frank_jwt VS auth

NOTE: Never store sensitive information about a client in the payload as the JWT is just encoded and not encrypted. You can paste the JWT I gave as an example above in this cool site which basically allows you to see in decoded. JSON Web Tokens - jwt.io

Although they did not make it into production, I experimented with the RabbitMQ message broker, Python (Django, Flask), Kubernetes + minikube, JWT, and NGINX. This was a hobby project, but I intended to learn about microservices along the way.

JSON Web Token (JWT) creation to extend user authentication to server-side functions

The (probably) most famous web resource about JWT - https://jwt.io - provides such a definition of JSON Web Tokens:

If you want to play with JWT and put these concepts into practice, you can use jwt.ioDebugger to decode, verify, and generate JWTs.

In this context, JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) play a crucial role.

Json Web Token (JWT): Even though it is more like an industry standard, we will use JWTs for stateless authentication in this article. If you want to learn more, you can refer to the official documentation.

Supabase Auth now supports anonymous sign-ins, one of our most-requested features by the community.

People keep writing this, doesn't Supabase rely on spinning up additional services to leave, meaning you can't leave to another managed offering?

Off the top of my mind, PostgREST and go-true? https://github.com/supabase/auth

If you use Postgres you're "locked" into Postgres: a technology with a laundry list of providers.

If you leave Supabase, you'll lose the fully managed aspect of 99% of the Postgres providers out there, which confirms the pain the parent comment is describing.

It's not self-implemented, you can check it out here: https://github.com/supabase/gotrue

> Not password protected if the password is part of the URL.

It's a token that's valid for a couple of minutes – just like a password reset token. Indeed, in the given implementation, it's the very same as the password reset token. If you consider this implementation as "not password protected", any website with a password reset functionality is "not password protected".

I hate to be this guy, really. I would like to adopt Supabase in company, but I cannot yet.

I commented on a HN post almost a year ago about how hard is to do custom Auth with Supabase. I still haven't find a good solution about it. For example, LDAP Auth is quite crucial in most enterprise settings, yet I have no idea how to do it with Supabase. I can find a workaround for PostgREST by putting a secondary API written in some other language and fiddling with reverse proxies. But how to do with Supabase, such that all other services (realtime,...) works nicely? Is it so hard to provide a function that accept a custom strategy given the HTTP request data?

I created an issue[0] almost a year ago on Supabase, which was transferred to Gotrue. I even provided some code examples from Laravel. Even if it is not specifically for LDAP, make some API available to do so, please.

Yes there is, it's just not pretty yet: https://github.com/supabase/gotrue/blob/master/openapi.yaml

The gotrue api: https://github.com/supabase/gotrue

Validation happen inside of the GoTrue: https://github.com/supabase/gotrue... but you don't need it on your own, non supabase, server side resources... that's the beauty of JWT. You can validate JWT in any back-end / language, by simply checking the signature against HS256 key.

Supabase use gotrue for Auth, you can poke around in the code & read more about it here: https://github.com/supabase/gotrue
