coreason-identity

Decoupled authentication middleware, abstracting OIDC and OAuth2 protocols from the main application.

Overview

coreason-identity ("The Bouncer") handles all Authentication (AuthN) and Role-Based Access Control (AuthZ) for the CoReason platform. It enforces a strict "Bouncer" philosophy: it checks IDs and checks lists but does not issue IDs.

The package standardizes:

• Protocol: OIDC (OpenID Connect).
• Identity Provider: Auth0 or Keycloak.
• Library: Authlib.

Features

Based on the Product Requirements:

• OIDCProvider: Fetches and caches JWKS from the OIDC Discovery URL (LRU Cache).
• TokenValidator: Validates JWT signatures, standard claims (exp, iss, aud), and enforces strict audience checks to prevent "Confused Deputy" attacks.
• IdentityMapper: Maps IdP claims to a standardized UserContext model, handling project context extraction and group-to-permission mapping.
• DeviceFlowClient: Implements RFC 8628 OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant for headless CLI authentication.
• Observability: Emits OpenTelemetry spans and secure logs (PII hashed).
• Security: DNS-based SSRF protection for OIDC discovery URLs (configurable bypass for development).

Installation

pip install coreason-identity

Usage

1. Token Verification (Server-Side)

Use CoreasonVerifierConfig for services that only need to validate tokens (no client credentials required).

from coreason_identity import IdentityManager, CoreasonVerifierConfig, InvalidTokenError
from pydantic import SecretStr

# Initialize (The Bouncer)
config = CoreasonVerifierConfig(
    domain="auth.coreason.com",
    audience="api://coreason",
    pii_salt=SecretStr("super-secret-salt-123"),  # Mandatory: for PII hashing
    http_timeout=5.0,  # Mandatory: fail fast if IdP is slow
    allowed_algorithms=["RS256"],  # Mandatory: algorithm allowlist
    clock_skew_leeway=0            # Optional: defaults to 0 (strict security)
)
identity = IdentityManager(config)

# Validate (The Check)
try:
    # Validate a raw Bearer token
    user_context = identity.validate_token(auth_header="Bearer eyJ...")

    # Access canonical Identity Passport fields
    print(f"User {user_context.user_id} ({user_context.email}) is active.")

    # Check groups for Row-Level Security
    if "admin" in user_context.groups:
        print("Admin access granted.")

except InvalidTokenError:
    # Handle invalid tokens (expired, bad signature, wrong audience, etc.)
    print("Access denied.")

2. Device Flow Login (CLI / Client-Side)

Use CoreasonClientConfig when the application acts as an OIDC Client (needs client_id).

from coreason_identity import IdentityManager, CoreasonClientConfig

# Initialize (The Borrower)
config = CoreasonClientConfig(
    domain="auth.coreason.com",
    audience="api://coreason",
    client_id="my-cli-client-id",  # Mandatory for client operations
    pii_salt=SecretStr("super-secret-salt-123"),
    http_timeout=10.0,
    allowed_algorithms=["RS256"]
)
identity = IdentityManager(config)

# CLI Login (The Device Flow)
# Initiate the flow
flow = identity.start_device_login(scope="openid profile email")
print(f"Go to {flow.verification_uri} and enter {flow.user_code}")

# Poll for tokens
try:
    tokens = identity.await_device_token(flow)
    print("Login successful!")
    print(f"Access Token: {tokens.access_token}")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Login failed: {e}")
