I have a website that uses SAML2 for authentication. I don't manage the SSO at all, rather my site is part of a portal that requires SSO authentication for entry. I currently have middleware that gets the SAML attributes from the request->server object, and then does a variety of tasks, like check to see if they have affiliations, if those affiliations are allowed, etc...
This middleware was added to the kernel so that it runs for every HTTP request. I want to revamp this middleware to make it cleaner, and to also use Laravel's native Auth facade (we're checking to see if a session variable for a user has been set to determine if the user has already logged in, versus auth->check(), for example).
I've read several tutorials on how to bypass the authentication that comes with the Laravel Breeze starter kit and make your own. None quite matches what I need to do, but the concepts are the same:
Create a model (using the User model that was already there, with a few tweaks)
Create a Service provider (created anew provider that implements the UserProvider interface)
Create a Guard (created a new guard that implements the Guard interface)
I can understand those three things and did them, but I am unsure of how to put it all together.
I updated my config/auth.php file to include the new guard and provider:
I then updated the boot method of App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider to include the provider and guard that I created:
But now what? I guess this is the part I am missing.
Can someone more knowledgeable help me fit in the missing pieces? I am using Laravel Framework 8.73.1.
Now you just need to protect your routes using the auth laravel middleware (assuming your guard and provider implementations are correct)
You have two options:
Replace the default guard. Open config/auth.php and look for the lines:
'defaults' => [
'guard' => 'web', // --> Replace with saml
'passwords' => 'users',
],
Now, add the auth middleware to your routes and you are good to go. You can use the Auth facade as described in the laravel documentation.
Keep the laravel one as the default, and use your guard separately. You just need to specificy which guard to use whenever you use the Auth facade or middleware.
The middleware you need to use is auth:saml, and the facade calls must be prefixed with guard('saml'). E.g. Auth::guard('saml')->user().

I'm using Laravel Hesto Multi Auth package to create multiple auth. I have not used the default auth, but created user, admin, support, professionals guards with laravel hesto
Now im trying to implement Laravel email confirmation using this package
This send me a activation link to my email. However when that routes to http://localhost:8000/confirmation/2/jOVjV2xkfRZqAM4nwjAKdwTwn2 it shows an error
Method App\Http\Controllers\Auth\RegisterController::confirm does not exist.
It should check in App\Http\Controllers\UserAuth\RegisterController::confirm
How to change this? Also would like to know how to implement the same for other guards
If you check https://github.com/bestmomo/laravel-email-confirmation/blob/master/routes/web.php you will note they have defined routes for this. You can override this by doing the following:
1) Disable auto-discover for the package on the dont-discover portion of your compopser.json file.
2) Register the package's service provider before App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider::class so you can override the registered routes on your application.
3) Go ahead and register the routes you want, which will probably be like this:
Route::get('confirmation/resend', 'UserAuth\RegisterController#resend');
Route::get('confirmation/{id}/{token}', 'UserAuth\RegisterController#confirm');
That should do it or at least get you in the right track.
Also ensure you use the package Traits on your UserAuth controllers.
I'm trying to make an api route that's only accessible if the user making the request is logged in. This is what I have in my routes/api.php but it returns
{"error":"Unauthenticated."}
Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth:api'], function () {
Route::post('schedules', ['uses' => 'Api\ScheduleController#store']);
});
Can this be done without laravel passport and how? I only need the route for in-app use for logged in users.
I assumed the login mentioned is on "web" which using "session" as driver.
Your are getting this issue because "web" and "api" guard is using different driver for authentication. Take a look in config/auth.php. The "api" guard is using "token" as it's default driver.
Thus, you have few options to encounter this.
Move the route for "schedules" in web.php. No worry, your ajax will failed if not authenticated. But, take note that anything that involved POST method will require csrf (_token parameter), unless you are using laravel axios
Using authentication using api also which you can refer this tutorial for "token" driver and all your secure routes will be using token in its Authentication header
Me and my friend are creating an application. I'm using Laravel 5.4 as the backend and he uses Angular2 as frontend.
The Laravel project serves as a rest API with JWTauth token authentication.
