Openmaize

Authentication library for Elixir

Upgrading to the newest version

There have been a few changes in the newest versions, 0.17 to 0.20. Please check the UPGRADE_0.20.md guide in this directory for details.

Goals

Openmaize is an authentication library that aims to be:

• secure
• lightweight
• easy to use
• well documented

It should work with any application that uses Plug, but it has only been tested with the Phoenix Web Framework.

Installation

1. Add openmaize to your mix.exs dependencies

defp deps do
  [ {:openmaize, "~> 1.0.0-beta.0"} ]
end

1. List :openmaize as an application dependency

def application do
  [applications: [:logger, :openmaize]]
end

1. Run mix do deps.get, compile

Use

Before you use Openmaize, you need to make sure that you have a module that implements the Openmaize.Database behaviour. If you are using Ecto, you can generate the necessary files by running the following command:

mix openmaize.gen.ectodb

You then need to configure Openmaize. For more information, see the documentation for the Openmaize.Config module.

It provides the following functionality:

Authentication

• Openmaize.Authenticate - plug to authenticate users, using JSON Web Tokens.
• Openmaize.Login - plug to handle login POST requests.
• Openmaize.Logout - plug to handle logout requests.

Email confirmation and password resetting

• Openmaize.ConfirmEmail - verify the token that was sent to the user by email.
• Openmaize.ResetPassword - verify the token that was sent to the user by email, but this time so that the user's password can be reset.

Generators to help you get started

See the relevant module documentation for more details.

Using with Phoenix

You can generate an example Authorize module and / or a Confirm module by running the command mix openmaize.gen.phoenixauth.

There is an example of Openmaize being used with Phoenix at Openmaize-phoenix.
