Axum Session Auth

Library to Provide a User Authentication and privilege Token Checks. It requires the Axum_Session library. This library will help by making it so User ID or authorizations are not stored on the Client side but rather on the Server side. The Authorization is linked by the Clients Serverside Session ID which is stored on the Client side. Formally known as Axum Sessions Auth

https://crates.io/crates/axum_session_auth Docs

  • Wraps axum_session for data management serverside.
  • Right Management API
  • Auto load of user Data upon Page loads.
  • User Data cache to Avoid Repeated Database calls when not needed.

Install

Sessions Authentication uses tokio runtime and ['axum_session'];

# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
# Postgres + rustls
axum_session_auth = { version = "0.14.0" }
axum_session_sqlx = { version = "0.3.0" }

Cargo Feature Flags

Features Description
advanced Enable functions allowing more direct control over the sessions.
rest_mode Disables Cookie Handlering In place of Header only usage for Rest API Requests and Responses.
key-store Enabled the optional key storage. Will increase ram usage based on Fastbloom settings.
Database Crate Persistent Description
axum_session_sqlx Yes Sqlx session store
axum_session_surreal Yes Surreal session store
axum_session_mongo Yes Mongo session store
axum_session_redispool Yes RedisPool session store

Example

use sqlx::{PgPool, ConnectOptions, postgres::{PgPoolOptions, PgConnectOptions}};
use std::net::SocketAddr;
use axum_session::{Session, SessionConfig, SessionLayer, DatabasePool};
use axum_session_auth::{AuthSession, AuthSessionLayer, Authentication, AuthConfig, HasPermission};

    Router,
    routing::get,
