## What This PR fixes some broken links that have been hanging around in the docs for what seems like a very long time. ## Why As discovered by the link check in #1912, there are a fair few broken links in the docs. Everyone hates broken links because it makes it harder to understand what they were supposed to be pointing at. ## How There are 3 types of links that have been fixed: - Links that should have been internal but were absolute. E.g. `https://docs.getunleash.io/path/article` that should have been `./article.md` - External links that have changed, such as Slack's API description - GitHub links to files that either no longer exist or that have been moved. These links generally pointed to `master`/`main`, meaning they are subject to change. They have been replaced with permalinks pointing to specific commits. ----- * docs: fix slack api doc link * docs: update links in migration guide * docs: fix broken link to ancient feature schema validation * docs: update links to v3 auth hooks * docs: update broken link in the go sdk article * Fix: use permalink for GitHub link * docs: fix wrong google auth link

title: Securing Unleash v3
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
> This guide is only relevant if you are using Unleash Open-Source. The Enterprise edition does already ship with a secure setup and multiple SSO options.
|
|
|
|
The Unleash API is split into two different paths: `/api/client` and `/api/admin`. This makes it easy to have different authentication strategy for the admin interface and the client-api used by the applications integrating with Unleash.
|
|
|
|
## General settings {#general-settings}
|
|
|
|
Unleash uses an encrypted cookie to maintain a user session. This allows users to be logged in across multiple instances of Unleash. To protect this cookie, Unleash will automatically generate a secure token the first time you start Unleash.
|
|
|
|
## Securing the Admin API {#securing-the-admin-api}
|
|
|
|
To secure the Admin API, you have to tell Unleash that you are using a custom admin authentication and implement your authentication logic as a preHook.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
const unleash = require('unleash-server');
|
|
const myCustomAdminAuth = require('./auth-hook');
|
|
|
|
unleash
|
|
.start({
|
|
databaseUrl: 'postgres://unleash_user:passord@localhost:5432/unleash',
|
|
adminAuthentication: 'custom',
|
|
preRouterHook: myCustomAdminAuth,
|
|
})
|
|
.then((unleash) => {
|
|
console.log(
|
|
`Unleash started on http://localhost:${unleash.app.get('port')}`,
|
|
);
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Additionally, you can trigger the admin interface to prompt the user to sign in by configuring your middleware to return a `401` status on protected routes. The response body must contain a `message` and a `path` used to redirect the user to the proper login route.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"message": "You must be logged in to use Unleash",
|
|
"path": "/custom/login"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Examples of custom authentication hooks:
|
|
|
|
- [google-auth-hook.js](https://github.com/Unleash/unleash-examples/blob/7ed25f97a31dfd8f773c00847080b1a4c889fd87/v3/securing-google-auth/google-auth-hook.js)
|
|
- [basic-auth-hook.js](https://github.com/Unleash/unleash-examples/blob/7ed25f97a31dfd8f773c00847080b1a4c889fd87/v3/securing-basic-auth/basic-auth-hook.js)
|
|
- [keycloak-auth-hook.js](https://github.com/Unleash/unleash-examples/blob/7ed25f97a31dfd8f773c00847080b1a4c889fd87/v3/securing-keycloak-auth/keycloak-auth-hook.js)
|
|
|
|
We also have a version of Unleash deployed on Heroku which uses Google OAuth 2.0: https://secure-unleash.herokuapp.com

|
## Securing the Client API {#securing-the-client-api}
|
|
|
|
A common way to support client access is to use pre-shared secrets. This can be solved by having clients send a shared key in an HTTP header with every client request to the Unleash API. All official Unleash clients should support this.
|
|
|
|
In the [Java client](https://github.com/Unleash/unleash-client-java#custom-http-headers) this would look like this:
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
UnleashConfig unleashConfig = UnleashConfig.builder()
|
|
.appName("my-app")
|
|
.instanceId("my-instance-1")
|
|
.unleashAPI(unleashAPI)
|
|
.customHttpHeader("Authorization", "12312Random")
|
|
.build();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On the Unleash server side, you need to implement a preRouter hook which verifies that all calls to `/api/client` include this pre-shared key in the defined header. This could look something like this.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
const unleash = require('unleash-server');
|
|
const sharedSecret = '12312Random';
|
|
|
|
unleash
|
|
.start({
|
|
databaseUrl: 'postgres://unleash_user:passord@localhost:5432/unleash',
|
|
preRouterHook: (app) => {
|
|
app.use('/api/client', (req, res, next) => {
|
|
if (req.header('authorization') !== sharedSecret) {
|
|
res.sendStatus(401);
|
|
} else {
|
|
next();
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
},
|
|
})
|
|
.then((unleash) => {
|
|
console.log(
|
|
`Unleash started on http://localhost:${unleash.app.get('port')}`,
|
|
);
|
|
});
|
|
```
