Documentation Scope

Welcome to the official documentation for the Auth Service's REST API. This document is designed to provide a comprehensive guide to interfacing with our Auth Service exclusively through RESTful API endpoints.

Intended Audience

This documentation is intended for developers and integrators who are looking to interact with the Auth Service via HTTP requests for purposes such as creating, updating, deleting and querying Auth objects.

Overview

Within these pages, you will find detailed information on how to effectively utilize the REST API, including authentication methods, request and response formats, endpoint descriptions, and examples of common use cases.

Beyond REST It's important to note that the Auth Service also supports alternative methods of interaction, such as gRPC and messaging via a Message Broker. These communication methods are beyond the scope of this document. For information regarding these protocols, please refer to their respective documentation.

Authentication And Authorization

To ensure secure access to the Auth service's protected endpoints, a project-wide access token is required. This token serves as the primary method for authenticating requests to our service. However, it's important to note that access control varies across different routes:

Protected API: Certain API (routes) require specific authorization levels. Access to these routes is contingent upon the possession of a valid access token that meets the route-specific authorization criteria. Unauthorized requests to these routes will be rejected.

**Public API **: The service also includes public API (routes) that are accessible without authentication. These public endpoints are designed for open access and do not require an access token.

Token Locations

When including your access token in a request, ensure it is placed in one of the following specified locations. The service will sequentially search these locations for the token, utilizing the first one it encounters.

Please ensure the token is correctly placed in one of these locations, using the appropriate label as indicated. The service prioritizes these locations in the order listed, processing the first token it successfully identifies.

Api Definitions

This section outlines the API endpoints available within the Auth service. Each endpoint can receive parameters through various methods, meticulously described in the following definitions. It's important to understand the flexibility in how parameters can be included in requests to effectively interact with the Auth service.

This service is configured to listen for HTTP requests on port 3011, serving both the main API interface and default administrative endpoints.

The following routes are available by default:

• API Test Interface (API Face): /
• Swagger Documentation: /swagger
• Postman Collection Download: /getPostmanCollection
• Health Checks: /health and /admin/health
• Current Session Info: /currentuser
• Favicon: /favicon.ico

This service is accessible via the following environment-specific URLs:

• Preview: https://linkedin.prw.mindbricks.com/auth-api
• Staging: https://linkedin-stage.mindbricks.co/auth-api
• Production: https://linkedin.mindbricks.co/auth-api

Parameter Inclusion Methods: Parameters can be incorporated into API requests in several ways, each with its designated location. Understanding these methods is crucial for correctly constructing your requests:

Query Parameters: Included directly in the URL's query string.

Path Parameters: Embedded within the URL's path.

Body Parameters: Sent within the JSON body of the request.

Session Parameters: Automatically read from the session object. This method is used for parameters that are intrinsic to the user's session, such as userId. When using an API that involves session parameters, you can omit these from your request. The service will automatically bind them to the API layer, provided that a session is associated with your request.

Note on Session Parameters: Session parameters represent a unique method of parameter inclusion, relying on the context of the user's session. A common example of a session parameter is userId, which the service automatically associates with your request when a session exists. This feature ensures seamless integration of user-specific data without manual input for each request.

By adhering to the specified parameter inclusion methods, you can effectively utilize the Auth service's API endpoints. For detailed information on each endpoint, including required parameters and their accepted locations, refer to the individual API definitions below.

Common Parameters

The Auth service's business API support several common parameters designed to modify and enhance the behavior of API requests. These parameters are not individually listed in the API route definitions to avoid repetition. Instead, refer to this section to understand how to leverage these common behaviors across different routes. Note that all common parameters should be included in the query part of the URL.

Supported Common Parameters:

• getJoins (BOOLEAN): Controls whether to retrieve associated objects along with the main object. By default, getJoins is assumed to be true. Set it to false if you prefer to receive only the main fields of an object, excluding its associations.

• excludeCQRS (BOOLEAN): Applicable only when getJoins is true. By default, excludeCQRS is set to false. Enabling this parameter (true) omits non-local associations, which are typically more resource-intensive as they require querying external services like ElasticSearch for additional information. Use this to optimize response times and resource usage.

• requestId (String): Identifies a request to enable tracking through the service's log chain. A random hex string of 32 characters is assigned by default. If you wish to use a custom requestId, simply include it in your query parameters.

• caching (BOOLEAN): Determines the use of caching for query API. By default, caching is enabled (true). To ensure the freshest data directly from the database, set this parameter to false, bypassing the cache.

• cacheTTL (Integer): Specifies the Time-To-Live (TTL) for query caching, in seconds. This is particularly useful for adjusting the default caching duration (5 minutes) for get list queries. Setting a custom cacheTTL allows you to fine-tune the cache lifespan to meet your needs.

