cmd/authd — multi-tenant auth IdP (port 8804)
In-house JWT issuer + refresh-token store for the M13 admin UI. No
third-party auth, no SSO (deferred to v2). The only thing the rest
of the system needs to know is: "send a Bearer <access_token> and
I'll know who you are".

POST |
/v1/auth/login |
— |
email+password → {access_token, refresh_token, ...} |
POST |

— |
refresh_token → new pair (rotates, kills family on re-use) |
POST |
/v1/auth/logout |
— |
refresh_token → revoked (idempotent) |
POST |
/v1/auth/magic |
— |
magic_token + new_password → password set, user active |
POST |
/v1/users/invite |
bearer (admin) |
tenant_slug + email + role → new pending user + magic token |

dev → allows generated secret, JSON logs. prod → requires BA_AUTHD_JWT_SECRET. |
First-run setup
# 1. Apply migration
go run ./cmd/seed
# 2. Generate a JWT secret (≥32 bytes of randomness)
openssl rand -base64 48
# → store in K8s sealed-secret, mount as BA_AUTHD_JWT_SECRET
# 3. Create the first super_admin (psql fallback per M13 decision 2.4)
psql -c "INSERT INTO auth.tenants (...) VALUES (...);"
psql -c "INSERT INTO auth.users (tenant_id, email, role, status, password_hash) \
VALUES (NULL, 'you@broad-announce.net', 'super_admin', 'active', \
'\$2a\$12\$...bcrypt-hash...');"
# 4. Run
go run ./cmd/authd
Smoke test
# Login
RESP=$(curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8804/v1/auth/login \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"email":"you@broad-announce.net","password":"your-password"}')
ACCESS=$(echo "$RESP" | jq -r .access_token)
REFRESH=$(echo "$RESP" | jq -r .refresh_token)
# /me
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS" http://localhost:8804/v1/users/me
# Refresh
curl -X POST http://localhost:8804/v1/auth/refresh \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d "{\"refresh_token\":\"$REFRESH\"}"
# Re-use the OLD refresh — should be session_killed
curl -X POST http://localhost:8804/v1/auth/refresh \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d "{\"refresh_token\":\"$REFRESH\"}"
# → {"error":"session_killed","message":"refresh token re-use detected, please log in again"}
Security model
- Access JWTs are HS256, signed with the shared secret. The
verifier (
authd.VerifyAccessToken) rejects any non-HMAC alg
(the classic alg=none and RS256-confused-as-HS256 attacks).
- Refresh tokens are 32 bytes of
crypto/rand → 64 hex chars.
Stored in Postgres as digest(token, 'sha256'). The plaintext
is in the httpOnly cookie / mobile secure storage, never in
Postgres.
- Rotation on every refresh. Re-use of a rotated token kills
the entire family (re-use-detection is in the SQL function).
- Audit log records every login, logout, refresh, invite, magic
consume. The actor's IP and user-agent are captured for forensics.
- bcrypt with cost 12 (≈250ms on modern CPU). Adjustable via
BA_AUTHD_BCRYPT_COST for tests.
What is NOT here (deferred)
- JWKS, RS256, key rotation: v1 ships HS256 with a single shared
secret. Multi-instance requires moving the secret to a real KMS
(v2).
- SSO / OAuth2 / MFA / password reset email: v2.
- Rate limiting on
/v1/auth/login (brute-force protection): v1.1.
For now, the network-level limits in front of authd are the
only protection.
- Per-tenant rate limits on
/v1/users/invite: v1.1.
Tests
# Unit tests (no DB)
go test ./internal/authd/
# Integration tests (Postgres required)
TEST_AUTH_DSN=postgres://postgres:testing@127.0.0.1:5432/test_auth?sslmode=disable \
go test -tags=postgres ./internal/authd/
The integration tests cover login → refresh → re-use-detection
→ logout end-to-end. The auth schema is created from
migrations/009_auth.up.sql if not present, and truncated between
tests.
