Identity management for Actix Web.
`actix-identity` can be used to track identity of a user across multiple requests. It is built on top of HTTP sessions, via [`actix-session`](https://docs.rs/actix-session).
## Getting started
To start using identity management in your Actix Web application you must register [`IdentityMiddleware`] and `SessionMiddleware` as middleware on your `App`:
```rust
use actix_web::{cookie::Key, App, HttpServer, HttpResponse};
use actix_identity::IdentityMiddleware;
use actix_session::{storage::RedisSessionStore, SessionMiddleware};
#[actix_web::main]
async fn main() {
// When using `Key::generate()` it is important to initialize outside of the
// `HttpServer::new` closure. When deployed the secret key should be read from a
// configuration file or environment variables.
let secret_key = Key::generate();
let redis_store = RedisSessionStore::new("redis://127.0.0.1:6379")
.await
.unwrap();
HttpServer::new(move || {
App::new()
// Install the identity framework first.
.wrap(IdentityMiddleware::default())
// The identity system is built on top of sessions. You must install the session
// middleware to leverage `actix-identity`. The session middleware must be mounted
// AFTER the identity middleware: `actix-web` invokes middleware in the OPPOSITE
// order of registration when it receives an incoming request.
.wrap(SessionMiddleware::new(
redis_store.clone(),
secret_key.clone(),
))
// Your request handlers [...]
})
}
```
User identities can be created, accessed and destroyed using the [`Identity`] extractor in your request handlers:
```rust
use actix_web::{get, post, HttpResponse, Responder, HttpRequest, HttpMessage};
use actix_identity::Identity;
use actix_session::storage::RedisSessionStore;
#[get("/")]
async fn index(user: Option<Identity>) -> impl Responder {
if let Some(user) = user {
format!("Welcome! {}", user.id().unwrap())
} else {
"Welcome Anonymous!".to_owned()
}
}
#[post("/login")]
async fn login(request: HttpRequest) -> impl Responder {
// Some kind of authentication should happen here
// e.g. password-based, biometric, etc.
// [...]
// attach a verified user identity to the active session
Identity::login(&request.extensions(), "User1".into()).unwrap();
HttpResponse::Ok()
}
#[post("/logout")]
async fn logout(user: Identity) -> impl Responder {
user.logout();
HttpResponse::Ok()
}
```
## Advanced configuration
By default, `actix-identity` does not automatically log out users. You can change this behaviour by customising the configuration for [`IdentityMiddleware`] via [`IdentityMiddleware::builder`].
In particular, you can automatically log out users who:
- have been inactive for a while (see [`IdentityMiddlewareBuilder::visit_deadline`]);
- logged in too long ago (see [`IdentityMiddlewareBuilder::login_deadline`]).
[`IdentityMiddlewareBuilder::visit_deadline`]: config::IdentityMiddlewareBuilder::visit_deadline
[`IdentityMiddlewareBuilder::login_deadline`]: config::IdentityMiddlewareBuilder::login_deadline
