Purpose: The barely recognisable core of acts_as_authenticated’s #

AuthenticatedSystem module, modified to work with the      #
other parts of HubSsoLib. You should include this module   #
to use its facilities.                                     #

Instance Method Details

Returns markup for a link that leads to Hub’s login or logout link, using pure HTML + CSS for styling. A universal “conditional login” link is used since page data may be old due to e.g. a “back” button being used, after the user either logged in or out elsewhere. This possibility is also why JavaScript is used, updating the button styling the correct login state if needed. This requires the “pageshow” event to be supported. NOSCRIPT browsers use the a no-cache image-based fallback, which is much less efficient, but works.

Although the JavaScript-powered option could use the non-conditional link for log in/out and swap those, it’s simpler just to use generate the same link for all states - script-capable or otherwise, logged in or out,

#hubssolib_authorized?(action = action_name, classname = self.class) ⇒ Boolean

Check if the user is authorized to perform the current action. If calling from a helper, pass the action name and class name; otherwise by default, the current action name and ‘self.class’ will be used.

Override this method in your controllers if you want to restrict access to a different set of actions. Presently, the current user’s roles are compared against the caller’s permissions hash and the action name.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#hubssolib_enumerate_usersObject

WARNING: Slow.

Return an Array of HubSsoLib::User objects for all logged-in users, in an array. If a user is logged into more than one browser and thus has more than one session active, they will accordingly appear more than once in the returned data. This can also happen if a user loses key rotation and leaves an old, but not yet expired session behind when they log in anew.

In accordance with HubSsoLib::SessionFactory#enumerate_hub_session_ids documentation, a maximum of HUB_SESSION_ENUMERATION_KEY_MAX users can be returned here. If this is exceeded, an empty array is returned. If you are processing this information for display in a UI which itself requires a logged in user of some sort (which is very likely) and therefore know that at least one session does exist, you can treat an empty array as confirmation of “lots of sessions”. If you can’t be sure of at least one logged in user, then there is obvious arising ambiguity and this method does not solve it for you - it’s just “zero, or very many users”.

Users are ordered by least-recently-active first, most-recent last.

For information about performance limitations, see HubSsoLib::SessionFactory#enumerate_hub_session_ids.

#hubssolib_flash_dataObject

Return flash data for known keys, then all remaining keys, from both the cross-application and standard standard flash hashes. The returned Hash is of the form:

{ 'hub' => ...data..., 'standard' => ...data... }

…where “…data…” is itself a Hash of flash keys yielding flash values. This allows both the Hub and standard flashes to have values inside them under the same key. All keys are strings.

You may well prefer to use #hubssolib_flash_markup to obtain something that can be written straight into a view, unless it doesn’t meet your markup requirements.

#hubssolib_flash_markupObject

A companion to #hubssolib_flash_data which returns standardised Flash markup for your view. THIS MUST ONLY BE USED IN A VIEW / HELPER, or at least somewhere that ActionView::Helpers::TagHelper#tag is available.

  • An outer DIV with class “flash” wraps the content.

  • Within that, H2 tags wrap each message in the flash data. These tags also have class “flash”, along with an additional tag which is equal to the key under which the message was found - so if adding a flash message under, say, :alert, the rendered result would be &lt;h2 class="flash alert"&gt;...&lt;/h2&gt;.

  • As a special case, a key with the suffix _html_safe is taken to contain HTML-safe strings and potential markup, so you could do things like add emphasis, other classes or styles to the data written inside the H2 tag. Be very careful to make sure any non-markup data is properly escaped first. The key-related class in the arising H2 tag excludes the suffix, so e.g. :notice_html_safe will lead to class notice.

Hub session-sourced and Rails local app session-sourced flash data is treated the same, with Hub-sourced data listed first. The other is otherwise undefined (it’s rare for there to be more than one thing in the flash at any given time, though).

#hubssolib_get_flashObject

Flash data can be carried across the Hub session, stored in the DRb server as a result, and is thus cleared automatically if a session gets dropped. However, we also want this to work without being logged in, so in that case it uses the normal flash as a backup when writing.

This method returns the Hub flash if logged in, else nil.

#hubssolib_log_in(user) ⇒ Object

Log in the user. This is just syntax sugar for setting the current user via #hubssolib_current_user, really. You can freely use either approach according to your preferred aesthetics, but this method is preferred.

user

A valid HubSsoLib::User instance. If this has a nil value for user_id, or if user is itself nil, you’ll cause the same effect as if explicitly logging out.

