singlestore-auth-helper - helper utility for browser-based authentication

GoDoc

Install:

go install github.com/memsql/singlestore-auth-helper@latest

The singlestore-auth-helper is a small utility that opens a browser to a well-known URL with some parameters. It also puts up a http server to receive an eventual response from the browser.

The idea is that the browser session will be used to capture a JWT. The JWT is the output so that the caller of the singlestore-auth-helper can use it for database access.

With a mysql client:

mysql -u $EMAIL_ADDRESS -h $CLUSTER_HOSTNAME -P $CLUSTER_PORT --password=`singlestore-auth-helper` --ssl=TRUE

With a singlestore client:

singlestore -u $EMAIL_ADDRESS -h $CLUSTER_HOSTNAME -P $CLUSTER_PORT --password=`singlestore-auth-helper` --ssl=TRUE --enable-cleartext-plugin

Note: the Safari browser is not compatible with the singlestore-auth-helper because it lacks a cross-site-scripting exception for localhost.

To set the results of the auth-helper in environment variables for use in scripting, use the env-name and env-status command line options. When these are used, the status and token are prefixed with the given name, such as:

singlestore-auth-helper --env-status=STATUS --env-name=TOKEN

STATUS=0
TOKEN=eyJhbGcibW9zc0BzaW5nbGVzdG9yZS5jb20iLCJhdWQiOlsiZW5naW5lIiwiIXBvcnRhbCJdLCJleHAiOjE

The output can be evaluated, thus setting the environment variables:

eval $(singlestore-auth-helper --env-status=STATUS --env-name=TOKEN)

echo $TOKEN
eyJhbGcibW9zc0BzaW5nbGVzdG9yZS5jb20iLCJhdWQiOlsiZW5naW5lIiwiIXBvcnRhbCJdLCJleHAiOjE
