## Architecture Highlights
|
||||
|
||||
### Hybrid Cache Design
|
||||
- **Memory cache** for O(1) microsecond lookups (typical path)
|
||||
- **PostgreSQL backend** for persistence and multi-instance support
|
||||
- **Write-through pattern** ensures consistency
|
||||
- **Automatic cache refresh** on startup
|
||||
- **Optional sync** for distributed deployments
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Features
|
||||
- ✅ Cryptographically secure random key generation (32 bytes)
|
||||
- ✅ Key format: `nk_` prefix + 256-bit entropy
|
||||
- ✅ Full key shown only once at creation
|
||||
- ✅ Partial key display (last 4 chars) in listings
|
||||
- ✅ Role-based access control (admin role required for management)
|
||||
- ✅ Rate limiting per key (configurable requests/minute)
|
||||
- ✅ Optional expiration dates
|
||||
- ✅ Key deactivation without deletion
|
||||
- ✅ Complete audit trail (creation, revocation, usage)
|
||||
|
||||
### Database Schema
|
||||
- **api_keys table**: Stores key metadata with indexes
|
||||
- **api_key_audit_log table**: Tracks all operations
|
||||
- **Auto-created**: Schema creation on first connection
|
||||
- **Migration-free**: Idempotent table creation
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration Steps
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Update Dependencies
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
go get github.com/lib/pq
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Update Configuration Struct
|
||||
Add to `internal/config/config.go`:
|
||||
```go
|
||||
type AuthConfig struct {
|
||||
Enabled bool
|
||||
DefaultRateLimit int
|
||||
Database struct {
|
||||
URL string
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
type BootstrapConfig struct {
|
||||
Enabled bool
|
||||
AdminKeyFile string
|
||||
PrintToStdout bool
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Initialize in Server
|
||||
Add to `cmd/server/main.go`:
|
||||
```go
|
||||
if cfg.Auth.Enabled && cfg.Auth.Database.URL != "" {
|
||||
dbStore, _ := auth.NewKeyStoreDB(cfg.Auth.Database.URL)
|
||||
cache := auth.NewAPIKeyStore()
|
||||
keyStore = auth.NewHybridKeyStore(cache, dbStore)
|
||||
keyStore.InitializeFromDatabase(ctx)
|
||||
|
||||
if cfg.Bootstrap.Enabled {
|
||||
auth.BootstrapAdminKey(ctx, keyStore, &auth.BootstrapConfig{...}, logger)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Register Endpoints
|
||||
Add to router setup:
|
||||
```go
|
||||
if keyStore != nil {
|
||||
h := rest.NewKeyManagementHandler(keyStore, logger)
|
||||
v1.POST("/admin/keys", h.CreateKey)
|
||||
v1.GET("/admin/keys", h.ListKeys)
|
||||
v1.DELETE("/admin/keys/:key", h.RevokeKey)
|
||||
v1.GET("/admin/keys/:key/audit", h.GetAuditLog)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Update Middleware
|
||||
Modify `rest_middleware.go` to use HybridKeyStore instead of plain APIKeyStore
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
### Bootstrap (One-time Setup)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export NOTIFIER_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_KEY=true
|
||||
export NOTIFIER_AUTH_ENABLED=true
|
||||
export NOTIFIER_AUTH_DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:pass@db:5432/notifier"
|
||||
./notifier serve
|
||||
# Captures output to get admin key
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Create Service Keys
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/keys \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_KEY" \
|
||||
-d '{
|
||||
"client_id": "my-app",
|
||||
"roles": ["notify-email"],
|
||||
"rate_limit": 1000
|
||||
}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### List Keys
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/keys \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Revoke Keys
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/keys/nk_xxx \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_KEY"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

## Security Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ Keys generated using crypto/rand (cryptographically secure)
|
||||
- ✅ Full key only displayed once at creation
|
||||
- ✅ Partial key (last 4 chars) shown in listings
|
||||
- ✅ Rate limiting enforced per key
|
||||
- ✅ Key expiration supported
|
||||
- ✅ Key revocation (soft delete, not hard delete)
|
||||
- ✅ Audit trail complete
|
||||
- ✅ Admin role required for key management
|
||||
- ✅ All operations logged
|
||||
- ✅ TLS recommended for key transmission
|
||||
- ✅ Database access control recommended
|
||||
- ✅ Secrets management recommended (Vault, K8s Secrets)
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Targets
|
||||
|
||||
| Operation | Target | Notes |
|
||||
|-----------|--------|-------|
|
||||
| Cache hit lookup | <100ns | In-memory O(1) |
|
||||
| Database hit | <10ms | Network latency dependent |
|
||||
| Key creation | <50ms | Database write + cache update |
|
||||
| Rate limit check | <100ns | In-memory counter |
|
||||
| Audit log query | <100ms | Database scan |
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Cache misses in distributed setups**: Multiple instances don't immediately sync when keys are created on another instance. Solution: Use `SyncCache()` periodically or implement cache invalidation messaging.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **No key rotation grace period**: Old key immediately stops working when revoked. Could add grace period (e.g., 7 days) where both keys work.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **No key patterns/scoping**: Keys grant access to entire notifier types. Could add scoping (e.g., specific email addresses or Slack channels).
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Basic audit**: Stores action + timestamp. Could add more detailed context (IP address, user agent, request details).
|
||||
|
||||
## Future Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Automated key rotation**: Rotate keys on fixed schedule
|
||||
2. **Key scoping**: Restrict keys to specific recipients/channels
|
||||
3. **Bulk operations**: Batch revoke/update multiple keys
|
||||
4. **Web dashboard**: UI for key management
|
||||
5. **Advanced audit**: Elasticsearch integration, alerts
|
||||
6. **mTLS support**: Certificate-based authentication
|
||||
7. **OIDC integration**: OpenID Connect for enterprise
|
||||
8. **Service accounts**: JWT-based service-to-service auth
|
||||
|
||||
