GoAuth

GoAuth provides helper libraries for authentication in Go, with a focus on API services. It covers OAuth 2.0, JWT, TLS client authentication and Basic Auth. A primary goal is to be able to create a *http.Client from a single JSON application definition.

Major features include:

1. The base goauth package is designed to provide a single file format for handling configuration of all methods of authentication, including BasicAuth, OAuth 2.0, and JWT credentials. The primary use case is to have a single JSON definition of multiple applications for multiple services which can be used to generate token and API requests. It works with goauth/endpoints to add endpoints for known services.
2. Create *http.Client for multiple API services. Use NewClient() functions to create *http.Client structs for services not supported in oauth2 like aha, metabase, ringcentral, salesforce, visa, etc. Generating *http.Client structs is especially useful for using with Swagger Codegen auto-generated SDKs to support different auth models.
3. Create OAuth 2.0 authorization code token from the command line (for test purposes). No website is needed.
4. Retrieve canonical user information via helper libraries to retrieve canonical user information from services. The SCIM user schema is used for a canonical user model. This may be replaced/augmented by OIDC userinfo in the future.
5. Transparently handle OAuth 2 for multiple services, e.g. a website that supports Google and Facebook auth. This is demoed in github.com/grokify/beegoutil

Installation

$ go get github.com/grokify/goauth

Usage

Canonical User Information

ClientUtil structs satisfy the interface having SetClient() and GetSCIMUser() functions.

Google

import(
	"github.com/grokify/goauth/google"
)

// googleOAuth2HTTPClient is *http.Client from Golang OAuth2
googleClientUtil := google.NewClientUtil(googleOAuth2HTTPClient)
scimuser, err := googleClientUtil.GetSCIMUser()

Facebook

import(
	"github.com/grokify/goauth/facebook"
)

// fbOAuth2HTTPClient is *http.Client from Golang OAuth2
fbClientUtil := facebook.NewClientUtil(fbOAuth2HTTPClient)
scimuser, err := fbClientUtil.GetSCIMUser()

RingCentral

import(
	"github.com/grokify/goauth/ringcentral"
)

// rcOAuth2HTTPClient is *http.Client from Golang OAuth2
rcClientUtil := ringcentral.NewClientUtil(rcOAuth2HTTPClient)
scimuser, err := rcClientUtil.GetSCIMUser()

Test Redirect URL

This repo comes with a generic test OAuth 2 redirect page which can be used with headless (no-UI) apps. To use this test URL, configure the following URL to be your OAuth 2 redirect URI. This will write the Authorization Code in the HTMl which you can then copy and paste into your own app.

The URL is located here:

• https://grokify.github.io/goauth/oauth2callback/

Example App

See the following repo for a Beego-based demo app:
