Frameworks¶

Flask¶

Usage¶

To use iam-python-sdk on Flask frameworks, you have to init the iam-python-sdk Flask extensions:

from flask import Flask
from iam_python_sdk.flask import IAM

app = Flask(__name__)

app.config["IAM_BASE_URL"] = "<Base IAM URL>"
app.config["IAM_CLIENT_ID"] = "<Client ID>"
app.config["IAM_CLIENT_SECRET"] = "<Client Secret>"

iam = IAM(app)

Or you can init with Flask factory pattern:

from flask import Flask
from iam_python_sdk.flask import IAM

iam = IAM()

def create_app():
    app = Flask(__name__)

    app.config["IAM_BASE_URL"] = "<Base IAM URL>"
    app.config["IAM_CLIENT_ID"] = "<Client ID>"
    app.config["IAM_CLIENT_SECRET"] = "<Client Secret>"

    iam.init_app(app)

    return app

Then you can protect your endpoint with token_required decorator from unauthorized access:

@app.route('/protected')
@token_required(
    {"Action": 4, "Resource": "NAMESPACE:{namespace}:USER:{userId}"},
    {"{namespace}": "sample-namespace", "{userId}": "sample-userid"},
    csrf_protect=True
)
def get_protected_endpoint():
    return 'You have authorized access!'

By default, token_required decorator will check the access token on the Authorization header with Bearer type. You can customize these default configurations according to your service/apps needs:

app.config["IAM_TOKEN_LOCATIONS"] = ["headers", "cookies"]
app.config["IAM_TOKEN_HEADER_NAME"] = "Authorization"
app.config["IAM_TOKEN_HEADER_TYPE"] = "Bearer"
app.config["IAM_TOKEN_COOKIE_NAME"] = "access_token"
app.config["IAM_TOKEN_COOKIE_PATH"] = "/"
app.config["IAM_CSRF_PROTECTION"] = True
app.config["IAM_STRICT_REFERER"] = True

Note

This module has been tested with Flask default WSGI server for development. For production use, this module has been tested with Gunicorn and uWSGI. You can use Gunicorn with sync and gthread worker. Since this SDK use multithreading, please make sure you enable the thread support with –enable-threads options when you use uWSGI.

For more information about Flask deployment, please read more information here

CORS Options¶

This module support CORS options to set CORS header response. You can set the CORS headers with the cors_options decorator.

@app.route('/cors', methods=["GET", "POST"])
@cors_options({"Access-Control-Allow-Headers": ["Device-Id", "Device-Os", "Device-Type"]})
def get_cors_endpoint():
    return 'You access a CORS page!'

The sample response of this endpoint would be like:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2021 01:15:39 GMT
Server: Nginx
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, OPTIONS
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Device-Id, Device-Os, Device-Type
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
.......

Note

You can read more about CORS specification here

You can also set the default CORS headers for all endpoints with Flask application-wide config.

app.config["IAM_CORS_ENABLE"] = True
app.config["IAM_CORS_ORIGIN"] = "*"
app.config["IAM_CORS_HEADERS"] = "*"
app.config["IAM_CORS_METHODS"] = "*"
app.config["IAM_CORS_CREDENTIALS"] = True

Note

These default configs will be overridden by the decorator cors_options for specific endpoints.

FastAPI¶

Usage¶

To use iam-python-sdk on FastAPI frameworks, you have to init the iam-python-sdk when FastAPI app started:

from fastapi import FastAPI
from iam_python_sdk.fastapi import IAM, Settings

app = FastAPI()

@app.on_event("startup")
async def startup_event():
    config = Settings(
        iam_base_url="<Base IAM URL>",
        iam_client_id="<Client ID>",
        iam_client_secret="<Client Secret>",
    )
    app.state.iam = IAM(app, config)

Then you can protect your endpoint with permission_required dependency from unauthorized access:

from iam-python-sdk.fastapi import permission_required

@app.get('/protected', dependencies=[
    Depends(
        permission_required(
            {"resource": "ADMIN:NAMESPACE:{namespace}:CLIENT", "action": 2},
            {"{namespace}": "sdktest"},
            csrf_protect=True
        )
    )
])
def get_protected_endpoint():
    return 'You have authorized access!'

By default, permission_required dependency will check the access token on the Authorization header with Bearer type. You can customize these default configurations according to your service/apps needs:

settings.iam_base_url = ""
settings.iam_client_id = ""
settings.iam_client_secret = ""
settings.iam_token_locations = ["headers", "cookies"]
settings.iam_token_header_name = "Authorization"
settings.iam_token_header_type = "Bearer"
settings.iam_token_cookie_name = "access_token"
settings.iam_token_cookie_path = "/"
settings.iam_csrf_protection = True
settings.iam_strict_referer = True

Note

This module has been tested with FastAPI default uvicorn server for development. For production use, this module has been tested with Gunicorn. You can use Gunicorn with uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker class worker.

For more information about FastAPI deployment, please read more information here

CORS Middleware¶

This module support CORS middleware to set CORS header response. You can set the CORS headers with these settings.

settings.iam_cors_enable = False
settings.iam_cors_origin = "*"
settings.iam_cors_headers = "*"
settings.iam_cors_methods = "*"
settings.iam_cors_credentials = True

The sample response of this endpoint would be like:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2021 01:15:39 GMT
Server: Nginx
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, OPTIONS
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Device-Id, Device-Os, Device-Type
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
.......
