sag-py-auth 1.1.0

Keycloak authentication for python projects

sag_py_auth

This provides a way to secure your fastapi with keycloak jwt bearer authentication.

What it does

• Secure your api endpoints
• Verifies auth tokens: signature, expiration, issuer, audience
• Allows to set permissions by specifying roles and realm roles

How to use

Installation

pip install sag-py-auth

Secure your apis

First create the fast api dependency with the auth config:

from sag_py_auth.models import AuthConfig, TokenRole
from sag_py_auth.jwt_auth import JwtAuth
from fastapi import Depends

auth_config = AuthConfig("https://authserver.com/auth/realms/projectName", "myaudience")
required_roles = [TokenRole("clientname", "adminrole")]
required_realm_roles = ["additionalrealmrole"]
requires_admin = Depends(JwtAuth(auth_config, required_roles, required_realm_roles))

Afterwards you can use it in your route like that:

@app.post("/posts", dependencies=[requires_admin], tags=["posts"])
async def add_post(post: PostSchema) -> dict:

Or if you use sub routes, auth can also be enforced for the entire route like that:

router = APIRouter()
router.include_router(sub_router, tags=["my_api_tag"], prefix="/subroute",dependencies=[requires_admin])

Get user information

The Jwt call directly returns a token object that can be used to get additional information.

Furthermore you can access the context directly:

from sag_py_auth.auth_context import get_token as get_token_from_context
token = get_token_from_context()

This works in async calls but not in sub threads (without additional changes).

See:

• https://docs.python.org/3/library/contextvars.html
• https://kobybass.medium.com/python-contextvars-and-multithreading-faa33dbe953d

Methods available on the token object

• get_field_value: to get the value of a claim field (or an empty string if not present)
• get_roles: Gets the roles of a specific client
• has_role: Verify if a spcific client has a role
• get_realm_roles: Get the realm roles
• has_realm_role: Check if the user has a specific realm role

Log user data

It is possible to log the preferred_username and the azp value (party that created the token) of the token by adding a filter.

import logging
from sag_py_auth import UserNameLoggingFilter

console_handler = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
console_handler.addFilter(UserNameLoggingFilter())

The filter provides the following two fields as soon as the user is authenticated: user_name, authorized_party

How a token has to look like

{

    "iss": "https://authserver.com/auth/realms/projectName",
    "aud": ["audienceOne", "audienceTwo"],
    "typ": "Bearer",
    "azp": "public-project-swagger",
    "preferred_username": "preferredUsernameValue",
    .....
    "realm_access": {
        "roles": ["myRealmRoleOne"]
    },
    "resource_access": {
        "my-client-one": {
            "roles": ["a-permission-role", "user"]
        },
        "my-client-two": {
            "roles": ["a-permission-role", "admin"]
        }
    }
}

• realm_access contains the realm roles
• resource_access contains the token roles for one or multiple clients

How to start developing

With vscode

Just install vscode with dev containers extension. All required extensions and configurations are prepared automatically.

With pycharm

• Install latest pycharm
• Install pycharm plugin BlackConnect
• Install pycharm plugin Mypy
• Configure the python interpreter/venv
• pip install requirements-dev.txt
• pip install black[d]
• Ctl+Alt+S => Check Tools => BlackConnect => Trigger when saving changed files
• Ctl+Alt+S => Check Tools => BlackConnect => Trigger on code reformat
• Ctl+Alt+S => Click Tools => BlackConnect => "Load from pyproject.yaml" (ensure line length is 120)
• Ctl+Alt+S => Click Tools => BlackConnect => Configure path to the blackd.exe at the "local instance" config (e.g. C:\Python310\Scripts\blackd.exe)
• Ctl+Alt+S => Click Tools => Actions on save => Reformat code
• Restart pycharm

How to publish

• Update the version in setup.py and commit your change
• Create a tag with the same version number
• Let github do the rest
