Coherence v0.1.0 Coherence
Coherence is a full featured, configurable authentication and user management system for Phoenix, providing a number of optional features configured with a installation mix task:
- Database Authenticatable: handles hashing and storing an encrypted password in the database.
- Invitable: sends invites to new users with a sign-up link, allowing the user to create their account with their own password.
- Registerable: allows anonymous users to register a users email address and password.
- Recoverable: provides a link to generate a password reset link with token expiry.
- Trackable: saves login statics like login counts, timestamps, and IP address for each user.
- Lockable: locks an account when a specified number of failed sign-in attempts has been exceeded.
- Unlockable With Token: provides a link to send yourself an unlock email.
- Rememberable: provides persistent login with ‘Remember me?’ check box on login page.
See the README file for an overview, installation, and setup instructions.
Authenticatable
Handles hashing and storing an encrypted password in the database.
Provides /sessions/new
and /sessions/delete
routes for logging in and out with
the appropriate templates and view.
The following columns are added the <timestamp>_add_coherence_to_user.exs
migration:
- :hashed_password, :string - the encrypted password
** This name can be changed with the
hashed_password_field config item. Changing this requires recompiling Coherence. ### Invitable Handles sending invites to new users with a sign-up link, allowing the user to create their account with their own password. Provides
/invitations/newand
invitations/editroutes for creating a new invitation and creating a new account from the invite email. These routes can be configured to require login by using the
coherence_routes :privatemacro in your router.exs file. Invitation token timeout will be added in the future. The following table is created by the generated
_create_coherence_invitable.exs` migration: ```elixir
create table(:invitations) do add :name, :string add :email, :string add :token, :string end
### Registerable
Allows anonymous users to register a users email address and password.
Provides `/registrations/new` and `/registrations/create` routes for creating a new registration.
Adds a `Register New Account` to the log-in page.
It is recommended that the :confirmable option is used with :registerable to
ensure a valid email address is captured.
### Recoverable
Allows users to reset their password using an expiring token send by email.
Provides `new`, `create`, `edit`, `update` actions for the `/passwords` route.
Adds a "Forgot your password?" link to the log-in form. When clicked, the user provides their email address and if found, sends a reset password instructions email with a reset link.
The expiry timeout can be changed with the `:reset_token_expire_days` config entry.
### Trackable
Saves login statics like login counts, timestamps, and IP address for each user.
Adds the following database field to your User model with the generated migration:
add :sign_in_count, :integer, default: 0 # how many times the user has logged in add :current_sign_in_at, :datetime # the current login timestamp add :last_sign_in_at, :datetime # the timestamp of the previous login add :current_sign_in_ip, :string # the current login IP adddress add :last_sign_in_ip, :string # the IP address of the previous login
### Lockable
Locks an account when a specified number of failed sign-in attempts has been exceeded.
The following defaults can be changed with the following config entries:
* `:unlock_timeout_minutes`
* `:max_failed_login_attempts`
Adds the following database field to your User model with the generated migration:
add :failed_attempts, :integer, default: 0 add :unlock_token, :string add :locked_at, :datetime
### Unlockable with Token
Provides a link to send yourself an unlock email. When the user clicks the link, the user is presented a form to enter their email address and password. If the token has not expired and the email and password are valid, a unlock email is sent to the user's email address with an expiring token.
The default expiry time can be changed with the `:unlock_token_expire_minutes` config entry.
### Remember Me
The `rememberable` option provides persistent login when the 'Remember Me?' box is checked during login.
With this feature, you will automatically be logged in from the same browser when your current login session dies using a configurable expiring persistent cookie.
For security, both a token and series number stored in the cookie on initial login. Each new creates a new token, but preserves the series number, providing protection against fraud. As well, both the token and series numbers are hashed before saving them to the database, providing protection if the database is compromised.
The following defaults can be changed with the following config entries:
* :rememberable_cookie_expire_hours (2*24)
* :login_cookie ("coherence_login")
The following table is created by the generated `<timestamp>_create_coherence_rememberable.exs` migration:
create table(:rememberables) do add :series_hash, :string add :token_hash, :string add :token_created_at, :datetime add :user_id, references(:users, on_delete: :delete_all)
timestamps end create index(:rememberables, [:user_id]) create index(:rememberables, [:series_hash]) create index(:rememberables, [:token_hash]) create unique_index(:rememberables, [:user_id, :series_hash, :token_hash])
The `--rememberable` install option is not provided in any of the installer group options. You must provide the `--rememberable` option to install the migration and its support.
## Installer
The following examples illustrate various configuration scenarios for the install mix task:
# Install with only the `authenticatable` option
$ mix coherence.install
# Install all the options except `confirmable` and `invitable`
$ mix coherence.install --full
# Install all the options except `invitable`
$ mix coherence.install --full-confirmable
# Install all the options except `confirmable`
$ mix coherence.install --full-invitable
# Install the `full` options except `lockable` and `trackable`
$ mix coherence.install --full --no-lockable --no-trackable
# Remove all the coherence generated boilerplate files
$ mix coherence.install --clean
Run `$ mix help coherence.install` for more information.
