# 🔐 git-oidc [![Crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/git-oidc)](https://crates.io/crates/git-oidc) TL;DR - Rust library for validating GitHub [OIDC tokens](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/deployment/security-hardening-your-deployments/about-security-hardening-with-openid-connect) - Fetches JWKS and verifies token claims for GitHub Actions - No more long-lived credentials in your repository ## 🚀 Installation `cargo add git-oidc` ## 🤔 Use Case Scenario git-oidc enables secure, credential-free authentication for custom GitHub integrations: 1. Set up a custom OIDC provider service (e.g., [railway.app](https://railway.app)). 2. GitHub Actions generates an OIDC token for your Github Actions. 3. Your custom OIDC provider service uses git-oidc to validate the token. 4. Validation can be used for any Github Actions workflow ## ⚙️ Usage ### Example Rust Service ```rust use actix_web::{web, App, HttpResponse, HttpServer, Responder}; use git_oidc::{fetch_jwks, validate_github_token}; async fn custom_endpoint( token_request: web::Json, data: web::Data, ) -> impl Responder { match validate_github_token(&token_request.token, data.jwks.clone(), "https://github.com/your-username").await { Ok(claims) => { info!("Token validated successfully"); HttpResponse::Ok().json(claims) } Err(e) => { error!("Token validation error: {:?}", e); HttpResponse::BadRequest().body(format!("Invalid token: {}", e)) } } } #[actix_web::main] async fn main() -> Result<()> { env_logger::init_from_env(Env::default().default_filter_or("debug")); color_eyre::install()?; let github_oidc_url = "https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com"; let jwks = Arc::new(RwLock::new(fetch_jwks(github_oidc_url).await?)); HttpServer::new(move || { App::new() .app_data(web::Data::new(AppState { jwks: jwks.clone() })) .route("/token", web::post().to(custom_endpoint)) }) .bind("0.0.0.0:3000")? .run() .await?; Ok(()) } ``` ### Example GitHub Actions Workflow that uses OIDC URL Server ```yaml name: Get and Validate JWT on: workflow_dispatch: jobs: get_and_validate_jwt: runs-on: ubuntu-latest permissions: id-token: write contents: read steps: - name: Get JWT id: get_token uses: actions/github-script@v6 with: script: | const token = await core.getIDToken() core.setOutput('token', token) - name: Validate JWT env: OIDC_SERVICE_URL: ${{ secrets.OIDC_SERVICE_URL }} run: | TOKEN="${{ steps.get_token.outputs.token }}" RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X POST $OIDC_SERVICE_URL \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "{\"token\": \"$TOKEN\"}") echo "OIDC Service Response: $RESPONSE" if [[ $RESPONSE == *"Invalid token"* ]]; then echo "::error::Token validation failed: $RESPONSE" exit 1 elif [[ $RESPONSE == *"error"* ]]; then echo "::warning::Unexpected error occurred: $RESPONSE" exit 1 elif [[ -z "$RESPONSE" ]]; then echo "::error::Empty response from OIDC service" exit 1 else echo "::notice::Token validated successfully" echo "$RESPONSE" | jq . fi ```
