Goals: Production-ready β’ Enterprise-grade β’ Security-first β’ Bulletproof
Note: While the crates.io published version of this crate is fully functional and well documented on docs.rs, this repo's code may or may not be at the current time. We are in the middle of a lot of changes. Please wait for the dust to settle. We've just split the Python and JavaScript SDKs into separate repositories which broke a few things because they were tightly coupled and, although the Python SDK is more or less fixed, the JavaScript SDK still needs work (no one was using it so it is on the proverbial back burner because we need to get the parts companies use fixed first). We've just added support for 3rd party storage backends and haven't finished updating documentation for that. We are currently in the process of splitting the project from a monolithic Rust library into a separate server and client design and, while the library still works and the server is functional and all tests pass, the design is still in a state of flux and may not currently match the documentation. We are also in the process of changing how official releases from this project are made. When this project was built, it was primarily for use by myself, three companies, and a few friends' projects. It was built to high standards and worked flawlessly. However, as time went on, it became obvious that we needed to be able to support multiple versions of this project as a couple of the companies using it are more cautious than we expected about upgrading to new releases with breaking changes and still need fixes put in place for older versions until they are ready to make the jump. As such, when the next release happens, we will be splitting this repo into branches for each major version and continuing to provide bug fixes for older versions as we find them. We also decided we need to provide precompiled server releases. While there is nothing wrong with building the Rust code yourself, developers coding in other languages (using our Python and Javascript SDKs) should not need to build the Rust-based servers before being able to use this project in their language of choice. As such, we will be providing precompiled binaries starting with the next release.
Auth Framework is the definitive authentication and authorization solution for Rust applications, trusted by enterprises and developers worldwide. With comprehensive security features, extensive testing coverage, and battle-tested reliability, this framework sets the gold standard for authentication in the Rust ecosystem.

// Get a token from OAuth authentication
let token_response: OAuthTokenResponse = /* from OAuth flow */;
let provider = OAuthProvider::GitHub;
// Automatically convert token to user profile
let profile = token_response.to_profile(&provider).await?;
// Now you have access to standardized user data
println!("User ID: {}", profile.id.unwrap_or_default());

Auth-framework provides flexible configuration management using the config
crate, supporting multiple formats, environment variables, and modular organization.
- Configuration Files - TOML, YAML, JSON formats supported
- Environment Variables - Automatic mapping with customizable prefixes
- Command Line Arguments - CLI overrides using clap integration
- Include Directives - Modular configuration organization
# auth-framework.toml
[jwt]
secret_key = "${JWT_SECRET_KEY:development-secret}"
algorithm = "HS256"
expiry = "1h"
[session]
name = "AUTH_SESSION"
secure = true
domain = "myapp.com"
# Include method-specific configurations
include = [
"methods/oauth2.toml",
"methods/mfa.toml",
"methods/jwt.toml"
]
use auth_framework::config::{ConfigManager, AuthFrameworkConfigManager};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// Load configuration from files and environment
let config = AuthFrameworkConfigManager::builder()
.with_file("config/auth-framework.toml")
.with_env_prefix("AUTH") // Maps AUTH_JWT_SECRET_KEY etc.
