# Authentication System Fix Summary
|
||||
|
||||
## Issues Fixed
|
||||
|
||||
The original authentication system had several critical security and functionality issues:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. **Client-side Only Authentication**
|
||||
- **Problem**: No server-side user database or password verification
|
||||
- **Solution**: Implemented complete server-side user authentication with persistent storage
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. **Device-based Storage**
|
||||
- **Problem**: Apps were linked to localStorage user IDs rather than actual accounts
|
||||
- **Solution**: Server-side user database with proper session management
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. **No Password Persistence**
|
||||
- **Problem**: Passwords were never stored or validated server-side
|
||||
- **Solution**: bcrypt password hashing with persistent storage
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. **Account ID Computation**
|
||||
- **Problem**: Used email hash but didn't verify credentials
|
||||
- **Solution**: Server assigns and returns authenticated user IDs
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Details
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. **Server-Side Dependencies Added**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"dependencies": {
|
||||
"bcrypt": "^5.1.1",
|
||||
"jsonwebtoken": "^9.0.2"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. **User Database Structure**
|
||||
- **File**: `.data/.opencode-chat/users.json`
|
||||
- **Format**: Array of user objects with hashed passwords
|
||||
- **User Schema**:
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: "uuid",
|
||||
email: "normalized-lowercase-email",
|
||||
password: "bcrypt-hashed-password",
|
||||
createdAt: "ISO-timestamp",
|
||||
lastLoginAt: "ISO-timestamp"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. **New API Endpoints**
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Registration
|
||||
- **Endpoint**: `POST /api/register`
|
||||
- **Payload**: `{ email, password }`
|
||||
- **Response**: `{ ok: true, user: { id, email }, token, expiresAt }`
|
||||
- **Validates**: Email format, password strength (6+ chars), unique email
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Login
|
||||
- **Endpoint**: `POST /api/login`
|
||||
- **Payload**: `{ email, password }`
|
||||
- **Response**: `{ ok: true, user: { id, email }, token, expiresAt }`
|
||||
- **Validates**: Password against stored bcrypt hash
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Session Management
|
||||
- **Endpoint**: `GET /api/me` - Get current user info
|
||||
- **Endpoint**: `POST /api/logout` - End user session
|
||||
|
||||
#### Secure Account Migration
|
||||
- **Endpoint**: `POST /api/account/claim`
|
||||
- **Requires**: Valid user authentication
|
||||
- **Migrates**: Device apps to authenticated user account
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. **Session Token System**
|
||||
- **Storage**: HTTP-only cookies + JWT tokens
|
||||
- **Expiration**: 30 days (configurable)
|
||||
- **Security**: bcrypt password hashing (12 rounds)
|
||||
- **Validation**: Server-side token verification
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. **Client-Side Updates**
|
||||
|
||||
#### Enhanced Login Flow
|
||||
- Tries server authentication first
|
||||
- Stores session tokens in localStorage
|
||||
- Falls back to old system for backwards compatibility
|
||||
- Proper error handling and user feedback
|
||||
|
||||
#### Enhanced Registration Flow
|
||||
- Server-side validation
|
||||
- Immediate account creation and login
|
||||
- Device app migration
|
||||
- Password strength validation
|
||||
|
||||
#### API Request Enhancement
|
||||
- Automatically includes session tokens
|
||||
- Handles 401 responses by redirecting to login
|
||||
- Maintains backwards compatibility with device-based auth
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. **Environment Configuration**
|
||||
|
||||
#### Required Environment Variables
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# User authentication (recommended)
|
||||
USER_SESSION_SECRET=your-secure-random-secret
|
||||
USER_SESSION_TTL_MS=2592000000 # 30 days in milliseconds
|
||||
|
||||
# Optional overrides
|
||||
PASSWORD_SALT_ROUNDS=12 # bcrypt rounds (default: 12)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Security Notes
|
||||
- Default session secret is provided but should be overridden in production
|
||||
- All passwords are hashed with bcrypt (12 rounds by default)
|
||||
- Session tokens expire after 30 days
|
||||
- Secure cookies in production (set COOKIE_SECURE=1)
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. **Backwards Compatibility**
|
||||
- Old device-based authentication still works
|
||||
- Gradual migration from client-side to server-side auth
|
||||
- Account claiming works for both old and new accounts
|
||||
- Existing apps continue to function
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. **Password Security**
|
||||
- bcrypt hashing with 12 salt rounds
|
||||
- Never store plaintext passwords
|
||||
- Password strength validation
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. **Session Security**
|
||||
- HTTP-only cookies prevent XSS attacks
|
||||
- SameSite cookie protection
|
||||
- Session token expiration
|
||||
- Server-side token validation
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. **API Security**
|
||||
- Authentication required for sensitive operations
|
||||
- Proper error handling without information leakage
|
||||
- Secure account migration process
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. **Dependencies Test**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd /home/engine/project/chat
|
||||
node -e "const bcrypt = require('bcrypt'); console.log('bcrypt works:', bcrypt.hashSync('test', 12).length)"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. **Server Startup**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd /home/engine/project/chat
|
||||
node server.js
|
||||
# Should create users.json file in .data/.opencode-chat/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. **API Testing**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Register user
|
||||
curl -X POST http://localhost:4000/api/register \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{"email":"test@example.com","password":"password123"}'
|
||||
|
||||
# Login user
|
||||
curl -X POST http://localhost:4000/api/login \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{"email":"test@example.com","password":"password123"}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Migration Guide
|
||||
|
||||
### For Existing Users
|
||||
1. **Automatic**: Old accounts continue to work with device-based auth
|
||||
2. **Upgrade**: Users can register/login with the same email to upgrade
|
||||
3. **Migration**: Apps automatically migrate to new authenticated account
|
||||
|
||||
### For Developers
|
||||
1. **Update Environment**: Set `USER_SESSION_SECRET` for production
|
||||
2. **Test Authentication**: Verify login/registration flows work
|
||||
3. **Monitor Logs**: Watch for authentication events in logs
|
||||
|
||||
## Files Modified
|
||||
|
||||
### Server Changes
|
||||
- `chat/server.js`: Complete authentication system implementation
|
||||
- `chat/package.json`: Added bcrypt and jsonwebtoken dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
### Client Changes
|
||||
- `chat/public/login.html`: Enhanced with server authentication
|
||||
- `chat/public/signup.html`: Enhanced with server registration
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
The authentication system has been completely overhauled from a client-side only system to a secure, server-side authentication system with:
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ Persistent user database
|
||||
- ✅ Secure password hashing
|
||||
- ✅ Session token management
|
||||
- ✅ Backwards compatibility
|
||||
- ✅ Enhanced security
|
||||
- ✅ Proper error handling
|
||||
|
||||
The system now properly supports user accounts that work across devices and browsers, with secure authentication and session management.
