Minimal JWT auth server for the pico ecosystem

Pico-Auth

Minimal JWT auth server for the Pico ecosystem.

Pico-Auth is a ready-to-run authentication server built on top of the pico-framework stack. It provides:

• RS256 JWT tokens with auto-generated RSA key pairs
• Refresh token rotation with SHA-256 hashed storage
• RBAC with four built-in roles: superadmin, org_admin, operator, viewer
• OIDC discovery endpoints (.well-known/openid-configuration, JWKS)
• Bcrypt password hashing (72-byte input limit enforced)
• Zero-config startup with auto-created admin user

Requires Python 3.11+

---

Architecture

Pico-Auth uses the full Pico stack with dependency injection:

Layer	Component	Decorator
Config	AuthSettings	@configured(prefix="auth")
Models	User, RefreshToken	SQLAlchemy AppBase
Repository	UserRepository, RefreshTokenRepository	@component
Service	AuthService	@component
Security	JWTProvider, PasswordService, LocalJWKSProvider	@component
Routes	AuthController, OIDCController	@controller

---

Installation

pip install -e ".[dev]"

---

Quick Start

1. Run the Server

python -m pico_auth.main

The server starts on http://localhost:8100 with:

• An auto-created admin user ([e-mail] / admin)
• SQLite database at auth.db
• RSA keys at ~/.pico-auth/

2. Register a User

curl -X POST http://localhost:8100/api/v1/auth/register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "[e-mail]", "password": "secret123", "display_name": "Alice"}'

3. Login

curl -X POST http://localhost:8100/api/v1/auth/login \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "[e-mail]", "password": "secret123"}'

Returns:

{
  "access_token": "eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIs...",
  "refresh_token": "a1b2c3d4...",
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "expires_in": 900
}

4. Access Protected Endpoint

curl http://localhost:8100/api/v1/auth/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIs..."

Configuration

All settings are loaded from application.yaml and can be overridden with environment variables:

auth:
  data_dir: "~/.pico-auth"              # RSA key storage
  access_token_expire_minutes: 15        # JWT lifetime
  refresh_token_expire_days: 7           # Refresh token lifetime
  issuer: "http://localhost:8100"        # JWT issuer claim
  audience: "pico-bot"                   # JWT audience claim
  auto_create_admin: true                # Create admin on startup
  admin_email: "[e-mail]"        # Default admin email
  admin_password: "admin"                # Default admin password

database:
  url: "sqlite+aiosqlite:///auth.db"     # Database URL
  echo: false                            # SQL logging

auth_client:
  enabled: true                          # Enable auth middleware
  issuer: "http://localhost:8100"        # Must match auth.issuer
  audience: "pico-bot"                   # Must match auth.audience

fastapi:
  title: "Pico Auth API"
  version: "0.1.0"

Environment variable override example:

AUTH_ISSUER=https://auth.myapp.com AUTH_ADMIN_PASSWORD=strong-password python -m pico_auth.main