• pageNumber (Integer): For paginated get list API's, this parameter selects which page of results to retrieve. The default is 1, indicating the first page. To disable pagination and retrieve all results, set pageNumber to 0.

• pageRowCount (Integer): In conjunction with paginated API's, this parameter defines the number of records per page. The default value is 25. Adjusting pageRowCount allows you to control the volume of data returned in a single request.

By utilizing these common parameters, you can tailor the behavior of API requests to suit your specific requirements, ensuring optimal performance and usability of the Auth service.

Error Response

If a request encounters an issue, whether due to a logical fault or a technical problem, the service responds with a standardized JSON error structure. The HTTP status code within this response indicates the nature of the error, utilizing commonly recognized codes for clarity:

• 400 Bad Request: The request was improperly formatted or contained invalid parameters, preventing the server from processing it.
• 401 Unauthorized: The request lacked valid authentication credentials or the credentials provided do not grant access to the requested resource.
• 404 Not Found: The requested resource was not found on the server.
• 500 Internal Server Error: The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.

Each error response is structured to provide meaningful insight into the problem, assisting in diagnosing and resolving issues efficiently.

{
  "result": "ERR",
  "status": 400,
  "message": "errMsg_organizationIdisNotAValidID",
  "errCode": 400,
  "date": "2024-03-19T12:13:54.124Z",
  "detail": "String"
}

Object Structure of a Successfull Response

When the Auth service processes requests successfully, it wraps the requested resource(s) within a JSON envelope. This envelope not only contains the data but also includes essential metadata, such as configuration details and pagination information, to enrich the response and provide context to the client.

Key Characteristics of the Response Envelope:

• Data Presentation: Depending on the nature of the request, the service returns either a single data object or an array of objects encapsulated within the JSON envelope.

  • Creation and Update API: These API routes return the unmodified (pure) form of the data object(s), without any associations to other data objects.
  • Delete API: Even though the data is removed from the database, the last known state of the data object(s) is returned in its pure form.
  • Get Requests: A single data object is returned in JSON format.
  • Get List Requests: An array of data objects is provided, reflecting a collection of resources.

• Data Structure and Joins: The complexity of the data structure in the response can vary based on the API's architectural design and the join options specified in the request. The architecture might inherently limit join operations, or they might be dynamically controlled through query parameters.

  • Pure Data Forms: In some cases, the response mirrors the exact structure found in the primary data table, without extensions.
  • Extended Data Forms: Alternatively, responses might include data extended through joins with tables within the same service or aggregated from external sources, such as ElasticSearch indices related to other services.
  • Join Varieties: The extensions might involve one-to-one joins, resulting in single object associations, or one-to-many joins, leading to an array of objects. In certain instances, the data might even feature nested inclusions from other data objects.

Design Considerations: The structure of a API's response data is meticulously crafted during the service's architectural planning. This design ensures that responses adequately reflect the intended data relationships and service logic, providing clients with rich and meaningful information.

Brief Data: Certain API's return a condensed version of the object data, intentionally selecting only specific fields deemed useful for that request. In such instances, the API documentation will detail the properties included in the response, guiding developers on what to expect.

API Response Structure

The API utilizes a standardized JSON envelope to encapsulate responses. This envelope is designed to consistently deliver both the requested data and essential metadata, ensuring that clients can efficiently interpret and utilize the response.

HTTP Status Codes:

• 200 OK: This status code is returned for successful GET, LIST, UPDATE, or DELETE operations, indicating that the request has been processed successfully.
• 201 Created: This status code is specific to CREATE operations, signifying that the requested resource has been successfully created.

Success Response Format:

For successful operations, the response includes a "status": "OK" property, signaling the successful execution of the request. The structure of a successful response is outlined below:

{
  "status":"OK",
  "statusCode": 200,   
  "elapsedMs":126,
  "ssoTime":120,
  "source": "db",
  "cacheKey": "hexCode",
  "userId": "ID",
  "sessionId": "ID",
  "requestId": "ID",
  "dataName":"products",
  "method":"GET",
  "action":"list",
  "appVersion":"Version",
  "rowCount":3
  "products":[{},{},{}],
  "paging": {
    "pageNumber":1, 
    "pageRowCount":25, 
    "totalRowCount":3,
    "pageCount":1
  },
  "filters": [],
  "uiPermissions": []
}

• products: In this example, this key contains the actual response content, which may be a single object or an array of objects depending on the operation performed.

Handling Errors:

For details on handling error scenarios and understanding the structure of error responses, please refer to the "Error Response" section provided earlier in this documentation. It outlines how error conditions are communicated, including the use of HTTP status codes and standardized JSON structures for error messages.