#hubssolib_promote_uri_to_ssl(uri_str, host = nil) ⇒ Object

Take a URI and pass an optional host parameter. Decomposes the URI, sets the host you provide (or leaves it alone if you omit the parameter), then forces the scheme to ‘https’. Returns the result as a flat string.

#hubssolib_register_user_change_handler(app_name:, app_root:, task_name:) ⇒ Object

If an application needs to know about changes of a user e-mail address or display name (e.g. because of sync to a local relational store of users related to other application-managed resources, with therefore a desire to keep that store up to date), it can register a task to run on-change here. When a user edits their information, Hub runs through all such commands, allowing external applications to manage their own state with no need for coupled configuration or other duplication.

The registered name must be a Rake task and the application must specify its location in the filesystem so that the PWD can be changed there, in order to execute the Rake task via “bundle exec”. The task is passed the following parameters, in the specified order:

  • User’s old e-mail address

  • User’s old unique display name (as returned by #hubssolib_unique_name)

  • User’s new e-mail address (which might be the same as the old)

  • User’s old unique display name (which might be unchanged too)

This is a newer Hub interface which uses named parameters rather than positional:

app_name

Application name, e.g. “beast”; make sure this is unique.

app_root

Application’s Rails root, e.g. “/home/fred/rails/beast”.

task_name

Rake task name, e.g. “hub:update_user”.

An example invocation in “config/application.rb” might look like this:

module Foo
  class Application < Rails::Application

  require HubSsoLib::Core

    hubssolib_register_user_change_handler(
      app_name:  Rails.application.name,
      app_root:  Rails.root,
      task_name: 'hub:update_user'
    )

    config.load_defaults 8.0 # ...etc...
  end

#hubssolib_registered_user_change_handlersObject

Returns all change handlers registered by prior calls made to #hubssolib_register_user_change_handler. Returns a Hash, keyed by Rails application name, with values of another Hash:

  • root => Rails application root

  • task => Name of Rake task to be run

All keys are Strings.

This is usually called by the Hub application only, when it is processing a user’s request to change their information.

#hubssolib_retrieve_user_sessions(hub_user_id) ⇒ Object

WARNING: Comparatively slow.

For a given HubSsoLib::User’s user ID, return any known sessions held by the DRb server, as an Hash of session keys with HubSsoLib::Session instances as values.

Returns an empty Hash if the given ID is nil.

Note that Hub sessions can disappear at any moment, so the session keys you find in the Hash might refer to extinct sessions by the time you get to do something with them. You can still access the data, but if you were to try and ask the DRb server for that key, it’d return nil.

Sessions are ordered by least-recently-active first, most-recent last.

For information about performance limitations, see HubSsoLib::SessionFactory#retrieve_sessions_by_user_id.

#hubssolib_returnable_account_url(universal: false, logged_in: self.hubssolib_logged_in?, return_to: nil) ⇒ Object

Return a URL that leads to a Hub “log in” page if the user is not logged in currently, else an “account” page for logged-in users.

universal

Use true if concerned that a “Back” browser button action might cause a page to appear that’s got a cached link which may no longer reflect the current state. This jumps to Hub and redirects to the “log in” or “account” destinations depending on current state. If using this, bear in mind that the link text must be ambiguous, because the eventual destination isn’t known.

It’s often better to just use #hubssolib_account_link to create markup for this in a navigation area.

The default is false, which means that a bespoke link for the exact current instantaneous log in state is generated; the logged_in parameter applies (see below).

logged_in

If universal is false, then this parameter defaults to the current user logged-in state, but can be overridden with true (act as if someone is logged in) or false (act as if someone is not logged in).

return_to

Overrides the use of request.original_url to give an alternative return-after-logging-in URL. Will be of no use for users already logged in. This is rarely used, but might be helpful if you (say) want them to return to the current page, but with a specific fragment added (“#foo”). Specify as a String, Symbol or URI, at your preference.

Note that the universal links, or a not-logged-in state link will include a query string which takes the value of request.original_url or, if not defined, tries request.referrer (else is absent). This is a URL used for the redirection after successful login. The logged-in state link does not require this addition so omits it for brevity.
