JWT Auth + Refresh Tokens in Rails

JWT Auth + Refresh Tokens in Rails

This is just some code I recently used in my development application in order to add token-based authentication for my api-only rails app. The api-client was to be consumed by a mobile application, so I needed an authentication solution that would keep the user logged in indefinetly and the only way to do this was either using refresh tokens or sliding sessions.

I also needed a way to both blacklist and whitelist tokens based on a unique identifier (jti)

Before trying it out DIY, I considered using:

Using my Canon 70D DSLR camera as a web cam on Linux

You'll need:

  1. Video 4 Linux loopback device kernel module (v4l2loopback) - Source: https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback (You might find builds in your distro's repos - I'm using Fedora so had to build it myself using https://github.com/danielkza/v4l2loopback-fedora/)
  2. gPhoto2 - this is what allows you to access your cameras live feed over USB - this was available in Fedora's repos.
  3. GStreamer or ffmpeg - this is what lets you stream the output from gPhoto2 into the loopback device.

It's been a little while since I set it all up so I can't remember all of the installation details, which will probably be different for your distro anyway unless you're using Fedora. Apologies if I have forgotten something as wel.

Running the stream

I am the owner of lvh.me. And I'm glad to hear it's helpful. In truth, it's just a fancy DNS trick. lhv.me and all of it's sub-domains just point back to your computer (127.0.0.1). That means running ssl is as simple (or difficult) as running ssl on your computer.
I'm not sure how comfortable you are with the command line, but here's my how I setup my development environment. (rvm, passenger, nginx w/ SSL, etc).
# Install rvm (no sudo!)

bash < <( curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-install-head )
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
rvm install ree-1.8.7-2010.02