Now I would like to make a small backend dashboard in the Laravel project that is only accessible by admins.
How would I go about using different authentication (with session) instead of tokens when I just browse to the api backend part?
This is pretty straightforward. Just apply the JWT auth middleware to the API routes and the normal auth middleware to your admin dashboard. You don't even need to tweak anything since JWT doesn't need changes to your table structure or need for changing the existing auth.
Build the backend dashboard using the built int auth scaffolding using the auth and guest middleware. For the api routes use the standard api middleware along with the jwt.auth middleware if you're using the tymondesigns/jwt-auth package. There will be no conflict with these two.
Bro use separate guard like
$loginUser = Auth::guard('web')->loginUsingId(12,true);
I have a react app that fetch datas from laravel api defined like so in routes/api.php:
// this is default route provided by laravel out of the box
Route::middleware('auth:api')->get('/user', function (Request $request) {
return $request->user();
});
// ItemController provides an index methods that list items with json
Route::resource('items', 'Api\ItemController', array('except' => array('create','edit')));
// this is to store new users
Route::resource('users', 'Api\UserController', array('only' => array('store')));
for example http://example.com/api/items returns the data as intended but it's really insecure since anyone could access it through postman.
How to make those routes only accessible inside the app?
As I'm new to it I don't understand if I need to set up api_token and how?
Do I need to setup Passport?
Is is related to auth:api middleware?
It may sounds really basic but any help or tutorial suggestions would be greatly appreciated
EDIT
End up with a classic session auth. Moved routes inside web.php. Pass csrf token in ajax request. Actually i didn't need a RESTful API. You only need token auth when your API is stateless.
As you are using Laravel 5.4 you can use Passport, but I haven't implemented yet, but i implemented lucadegasperi/oauth2-server-laravel for one of my laravel projects and it was developed in Laravel 5.1
Here is the link to github repository
lucadegasperi/oauth2-server-laravel
Here is the link to the documentation Exrensive Documentation
Just add the package to the composer json and run composer update,the package will get installed to your application , once installed add the providers array class and aliases array class as mentioned in the Laravel 5 installation part of the documentation,
you have to do a small tweak in order to work perfectly cut csrf from $middleware array and paste it into $routeMiddleware array and again run php artisan vendor:publish after publishing the migrations will be created and run the migration php artisan migrate
if you only want to secure api routes for each client like ios, android and web you can implement Client Credentials Grant, or if you need to every user with oauth the you can implement Authorization Server with the Password Grant or some other.,
Never use the client id or other credentials, generating access token in the form, but add it some where in helper and attach it in the request to the api,
Hope this answer helps you.
You could use JWT it's pretty easy to get it to work. You basically generate a token by requesting Username/Password and passing that token in every request that requires authentication, your URL would look like http://example.com/api/items?token=SOME-TOKEN. without a proper token, he doesn't have access do this endpoint.
As for
How to make those routes only accessible inside the app?
If you mean only your app can use these requests, you can't. Basically the API doesn't know who is sending these requests, he can only check if what you are giving is correct and proceed with it if everything is in order. I'd suggest you to have a look at this question
I just upgraded my app from Laravel 5.2 to 5.3 and followed all the steps.
The one that seems to be the cause of the issue I'm facing is Auth Middleware. I did change the class that should be executed.
But for some reason, all the routes are returning "Unauthenticated" error.
I'm not fetching logged in user in the constructor of any controller class.
In fact, none of my controller class have a constructor.
What can be causing this problem?
Adding "web" middleware wherever I've "auth" middleware solved the problem.
The two default authentication controllers provided with the framework have been split into four smaller controllers. This change provides cleaner, more focused authentication controllers by default. The easiest way to upgrade your application to the new authentication controllers is to grab a fresh copy of each controller from GitHub and place them into your application.
You should also make sure that you are calling the Auth::routes() method in your routes/web.php file. This method will register the proper routes for the new authentication controllers.
Once these controllers have been placed into your application, you may need to re-implement any customizations you made to these controllers. For example, if you are customizing the authentication guard that is used for authentication, you may need to override the controller's guard method. You can examine each authentication controller's trait to determine which methods to override.