.with_cli_args() // Command line overrides
.build()?;
// Use the configuration in your auth service
let auth_service = AuthService::new(config);
Ok(())
}
The framework automatically maps environment variables:
# JWT Configuration
export AUTH_JWT_SECRET_KEY="production-secret"
export AUTH_JWT_ALGORITHM="RS256"
export AUTH_JWT_EXPIRY="15m"
# OAuth2 Configuration
export AUTH_OAUTH2_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID="your-client-id"
export AUTH_OAUTH2_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET="your-secret"
# Session Configuration
export AUTH_SESSION_SECURE="true"
export AUTH_SESSION_DOMAIN="myapp.com"
Organize configuration into logical modules:
config/
βββ auth-framework.toml # Main configuration with includes
βββ threat-intel.toml # Threat intelligence settings
βββ session.toml # Session management configuration
βββ methods/ # Authentication method configs
βββ oauth2.toml # OAuth2 provider settings
βββ jwt.toml # JWT method configuration
βββ mfa.toml # Multi-factor authentication
βββ api_key.toml # API key authentication
Auth-framework configuration seamlessly integrates into larger application configs:
# your-app.toml
[app]
name = "MyApplication"
version = "1.0.0"
# Include auth-framework configuration
[auth]
include = ["auth-framework.toml"]
# Override specific auth settings
[auth.jwt]
secret_key = "production-secret"
issuer = "myapp.com"
For complete configuration documentation, see:
config/INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md
- Parent app integration patternsconfig/EXAMPLES.md
- Practical configuration examplesconfig/
directory - Example modular configuration files
- Secret Management: Never hardcode secrets. Use environment variables or secure vaults.
- Token Storage: Use secure storage backends in production (PostgreSQL recommended, Redis for sessions).
- HTTPS: Always use HTTPS in production to protect tokens in transit.
- Rate Limiting: Enable rate limiting to prevent brute force attacks.
- Token Expiration: Set appropriate token lifetimes based on your security requirements.
- Audit Logging: Enable comprehensive audit logging for security monitoring.
When using RSA keys for JWT signing and verification, the framework supports both standard PEM formats:
-
PKCS#1 Format (Traditional RSA format):
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-
PKCS#8 Format (Modern standard format, recommended):
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- -----END PRIVATE KEY-----
Both formats are automatically detected and work seamlessly with the TokenManager
:
use auth_framework::tokens::TokenManager;
// Load your RSA keys (either PKCS#1 or PKCS#8 format)
let private_key = std::fs::read("private.pem")?;
let public_key = std::fs::read("public.pem")?;
// Create token manager - format is auto-detected
let token_manager = TokenManager::new_rsa(
&private_key,
&public_key,
"your-issuer",
"your-audience"
)?;
Generate RSA keys in your preferred format:
# Generate PKCS#1 format (traditional)
openssl genrsa -out private.pem 2048
openssl rsa -in private.pem -pubout -out public.pem
# Generate PKCS#8 format (recommended)
openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -out private_pkcs8.pem -pkcs8
openssl pkey -in private_pkcs8.pem -pubout -out public_spki.pem
Note: No format conversion is required - the framework handles both formats automatically.

Testing Features:
MockAuthMethod
- Configurable mock authenticationMockStorage
- In-memory storage for testinghelpers::create_test_*
- Helper functions for test data- Configurable delays and failures for testing edge cases
- Comprehensive test coverage examples
The framework provides specific error types for better error handling:
use auth_framework::{AuthError, DeviceFlowError, OAuthProviderError};
async fn handle_auth_errors() {
// Device flow specific errors
match some_device_flow_operation().await {
Err(AuthError::DeviceFlow(DeviceFlowError::AuthorizationPending)) => {
println!("User hasn't completed authorization yet");
}
Err(AuthError::DeviceFlow(DeviceFlowError::SlowDown)) => {
println!("Polling too frequently, slowing down");
}
Err(AuthError::DeviceFlow(DeviceFlowError::ExpiredToken)) => {
println!("Device code expired, need to restart flow");
}
Err(AuthError::DeviceFlow(DeviceFlowError::AccessDenied)) => {
println!("User denied authorization");
}
_ => {}
}
