SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Master authentication and authorization pitfalls by providing a consolidated set of patterns (JWT, OAuth2, session management, RBAC) to build secure, scalable access control systems for APIs and services. It helps teams implement robust auth flows, secure APIs, and consistent authorization strategies across applications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • JWT-based authentication with token management and rotation
  • OAuth2 / OpenID Connect integration and social login patterns
  • Session-based authentication with secure cookie handling and CSRF considerations
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and permission-based access controls
  • Security best practices guidance and threat modeling for auth systems

Quick Start

Configure JWT-based authentication and RBAC for your API and integrate OAuth2 as needed.

FAQPage Schema
How does OAuth2 integration compare to session-based authentication for microservices architectures?

OAuth2 and OpenID Connect integration handles social login and token delegation, while session-based authentication provides a secure fallback using cookie handling and CSRF considerations for your APIs.

How do I manage secure credentials and token rotation in a microservices architecture?

Yes, you can use these authentication patterns for multi-tenant applications. They are specifically designed to authenticate and authorize users in scalable systems, ensuring consistent authorization strategies across multi-tenant contexts.

When should I use session-based authentication instead of JWT for my GraphQL API?

To manage secure credentials and token rotation in a microservices architecture, apply the specified JWT and OAuth2 token handling patterns alongside security best practices and threat modeling for robust auth flows.

What security best practices should I follow for access control in scalable systems?

You should use session-based authentication instead of JWT for your GraphQL API when you need secure cookie handling and CSRF considerations, utilizing it as a fallback to stateless JWT token management.

What security best practices should I follow for access control in scalable systems?

Security best practices for access control in scalable systems include applying RBAC and permission checks, consistent authorization strategies, and threat modeling to build secure APIs and robust auth flows.
