### Tokens and signing in
`/config`, `/users` and `/groups` need a JWT in an `Authorization: Bearer` header, signed with
HS256 by the key `vpn-router-setup` makes on the router, `/etc/vpn-router/web.key` (root only).
The key never leaves the router; while it does not exist these paths and `/auth` are not served
(404). A missing, expired or wrongly signed token, or one of another algorithm, gets 401 with
`WWW-Authenticate: Bearer`. There are two kinds of tokens:
- an access token of `/auth` names a user in `sub` and is valid for 5 minutes; the user must
be a member of the group `admins`, otherwise the request gets 403;
- a token of `vpn-router-token`, run as root on the router, has the claim `admin` and is valid
for the lifetime given, without a maximum. It may call everything, and only such a token may
change the group `admins`: create it, rename a group to it, change or remove it, add or take
out its members, or remove a user who is a member of it.
The first member of `admins` is added on the router:
```sh
vpn-router-group add admins --member alice --description 'Router administrators'
vpn-router-token --hours 1
vpn-router-token --json --days 30
```
`POST /auth` signs a user in. Request and answer bodies are JSON:
| Request | Body | Answer |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `POST /auth` | `{"name", "password", "code"}`; `code` only for a user enrolled for TOTP | the tokens |
| `POST /auth/refresh` | `{"refresh_token"}` | new tokens; the refresh token given is used up |
| `POST /auth/logout` | `{"refresh_token"}` | `{"revoked": true}`, or `false` for a token not known |
The tokens are `{"access_token", "token_type": "Bearer", "expires_in": 300, "refresh_token",
"refresh_expires_in": 28800}`. A wrong name, password or code, and a locked or disabled user,
get 401 with the same message; a refresh token is refused once its user is disabled, locked or
removed. Changing a user's password, disabling, unlocking or removing the user revokes the
user's refresh tokens. Five failed logins lock the account for 15 minutes (see the user
directory). `/auth` and `/auth/refresh` take at most 10 calls a minute from one client address,
and answer 429 with `Retry-After` beyond that; for a call from one of `web.trusted_proxies`, by
default the address the service listens on, the client address is the last entry of
`X-Forwarded-For`.
Refresh tokens are kept, as their SHA-256, in PostgreSQL: by default in the database and role
`vpn-router` on the router, which `vpn-router-setup` creates with a password in
`/etc/vpn-router/database.secret` (root only), reached over TCP on `localhost`; `web.database`
names another database. Tokens and passwords travel over plain HTTP on the internal network.
```bash
curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"name": "alice", "password": "s3cr3t-pass", "code": "123456"}' \
http://10.0.0.4:7081/auth
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" http://10.0.0.4:7081/config
```
### The /config page
`/config` shows what `/` and `/status` leave out, for a client such as manage-ui:
| Key | Content |
| --- | --- |
| `configuration` | `vpn-router.json` with the defaults applied, without its secret options (`psk`, `jwt_secret`, and any option named like a password, token or key) |
| `configuration` | `vpn-router.json` with the defaults applied, without its secret options (`psk`, `database`, and any option named like a secret, password, token or key) |
| `network` | The external and internal interface, their addresses, the internal gateway, the local and remote IKE identities and subnets, and the IPv4 routes as `ip -j -4 route` prints them |
| `ipsec` | `connections` and `sas`: one object per connection and per IKE SA, read from `swanctl --list-conns --pretty` and `swanctl --list-sas --pretty`, with the connection's name under `name` and swanctl's keys and string values |
| `wireguard` | The public key and port of `wg0`, and each peer's public key, endpoint, allowed IPs, handshake age and traffic; no private or preshared key |
| `docker` | `docker.exposed_ports` and the rules of the `VPN-ROUTER-DOCKER` chain |
The page needs a JWT in an `Authorization: Bearer` header, signed with HS256 by `web.jwt_secret`.
The token must have an `exp` claim, not more than ten minutes from now (a minute of clock
difference is allowed); `nbf` is checked when present. Other algorithms are refused, with 401 and
`WWW-Authenticate: Bearer`. While `web.jwt_secret` is not set the page is not served (404). The
token and the page travel over plain HTTP on the internal network, and the token can be used
until it expires, so keep the lifetime short. A client makes a token from the secret with only
HMAC-SHA256; with Python:
```python
import base64, hashlib, hmac, json, time
def b64(data):
return base64.urlsafe_b64encode(data).rstrip(b'=').decode()
secret = 'the web.jwt_secret value'
head = b64(json.dumps({'alg': 'HS256', 'typ': 'JWT'}).encode())
body = b64(json.dumps({'exp': int(time.time()) + 300}).encode())
sign = b64(hmac.new(secret.encode(), f'{head}.{body}'.encode(), hashlib.sha256).digest())
print(f'{head}.{body}.{sign}')
```
```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" http://10.0.0.4:7081/config
```
