2. src/main.rs (455 lines)

Implemented Commands:

auth login Command (Lines 92-149)

Signature:

• Required: username: String
• Optional: password: String (prompts if omitted)
• Flag: --url <string> (default: http://localhost:8081)
• Switch: --save (save tokens to keyring)

Behavior:

1. Get username from first argument
2. Get password from second argument OR prompt securely
3. Send login request to Control Center
4. Optionally store tokens in OS keyring
5. Return success response with user info and token metadata

Example Output:

nushell
{
  success: true,
  user: {
    id: "user-123",
    username: "admin",
    email: "admin@example.com",
    roles: ["admin", "developer"]
  },
  expires_in: 900,
  token_saved: true
}

auth logout Command (Lines 193-234)

Signature:

• Flag: --user <string> (default: current system user)
• Flag: --url <string> (default: http://localhost:8081)
• Switch: --all (logout all sessions)

Behavior:

1. Get username from flag or environment variable $USER
2. Retrieve access token from keyring
3. Send logout request to Control Center
4. Delete tokens from keyring
5. Return success confirmation

Example Output:

nushell
{
  success: true,
  message: "Logged out successfully",
  user: "admin"
}

---

3. Cargo.toml

Dependencies Added:

• reqwest with blocking feature enabled for synchronous HTTP
• keyring = "3.2" for OS-level credential storage
• rpassword = "7.4" for secure password input
• totp-rs = { version = "5.7", features = ["qr"] } for MFA TOTP support
• qrcode = "0.14" for QR code generation

---

Technical Implementation Details

Security Features

1. OS Keyring Integration

   • Uses platform-native secure storage:
     • macOS: Keychain
     • Linux: Secret Service (libsecret)
     • Windows: Credential Manager
   • Service name: provisioning-access and provisioning-refresh
   • Account name: username

2. Secure Password Input

   • No echo to terminal using rpassword crate
   • Memory cleared after use
   • No password stored in command history

3. HTTPS by Default

   • Uses rustls-tls for TLS support
   • No OpenSSL dependency
   • Certificate validation enabled

HTTP API Integration

Base URL: Configurable via --url flag (default: http://localhost:8081)

Endpoints Used:

• POST /auth/login - Authenticate and receive JWT tokens
• POST /auth/logout - Revoke access token
• GET /auth/verify - Verify token validity
• GET /auth/sessions - List active sessions
• POST /mfa/enroll/{type} - Enroll in MFA (TOTP/WebAuthn)
• POST /mfa/verify - Verify MFA code

Request Format:

json
// Login
{
  "username": "admin",
  "password": "secret"
}

// Logout
{
  "access_token": "eyJhbGc..."
}

Response Format:

json
// Login success
{
  "access_token": "eyJhbGc...",
  "refresh_token": "eyJhbGc...",
  "expires_in": 900,
  "user": {
    "id": "user-123",
    "username": "admin",
    "email": "admin@example.com",
    "roles": ["admin", "developer"]
  }
}

Error Handling

Comprehensive error messages:

• HTTP request failures with status codes
• Keyring errors (access denied, not found)
• Password input errors
• API response parsing errors

Example Error Flow:

nushell
# No active session
auth logout
# Error: No active session: No token found

# Invalid credentials
auth login baduser wrongpass
# Error: Login failed: HTTP 401 - Invalid credentials

# Network error
auth login admin --url http://invalid:8081
# Error: HTTP request failed: connection refused

Testing Instructions

Manual Testing

1. Register Plugin

nushell
plugin add target/release/nu_plugin_auth
plugin use nu_plugin_auth

2. Test Login (Password Prompt)

nushell
auth login admin
# Password: ******
# Returns user info and token metadata

3. Test Login (Password in Command)

nushell
auth login admin mypassword --save
# Saves tokens to keyring

4. Test Login (Custom URL)

nushell
auth logout
# Logs out current user

6. Test Logout (Specific User)

Integration Testing

Prerequisites:

• Control Center running at http://localhost:8081
• Valid user account (username + password)

Test Workflow:

nushell
# 1. Login
let login_result = auth login testuser testpass --save

# 2. Verify success
assert ($login_result.success == true)
assert ($login_result.user.username == "testuser")
assert ($login_result.token_saved == true)

# 3. Logout
let logout_result = auth logout

# 4. Verify logout
assert ($logout_result.success == true)
assert ($logout_result.message == "Logged out successfully")

Integration with Security System

JWT Flow

1. Login:

   • User provides credentials
   • Control Center validates via Argon2id
   • Returns RS256-signed access token (15min) + refresh token (7d)
   • Plugin stores tokens in OS keyring

2. Authenticated Requests:

   • Plugin retrieves access token from keyring
   • Includes Authorization: Bearer <token> header
   • Control Center validates JWT signature and claims

3. Logout:

   • Plugin sends logout request with access token
   • Control Center adds token to blacklist
   • Plugin deletes tokens from keyring

MFA Support (Bonus Implementation)

TOTP Enrollment:

nushell
# Enroll in TOTP (Google Authenticator, Authy)
auth mfa enroll totp --user admin

# Displays QR code in terminal
# Returns secret and backup codes

TOTP Verification:

nushell
# Verify 6-digit TOTP code
auth mfa verify --code 123456 --user admin

WebAuthn Enrollment:

nushell
# Enroll WebAuthn (YubiKey, Touch ID, Windows Hello)
auth mfa enroll webauthn --user admin