// OAuth provider specific errors
match some_oauth_operation().await {
Err(AuthError::OAuthProvider(OAuthProviderError::InvalidAuthorizationCode)) => {
println!("Authorization code is invalid or expired");
}
Err(AuthError::OAuthProvider(OAuthProviderError::InsufficientScope { required, granted })) => {
println!("Insufficient permissions: need '{}', got '{}'", required, granted);
}
Err(AuthError::OAuthProvider(OAuthProviderError::RateLimited { message })) => {
println!("Rate limited by provider: {}", message);
}
_ => {}
}
// General auth errors
match some_auth_operation().await {
Err(AuthError::InvalidCredential { credential_type, message }) => {
println!("Invalid {}: {}", credential_type, message);
}
Err(AuthError::Timeout { timeout_seconds }) => {
println!("Operation timed out after {} seconds", timeout_seconds);
}
Err(AuthError::ProviderNotConfigured { provider }) => {
println!("Provider '{}' is not configured", provider);
}
_ => {}
}
}
OAuth providers are available for server-side implementations. See the server examples for complete provider usage:
use auth_framework::providers::{OAuthProvider, OAuthProviderConfig, UserProfile};
use std::collections::HashMap;
// Available providers for OAuth server implementations
let github_provider = OAuthProvider::GitHub;
let google_provider = OAuthProvider::Google;
let microsoft_provider = OAuthProvider::Microsoft;
// Custom provider configuration
let custom_provider = OAuthProvider::Custom {
name: "My Provider".to_string(),
config: OAuthProviderConfig {
authorization_url: "https://auth.example.com/authorize".to_string(),
token_url: "https://auth.example.com/token".to_string(),
device_authorization_url: Some("https://auth.example.com/device".to_string()),
userinfo_url: Some("https://auth.example.com/userinfo".to_string()),
revocation_url: Some("https://auth.example.com/revoke".to_string()),
default_scopes: vec!["read".to_string(), "profile".to_string()],
supports_pkce: true,
supports_refresh: true,
supports_device_flow: true,
additional_params: HashMap::new(),
},
};
// For complete OAuth server implementation examples, see:
// - examples/oauth2_authorization_server.rs
// - examples/complete_oauth2_server_axum.rs
The framework provides a standardized UserProfile
type that works across all providers:
use auth_framework::providers::UserProfile;
// Creating user profiles
let profile = UserProfile::new("user123", "github")
.with_name("John Doe")
.with_email("[email protected]")
.with_email_verified(true)
.with_picture("https://github.com/avatar.jpg")
.with_locale("en-US")
.with_additional_data("github_login".to_string(), serde_json::Value::String("johndoe".to_string()));
// Converting to your application's user type
#[derive(serde::Deserialize)]
struct AppUser {
id: String,
name: String,
email: String,
avatar_url: Option<String>,
}
impl From<UserProfile> for AppUser {
fn from(profile: UserProfile) -> Self {
Self {
id: profile.id,
name: profile.name.unwrap_or_default(),
email: profile.email.unwrap_or_default(),
avatar_url: profile.picture,
}
}
}
// Usage
let app_user: AppUser = user_profile.into();
Understanding the relationship between credentials and authentication methods:
use auth_framework::Credential;
// Password credentials -> PasswordMethod
let password_cred = Credential::password("username", "password");
// API key -> ApiKeyMethod
let api_key_cred = Credential::api_key("your_api_key_here");
// JWT token -> JwtMethod
let jwt_cred = Credential::jwt("jwt.token.string");
// OAuth flows are handled by the OAuth server implementation
// See server examples for complete OAuth credential handling
let device_cred = Credential::Custom {
method: "device_code".to_string(),
data: {
let mut data = HashMap::new();
data.insert("device_code".to_string(), "device_code_string".to_string());
data.insert("client_id".to_string(), "your_client_id".to_string());
data
}
};
// Multi-factor authentication
let mfa_cred = Credential::Mfa {
primary_credential: Box::new(password_cred),
mfa_code: "123456".to_string(),
challenge_id: "mfa_challenge_id".to_string(),
};
// Custom credentials for custom auth methods
let custom_cred = Credential::Custom {
method: "custom_auth".to_string(),
data: {
let mut data = HashMap::new();
data.insert("token".to_string(), "custom_token".to_string());
data.insert("signature".to_string(), "signature_string".to_string());
data
}
};
