Copy Code Example OpenResty Reverse Proxy Features This is an OpenResty (Nginx with Lua scripting capabilities) configuration for a reverse proxy that performs several advanced functions, including: HTTP to HTTPS redirection. SSL/TLS termination. Web Application Firewall (WAF) using ModSecurity. GeoIP-based routing: Directing users to different backend server pools based on their country. Custom Lua-based load balancing: Health checks for backend servers. Least connections algorithm (weighted) to select a backend. Custom logging including GeoIP data and selected backend. Let's break down each file and its components: nginx.conf (Main OpenResty Configuration) This file sets up the global Nginx/OpenResty environment. Copy Code worker_processes 1; worker_processes 1;: Configures Nginx to use a single worker process. For production, this is usually set to auto or the...

  JWT Structure The token is composed of three parts, separated by dots: eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ1c2VybmFtZSI6Im9wZW5zb3VyY2VqZWdhbkBnbWFpbC5jb20iLCJyb2xlcyI6WyJ1c2VyIl0sImV4cCI6MTczMzU3MzA2MX0.nxBknSlySJ0JQIFg5BpmnZhZV6VZ0Mshu7opFFgPLSc 1.

Validates email and password, checks if the email is allowed, hashes the password, stores user data in the database, and sends a welcome email. /api/enroll : Handles TOTP enrollment. Generates a TOTP secret, stores it, and returns a QR code for 2FA setup. /api/login : Handles user login. Validates credentials, checks account lock status, generates tokens, and sets them as cookies. /api/validate : Validates the access token and returns user information if valid. /api/token/refresh : Refreshes the access token using a valid refresh token. /api/update_role : Updates the role of a user. /api/logout : Logs out the user by revoking tokens and clearing cookies. /api/request_reset : Initiates a password reset by generating a reset token and sending it via email. /api/reset_password/ : Resets the user's password using a valid reset token.

Enhancing Flask SSO with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) Enhancing Flask SSO with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) To enhance your Single Sign-On (SSO) application with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), you need to implement a mechanism to assign roles to users and control access to different routes or resources based on those roles. Here's how you can do it step by step: 1. Extend the Database Schema You'll need to add a role column to the users table so that each user can be assigned a role, such as "admin," "user," or any other custom role. def init_db(): try: with sqlite3.connect('sso_service.db') as conn: c = conn.cursor() c.execute('''CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tokens (token TEXT PRIMARY KEY, username TEXT, token_type TEXT, expiration DATETIME)''') c.execute('''CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS totp_secrets (username TEXT ...
