# ungleich-otp
ungleich-otp is a full blown authentication and authorisation service
made for micro services.
The basic idea is that every micro service has a (long term) seed and
creates time based tokens (See python pyotp, RFC4226, RFC6238).
## Setup instructions ##
This is a standard django project and thus can be easily setup using
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
To bootstrap the application, you need your very first trusted seed to
access the application. You can generate it using
```
to be filled in
```
After that, you can run the application using
```
python manage.py runserver
```
The usual instructions on how to setup an https proxy should be followed.
## Realms ##
Access is granting/denied based on realms. There are two reserved
realms, all other realms can be used by the users:
### Reserved realms
Conceptually the realms "ungleich-admin" and "ungleich-auth" are
reserved for higher priviliged applications.
Usually there is only 1 entry in ungleich-admin that is used to
bootstrap and manage ungleich-otp.
All micro services that are trusted to authenticate another micro
service should have an entry in the ungleich-auth realm, which allows
them to verify a token of somebody else.
| Name | Capabilities |
|------------------+--------------------------------------------|
| ungleich-admin | authenticate, create, delete, list, update |
| ungleich-auth | authenticate |
| all other realms | NO ACCESS |
## Usage: REST ##
- Use an existing token to connect to the service
- All REST based messages: JSON
### POST: /ungleichotp/verify
Request JSON object:
```
{
version: "1",
name: "your-name",
realm: "your-realm",
token: "current time based token",
verifyname: "name that wants to be authenticated",
verifyrealm: "realm that wants to be authenticated",
verifytoken: "token that wants to be authenticated",
}
```
Response JSON object:
Either HTTP 200 with
```
{
status: "OK",
}
```
OR return code 403:
* If token for authenticating is wrong, you get
```
{"detail":"Incorrect authentication credentials."}
```
* If token that is being verified is wrong, you get
```
{"detail":"You do not have permission to perform this action."}
```
### GET, POST, ... /ungleichotp/
Standard django rest framework behaviour for updating / listing
objects.
## Usage: OTP
The seeds that you receive can be used for TOTP to authenticate your
apps.
## Database
The database saves a list of appuuids with their seeds and the user
assignments as well as whether the appuuid might use the BUS interface.
Fields:
- appuuid (a random UUID)
- appname (name chosen by the user)
- username (who this appuuid belongs to)
- seed (a random base32 string)
- trusted (boolean, whether app is allowed to use the BUS and the
verify method)
## Environment / Configuration
- POSTGRES_USERNAME
- SECRET_KEY -- random
## Random notes / stuff
django.db.backends.postgresql
django.contrib.admin
```
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
'NAME': 'mydatabase',
'USER': 'mydatabaseuser',
'PASSWORD': 'mypassword',
'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
'PORT': '5432',
}
}
```
Custom auth
```
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from rest_framework import authentication
from rest_framework import exceptions
class ExampleAuthentication(authentication.BaseAuthentication):
def authenticate(self, request):
username = request.META.get('X_USERNAME')
if not username:
return None
try:
user = User.objects.get(username=username)
except User.DoesNotExist:
raise exceptions.AuthenticationFailed('No such user')
return (user, None)
```
Custom user
Dont forget to point AUTH_USER_MODEL to it. Do this before creating any migrations or running manage.py migrate for the first time.
## TODOs
- [x] serialize / input request
- [x] Make seed read only
- [x] Implement registering of new entries
- [x] OTPSerializer: allow to read seed for admin
- [x] Implement deleting entry
- [x] Include verify in ModelSerializer
- [ ] Remove hard coded JSON (?)
- [ ] Use Custom authentication (?) - needs to have a user
- [ ] Maybe we map name+realm == User (?)
- name == name@realm
- no password
- seed
- custom auth method
- [ ] Implement creating new "User"
- by POST / Model based
- [ ] move totp constants into settings
- [ ] move field lengths into settings
- [ ] make settings adjustable by environment (?)
