I implemented google sign-in in my application like so:
fun Application.module(testing: Boolean = false) {
install(CallLogging)
install(ContentNegotiation) {
gson {
setPrettyPrinting()
}
}
val jwtIssuer = environment.config.property("jwt.domain").getString()
val jwtAudience = environment.config.property("jwt.audience").getString()
val jwtRealm = environment.config.property("jwt.realm").getString()
val jwkProvider = JwkProviderBuilder(URL("https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/certs"))
.cached(10, 24, TimeUnit.HOURS)
.rateLimited(10, 1, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
.build()
install(Authentication) {
jwt {
verifier(jwkProvider) {
withIssuer(jwtIssuer)
withAudience(jwtAudience)
}
realm = jwtRealm
validate { credentials ->
if (credentials.payload.audience.contains(jwtAudience))
JWTPrincipal(credentials.payload)
else
null
}
}
}
routing {
authenticate {
post("/token-sign-in") {
val payload = call.principal<JWTPrincipal>()?.payload ?: error("JWTPrincipal not found")
call.respond(
UserWire(
id = payload.subject,
email = payload.getClaim("email").asString(),
name = payload.getClaim("name").asString(),
profilePictureUrl = payload.getClaim("picture").asString()
)
)
}
}
}
}
I want to authenticate the user every single time they access one of the routes, but I want to have both google and firebase-auth login as an option. The thing is that they require different methods to check the authenticity of the given token, hence I need two authentication methods.
I was thinking of including an "AuthenticationProvider: "Google|Firebase"" in the header of the call, and according to its value, I would decide which authentication method should be called.
So something like this:
fun Application.module(testing: Boolean = false) {
install(Authentication) {
jwt("google") {
// verify google sign in token
}
jwt("firebase") {
// verify firebase token
}
firebaseOrGoogle("firebaseOrGoogle") {
// check header value for auth provider
// verify token with either "firebase" or "google" auth methods
}
}
routing {
authenticate("firebaseOrGoogle") {
post("/token-sign-in") {
// ...
}
get("/transactions") {
// ...
}
}
}
}
Is this at all possible? If this is possible please could you provide some code as to how to dynamically decide which authentication method should be called?
As an alternative solution, you can configure an authentication feature to try proving the identity of a user by both methods. The first successful check wins. To do that just pass those two configuration names to the authenticate
method:
routing {
authenticate("google", "firebase") {
post("/token-sign-in") {
// ...
}
get("/transactions") {
// ...
}
}
}
The order of arguments determines which check comes first.
