Static Key(s) as array?

corepay commented 4 years ago

Hello thank you - this saved my hours and errors

Couple questions...

~~1. Can I use this for multiple header api keys? For example, I have an x-api-key for my applications service...would like to also have an x-developer-key that checks my developers service.~~

extending question 1... ~~Can I also use the 'static' set api-key method in addition to the lookup method?~~ If so, can you make this an array lookup? For example, I have several server to server connections and I want to provide those an x-server-key header option.

IRL scenario if this helps:

I am trying to put together platform backend services where developers can build applications using a REST API. These developers register, system creates and issues a key for each developer I want them to put in header as x-developer-key
The developer creates apps in my application service, system creates a key for each application I want to them to put in the header as x-api-key
I communicate between servers inside and outside firewall. I want to manually provide an x-server-key header value and put it in an array of keys that is evaluated using the static method.

Again, thank you for your time here and sharing.

Hi, yes I got it working, simple actually no changes other than putting in missing the key-names into the authstrategy object. My bad...but this is real good.

So - all that's left is it possible for you to do an update allowing an array of keys in static?

Is there any reason, you can't set it up with the service method? Just add a field in the service, which indicates whether or not it is a developer key?

Hello, back on this...

To answer your question - I want to use the static key as an array for system administrators. they get issued their own 'x-master-key' that is stored in an array - these admins may or may not be setup as users key bypasses all jwt user login authentication in addition to some required relationships I have when creating or querying users.
