Headless.Dashboard.Authentication

Shared authentication package for Headless dashboards (Jobs and Messaging).

Problem Solved

Provides a unified authentication system with 5 modes so both Jobs and Messaging dashboards share the same auth model and login UI without duplicating code.

Key Features

  • 5 Auth Modes: None, Basic, API Key, Host, Custom
  • Constant-Time Comparison: Prevents timing attacks on credentials
  • Auth Middleware: Protects API endpoints while allowing static file access
  • Frontend Config: Provides auth info to frontend for adaptive login UI

Auth Modes

Mode Description
None No authentication — public dashboard
Basic Username/password (Base64 encoded)
ApiKey Bearer token authentication
Host Delegates to host app's authentication/authorization
Custom Custom validation function

Types

  • AuthMode — enum of supported modes
  • AuthConfig — configuration (credentials, API key, validator, session timeout)
  • IAuthService / AuthService — authenticate requests, return AuthResult
  • AuthMiddleware — protects /api/* paths, skips static files
  • AuthResult — success/failure with username
  • AuthInfo — mode/enabled/timeout for frontend

Dependencies

  • Microsoft.AspNetCore.App (framework reference)
