mcias-client (Go)

Go client library for the MCIAS identity and access management API.

Requirements

  • Go 1.21+

Installation

go get git.wntrmute.dev/kyle/mcias/clients/go

Quick Start

import "git.wntrmute.dev/kyle/mcias/clients/go/mcias"

// Connect to the MCIAS server.
client, err := mcias.New("https://auth.example.com", mcias.Options{})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

// Authenticate.
token, expiresAt, err := client.Login("alice", "s3cret", "")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Printf("token expires at %s\n", expiresAt)

// The token is stored in the client automatically.
// Call authenticated endpoints...
accounts, err := client.ListAccounts()

// Revoke the token when done.
if err := client.Logout(); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

Custom CA Certificate

client, err := mcias.New("https://auth.example.com", mcias.Options{
    CACertPath: "/etc/mcias/ca.pem",
})

Error Handling

All methods return typed errors:

_, _, err := client.Login("alice", "wrongpass", "")
switch {
case errors.Is(err, new(mcias.MciasAuthError)):
    // 401 — wrong credentials or token invalid
case errors.Is(err, new(mcias.MciasForbiddenError)):
    // 403 — insufficient role
case errors.Is(err, new(mcias.MciasNotFoundError)):
    // 404 — resource not found
case errors.Is(err, new(mcias.MciasInputError)):
    // 400 — malformed request
case errors.Is(err, new(mcias.MciasConflictError)):
    // 409 — conflict (e.g. duplicate username)
case errors.Is(err, new(mcias.MciasServerError)):
    // 5xx — unexpected server error
}

All error types embed MciasError which carries StatusCode int and Message string.

Thread Safety

Client is safe for concurrent use from multiple goroutines. The internal token is protected by sync.RWMutex.