The registerUser api has got 4 parameters

To access the api you can use the REST controller with the path POST /v1/registeruser

  axios({
    method: 'POST',
    url: '/v1/registeruser',
    data: {
            avatar:"String",  
            password:"String",  
            fullname:"String",  
            email:"String",  
    
    },
    params: {
    
    }
  });

The API response is encapsulated within a JSON envelope. Successful operations return an HTTP status code of 200 for get, list, update, or delete requests, and 201 for create requests. Each successful response includes a "status": "OK" property. For error handling, refer to the "Error Response" section.

Following JSON represents the most comprehensive form of the user object in the respones. However, some properties may be omitted based on the object's internal logic.

{"status":"OK","statusCode":"201","elapsedMs":126,"ssoTime":120,"source":"db","cacheKey":"hexCode","userId":"ID","sessionId":"ID","requestId":"ID","dataName":"user","method":"POST","action":"create","appVersion":"Version","rowCount":1,"user":{"id":"ID","email":"String","password":"String","fullname":"String","avatar":"String","roleId":"String","emailVerified":"Boolean","isActive":true,"recordVersion":"Integer","createdAt":"Date","updatedAt":"Date","_owner":"ID"}}

For a detailed description of the `` api with its internal and inter-service logic please refer to the Business API Specification Document For Register User.

Authentication Specific Routes

Route: login

Route Definition: Handles the login process by verifying user credentials and generating an authenticated session.

Route Type: login

Access Routes:

• GET /login: Returns the HTML login page (not a frontend module, typically used in browser-based contexts for test purpose to make sending POST /login easier).
• POST /login: Accepts credentials, verifies the user, creates a session, and returns a JWT access token.

Parameters

Notes

• This route accepts login credentials and creates an authenticated session if credentials are valid.
• On success, the response will:
  • Set a cookie named projectname-access-token[-tenantCodename] with the JWT token.
  • Include the token in the response headers under the same name.
  • Return the full session object in the JSON body.
  • Note that username parameter should have the email of the user as value. You can also send an email parameter instead of username parameter. If both sent only username parameter will be read.

// Sample POST /login call
axios.post("/login", {
  username: "user@example.com",
  password: "securePassword"
});

Success Response

Returns the authenticated session object with a status code 200 OK.

A secure HTTP-only cookie and an access token header are included in the response.

{
  "userId": "d92b9d4c-9b1e-4e95-842e-3fb9c8c1df38",
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "fullname": "John Doe",
  ...
}

Error Responses

• 401 Unauthorized: Invalid username or password.
• 403 Forbidden: Login attempt rejected due to pending email/mobile verification or 2FA requirements.
• 400 Bad Request: Missing credentials in the request.

Route: logout

Route Definition: Logs the user out by terminating the current session and clearing the access token.

Route Type: logout

Access Route: POST /logout

Parameters

This route does not require any parameters in the body or query.

Behavior

• Invalidates the current session on the server (if stored).
• Clears the access token cookie (projectname-access-token[-tenantCodename]) from the client.
• Responds with a 200 status and a simple confirmation object.

// Sample POST /logout call
axios.post("/logout", {}, {
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer your-jwt-token"
  }
});

Notes

• This route is public, meaning it can be called without a session or token.
• If the session is active, the server will clear associated session state and cookies.
• The logout behavior may vary slightly depending on whether you're using cookie-based or header-based token management.

Error Responses 00200 OK:** Always returned, regardless of whether a session existed. Logout is treated as idempotent.

Route: publickey

Route Definition: Returns the public RSA key used to verify JWT access tokens issued by the auth service.

Route Type: publicKeyFetch

Access Route: GET /publickey

Parameters

• keyId is optional.
  If provided, retrieves the public key corresponding to the specific keyId.
  If omitted, retrieves the current active public key (global.currentKeyId).

Behavior

• Reads the requested RSA public key file from the server filesystem.
• If the key exists, returns it along with its keyId.
• If the key does not exist, returns a 404 error.

// Sample GET /publickey call
axios.get("/publickey", {
  params: {
    keyId: "currentKeyIdOptional"
  }
});

Success Response Returns the active public key and its associated keyId.

{
    "keyId": "a1b2c3d4",
    "keyData": "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\nMIIBIjANBgkqhki...\n-----END PUBLIC KEY-----"
}

Error Responses 404 Not Found: Public key file could not be found on the server.

Token Key Management

Mindbricks uses RSA key pairs to sign and verify JWT access tokens securely.
While the auth service signs each token with a private key, other services within the system — or external clients — need the corresponding public key to verify the authenticity and integrity of received tokens.

The /publickey endpoint allows services and clients to dynamically fetch the currently active public key, ensuring that token verification remains secure even if key rotation is performed.

