OAuth token service

A lightweight Rust library for managing OAuth access tokens with automatic renewal support. Implements the client credentials flow using base64-encoded credentials. Built specifically for Authentik but designed to work with any OAuth2-compatible identity provider.

Features

• Automatic token renewal when expired
• Thread-safe token management using Arc<Mutex<>>
• Client credentials OAuth2 flow
• Configurable identity provider URL
• Built on top of the oauth2 crate
• Safe redirect policy to prevent SSRF
• Async/await support

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
oauth_token_service = "0.1.0"

Quick start

use oauth_token_service::{TokenService, TokenServiceConfig};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Configure the token service
    let config = TokenServiceConfig {
        identity_service_base_url: "https://identity.example.com".to_string(),
        username: "your_username".to_string(),
        token: "your_token".to_string(),
        client_id: "your_client_id".to_string(),
    };

    // Create a new token service instance
    let token_service = TokenService::new(config);

    // Get a valid token - will automatically fetch or renew as needed
    let token = token_service.get_token().await.expect("failed to get token");
    println!("Access token: {}", token.secret().as_str());
}

Configuration

The TokenServiceConfig requires the following fields:

• identity_service_base_url: Base URL of your identity provider (e.g., "https://identity.example.com")
• username: Username for client credentials
• token: Token/password for client credentials
• client_id: Your OAuth client ID

The service will automatically construct the necessary OAuth endpoints by appending /authorize/ and /token/ to the base URL.

Error Handling

The service provides a TokenServiceError enum with two variants:

• TokenError: When no valid token was returned from the identity provider
• NetworkError: Specifically handles HTTP client errors
