QUESTION
I am trying to use next-firebase-auth package to manage authentication in my next js app. Before messing around, I wanted to run the example. However, I could not find proper explanation for the fields required in the .env file.
Could you please explain what should be the values of following fields in local.env file here
- COOKIE_SECRET_CURRENT
- COOKIE_SECRET_PREVIOUS
- NEXT_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_PUBLIC_API_KEY
The last one I guess is the Web API key shown on the config page. Not sure, please confirm.

I need to get token to connect to API. Tried with python this:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jun-12 at 17:16First note that a token must be obtained from the server ! A token is required to make some API calls due to security concerns. There are usually at least two types of tokens:
- Access token: You use it to make API calls (as in the Authorization header above). But this token usually expires after a short period of time.
- Refresh token: Use this token to refresh the access token after it has expired.
You should use requests-oauthlib in addition with requests.
https://pypi.org/project/requests-oauthlib/
But first, read the available token acquisition workflows:
https://requests-oauthlib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oauth2_workflow.html#available-workflows
and choose the right workflow that suits your purposes. (The most frequently used is Web App workflow)
Then, implement the workflow in your code to obtain the token. Once a valid token is obtained you can use it to make various API calls.
As a side note: be sure to refresh token if required.
QUESTION
How can we pass additional data to Client application from Identity Server 4 in response after successful authentication?
We are using Identity Server 4 as an Auth server for our application to have user authentication and SSO feature. User information is stored and is getting authenticated by an external service. IDS calls the external service for user authentication. On successful authentication, the service returns the response back to IDS with 2 parameters:
- Authorization code
- Additional information (a collection of attributes) for the user.
IDS further generates Id token and returns response back to MVC client with standard user claims. I want to pass the additional user information(attributes) to client application to display it on page. We tried adding the attributes as claims collection through context.IssuedClaims option but still I am not getting those attributes added and accessible to User.Claims collection in MVC client app.
Can anyone suggest an alternative way by which we can pass those custom attributes to client app. either through claims or any other mode (httpcontext.Items collection etc)
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jun-15 at 19:18Only some user claims provided by the IDS will be passed into the User.claims collection. You need to explicitly map those additional claims in the client application, using code like:
QUESTION
So I initialized CAS using cas-initializr with the following command inside the cas folder:
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jun-15 at 18:37Starting with 6.4 RC5 (which is the version you run as of this writing and should provide this in your original post):
The collection of thymeleaf user interface template pages are no longer found in the context root of the web application resources. Instead, they are organized and grouped into logical folders for each feature category. For example, the pages that deal with login or logout functionality can now be found inside login or logout directories. The page names themselves remain unchecked. You should always cross-check the template locations with the CAS WAR Overlay and use the tooling provided by the build to locate or fetch the templates from the CAS web application context.
https://apereo.github.io/cas/development/release_notes/RC5.html#thymeleaf-user-interface-pages
Please read the release notes and adjust your setup.

QUESTION
I'm working on a Chrome extension that integrates with a website. My users can do actions on this website when they are logged in to it.
I have a Socket.IO server that delivers commands to my Chrome extension. Once a command arrived, the extension invokes a local function from the host website. Then, the host website, which has an authenticated active session with its own API, will invoke some update/insert call.
I recently realized a potential security issue, which is - if anyone spoofs my server address on my extension clients organization, he can easily abuse it to send his own parameters on behalf of my server (image 2).
Is there any smart way to ensure my client communicates with the real server and not an imposter?
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jun-15 at 16:49Use HTTPS secured connection.
This is one of the features of HTTPS (SSL/TLS) - it can prevent a MITM attack and prevent the destination server from being impersonated.

Answered 2021-Jun-15 at 15:18Please enable the quarkus-smallrye-jwt TRACE logging to see why the tokens are rejected.
And indeed, as you have also found out, https protocol needs to be enabled in the native image, which can be done, as you have shown :-), by adding --enable-url-protocols=https to the native profile's properties in pom.xml.
This PR will ensure adding it manually won't be required.

QUESTION
I want to use firebase auth for my android and ios applications with custom backend. So I need some way of authentication for api calls from mobile apps to the backend.
I was able to find following guide in firebase documentation which suggests to sent firebase id token to my backend and validate it there with firebase Admin SDK. https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/admin/verify-id-tokens
But this approach does not seem to be a security best practice. For example here https://auth0.com/blog/why-should-use-accesstokens-to-secure-an-api/ it is said that for API access one should use access tokens rather than id tokens.
Are there any good pattern for using firebase auth with my backend?
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jun-15 at 15:02firebaser here
Firebase itself passes the ID token with each request, and then uses that on the server to identify the user and to determine whether they're authorized to perform the operation. This is a common (I'd even say idiomatic) approach to authentication and authorization, and if there's a security risk that you've identified in it, we'd love to hear about it on https://www.google.com/about/appsecurity/
From reading the blog post it seems the author is making a distinction between authentication (the user proving their identify) and authorization (them getting access to certain resources based on that identity), but it'd probably be best to ask the author for more information on why that would preclude passing an ID token to identify the user.
QUESTION
I'm using express-validator to find out if certain user inputs match specific keywords. If any of the inputs are invalid, a POST request to my db should not be made. If all of the inputs pass, then the POST should go through. The user should be re-directed to a /submitted view when the inputs are valid or invalid.
When none of the inputs are valid, the POST is not made and the db is not updated (which is good, since I don't want the db to have invalid data), but the issue is that the page hangs and never reloads (has to be done manually).
I have an if/else statement below that says what should be done if the data is invalid. The console says that applicant.end() and res.end() are not functions. Is there something else that I can write that'll "stop" the request but do the redirect?

QUESTION
I have bunch of GRPC microservices and they are using self signed certs. I add authentication info to the GRPC channel which is then used to identify endpoints and provide right services.
Now I want migrate to Istio mTLS.
In phase one, I got Istio to BYPASS all GRPC connections and my services works as it is now.
In Phase two, I want to hand off TLS to Istio, but I am stuck on how to pass the authentication information to GRPC?
How do you handle auth in Istio mTLS setup?
GRPC can support other authentication mechanisms Has anyone used this to inject Istio auth info to GRPC? any other suggestions on how you implemented this in your setup
I am using go-lang just in case if this can be useful to provide any additional information.
Thanks
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jun-11 at 09:21One way of doing this is using grpc.WithInsecure(), this way you don't have to add certificates to your services, since istio-proxy containers in your pods will TLS terminate any incoming connections.
