HasCapability is a convenience function to determine if the provided token contains the requested capability. The capability GLOBAL_ROOT will cause the function to return true immediately as GLOBAL_ROOT counts for all capabilities.

type Config

type Config struct {
	Lifetime  time.Duration
	Issuer    string
	IssuedAt  time.Time
	NotBefore time.Time
}

The Config struct contains information that should be used when generating a token.

func GetConfig

func GetConfig() Config

GetConfig returns a struct containing the configuration for the token service to use while issuing tokens.

type Factory

type Factory func() (Service, error)

A Factory returns a token service when called.

type Service

type Service interface {
	Generate(Claims, Config) (string, error)
	Validate(string) (Claims, error)
}

The Service type defines the required interface for the Token Service. The service must generate tokens, and be able to validate them.

func New

func New() (Service, error)

New returns an initialized token service based on the value of the --token_impl flag.