Note:
The /publickey route is not intended for direct frontend (browser) consumption.
Instead, it is primarily used by trusted backend services, APIs, or middleware systems that need to independently verify access tokens issued by the auth service — without making verification-dependent API calls to the auth service itself.

Accessing the public key is crucial for validating user sessions efficiently and maintaining a decentralized trust model across your platform.

Route: relogin

Route Definition: Performs a silent login by verifying the current access token, refreshing the session, and returning a new access token along with updated user information.

Route Type: sessionRefresh

Access Route: GET /relogin

Parameters

This route does not require any request parameters.

Behavior

• Validates the access token associated with the request.
• If the token is valid:
  • Re-authenticates the user using the session's user ID.
  • Fetches the most up-to-date user information from the database.
  • Generates a new session object with a new session ID and new access token.
• If the token is invalid or missing, returns a 401 Unauthorized error.

// Example call to refresh session
axios.get("/relogin", {
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer your-jwt-token"
  }
});

Success Response Returns a new session object, refreshed from database data.

{
  "sessionId": "new-session-uuid",
  "userId": "user-uuid",
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "roleId": "admin",
  "accessToken": "new-jwt-token",
  ...
}

Error Responses

• 401 Unauthorized: Token is missing, invalid, or session cannot be re-established.

{
  "status": "ERR",
  "message": "Cannot relogin"
}

Notes

• The /relogin route is commonly used for silent login flows, especially after page reloads or token-based auto-login mechanisms.
• It triggers internal logic (req.userAuthUpdate = true) to signal that the session should be re-initialized and repopulated.
• It is not a simple session lookup — it performs a fresh authentication pass using the session's user context.
• The refreshed session ensures any updates to user profile, roles, or permissions are immediately reflected.

Tip: This route is ideal when you want to rebuild a user's session in the frontend without requiring them to manually log in again.

Verification Services — Email Verification

Email verification is a two-step flow that ensures a user's email address is verified and trusted by the system.

All verification services, including email verification, are located under the /verification-services base path.

Verification Method Types

🧾 For byCode Verifications

This verification type requires the user to manually enter a 6-digit code.

Frontend Action:
Display a secure input page where the user can enter the code they received via email or SMS. After collecting the code and any required metadata (such as userId or sessionId), make a POST request to the corresponding /complete endpoint.

🔗 For byLink Verifications

This verification type uses a clickable link embedded in an email (or SMS message).

Frontend Action:
The link points to a GET page in your frontend that parses userId and code from the query string and sends them to the backend via a POST request to the corresponding /complete endpoint. This enables one-click verification without requiring the user to type in a code.

Each object reflects a single permission grant, aligned with the givenPermissions model:

• **permissionName**: The permission the user has.
• **roleId**: If the permission was granted through a role. - **subjectUserId**: If directly granted to the user.
• **subjectUserGroupId**: If granted through a group.
• **objectId**: If tied to a specific object (OBAC).
• **canDo**: True or false flag to represent if permission is active or restricted.

Error Responses

• 401 Unauthorized: No active session found.

{
  "status": "ERR",
  "message": "No login found"
}

• 500 Internal Server Error: Unexpected error fetching permissions.

Notes

• The /permissions route is available across all backend services generated by Mindbricks, not just the auth service.
• Auth service: Fetches permissions freshly from the live database (givenPermissions table).
• Other services: Typically use a cached or projected view of permissions stored in a common ElasticSearch store, optimized for faster authorization checks.

Tip: Applications can cache permission results client-side or server-side, but should occasionally refresh by calling this endpoint, especially after login or permission-changing operations.

Route: permissions/:permissionName

Route Definition: Checks whether the current user has access to a specific permission, and provides a list of scoped object exceptions or inclusions.

Route Type: permissionScopeCheck

Access Route: GET /permissions/:permissionName

Parameters

Behavior

• Evaluates whether the current user has access to the given permissionName.
• Returns a structured object indicating:
  • Whether the permission is generally granted (canDo)
  • Which object IDs are explicitly included or excluded from access (exceptions)
• Requires a valid session (access token).

// Sample GET /permissions/orders.manage
axios.get("/permissions/orders.manage", {
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer your-jwt-token"
  }
});

Success Response

{
  "canDo": true,
  "exceptions": [
    "a1f2e3d4-xxxx-yyyy-zzzz-object1",
    "b2c3d4e5-xxxx-yyyy-zzzz-object2"
  ]
}

• If canDo is true, the user generally has the permission, but not for the objects listed in exceptions (i.e., restrictions).
• If canDo is false, the user does not have the permission by default — but only for the objects in exceptions, they do have permission (i.e., selective overrides).
• The exceptions array contains valid UUID strings, each corresponding to an object ID (typically from the data model targeted by the permission).
