Raw Blame History

Rodauth-OAuth Analysis: Comprehensive Comparison with Clinch's Custom Implementation

Executive Summary

Rodauth-OAuth is a production-ready Ruby gem that implements the OAuth 2.0 framework and OpenID Connect on top of the rodauth authentication library. It's architected as a modular feature-based system that integrates with Roda (a routing library) and provides extensive OAuth/OIDC capabilities.

Your current Clinch implementation is a custom, minimalist Rails-based OIDC provider focusing on the authorization code grant with PKCE support. Switching to rodauth-oauth would provide significantly more features and standards compliance but requires architectural changes.

1. What Rodauth-OAuth Is

Core Identity

  • Type: Ruby gem providing OAuth 2.0 & OpenID Connect implementation
  • Framework: Built on top of rodauth (a dedicated authentication library)
  • Web Framework: Designed for Roda framework (lightweight, routing-focused)
  • Rails Support: Available via rodauth-rails wrapper
  • Maturity: Production-ready, OpenID-Certified for multiple profiles
  • Author: Tiago Cardoso (tiago.cardoso@gmail.com)
  • License: Apache 2.0

Architecture Philosophy

  • Feature-based: Modular "features" that can be enabled/disabled
  • Database-agnostic: Uses Sequel ORM, works with any SQL database
  • Highly configurable: Override methods to customize behavior
  • Standards-focused: Implements RFCs and OpenID specs strictly

4. Architecture: How It Works

As a Plugin System

Rodauth-OAuth integrates with Roda as a plugin:

# This is how you configure it
class AuthServer < Roda
  plugin :rodauth do
    db database_connection
    
    # Enable features
    enable :login, :logout, :create_account, :oidc, :oidc_session_management,
           :oauth_pkce, :oauth_authorization_code_grant
    
    # Configure
    oauth_application_scopes %w[openid email profile]
    oauth_require_pkce true
    hmac_secret "SECRET"
    
    # Customize with blocks
    oauth_jwt_keys("RS256" => [private_key])
    oauth_jwt_public_keys("RS256" => [public_key])
  end
end

Request Flow Architecture

1. Authorization Request
   ↓
   rodauth validates params
   ↓
   (if not auth'd) user logs in via rodauth
   ↓
   (if first use) consent page rendered
   ↓
   create oauth_grant (code, nonce, PKCE challenge, etc.)
   ↓
   redirect with auth code

2. Token Exchange
   ↓
   rodauth validates client (Basic/POST auth)
   ↓
   validates code, redirect_uri, PKCE verifier
   ↓
   creates access token (plain or JWT)
   ↓
   creates refresh token
   ↓
   returns JSON with tokens

3. UserInfo
   ↓
   validate access token
   ↓
   lookup grant/account
   ↓
   return claims as JSON

Feature Composition

Features depend on each other. For example:

  • oidc depends on: active_sessions, oauth_jwt, oauth_jwt_jwks, oauth_authorization_code_grant, oauth_implicit_grant
  • oauth_pkce depends on: oauth_authorization_code_grant
  • oidc_rp_initiated_logout depends on: oidc

This is a strong dependency injection pattern.

Key Differences from Your Implementation

Aspect Your Implementation Rodauth-OAuth
Authorization Codes Separate table In oauth_grants
Access Tokens Separate table In oauth_grants
Refresh Tokens Not implemented In oauth_grants
Token Hashing Not done Bcrypt (default)
Applications Basic (name, client_id, secret) 75+ columns for full spec
PKCE Simple columns Built-in feature
Account Data In users table In accounts table
Session Management Session model Rodauth's account_active_session_keys
User Consent OidcUserConsent table In memory or via hooks

6. Integration Points with Rails

Via Rodauth-Rails Wrapper

Rodauth-OAuth can be used in Rails through the rodauth-rails gem:

# Install generator
gem 'rodauth-rails'
bundle install
rails generate rodauth:install
rails generate rodauth:oauth:install  # Generates OIDC tables/migrations
rails generate rodauth:oauth:views    # Generates templates

Generated Components

  1. Migration: db/migrate/*_create_rodauth_oauth.rb

    • Creates all OAuth tables
    • Customizable column names via config

  2. Models: app/models/

    • RodauthApp (configuration)
    • OauthApplication (client app)
    • OauthGrant (grants/tokens)
    • Customizable!

  3. Views: app/views/rodauth/

    • Authorization consent form
    • Application management dashboard
    • Grant management dashboard

  4. Lib: lib/rodauth_app.rb

    • Main rodauth configuration

Rails Controller Integration

class BooksController < ApplicationController
  before_action :require_oauth_authorization, only: %i[create update]
  before_action :require_oauth_authorization_scopes, only: %i[create update]

  private
  
  def require_oauth_authorization(scope = "books.read")
    rodauth.require_oauth_authorization(scope)
  end
end

Or for route protection:

# config/routes.rb
namespace :api do
  resources :books, only: [:index]  # protected by rodauth
end

    • Rate limiting
    • Additional validation

  6. Advanced OIDC Features

    • Session Management
    • Logout endpoints (front/back-channel)

    • Device code flow

Total Effort: 2-3 months ongoing

10. Key Findings & Recommendations

What Rodauth-OAuth Does Better

    • Certified for 11 OpenID Connect profiles
    • Implements 20+ RFCs and specs
    • Regular spec updates

  2. Security

    • Token hashing by default

    • TLS client auth
    • Proper scope enforcement

  3. Features

    • 34 optional features (you get what you need)
    • No bloat - only enable what you use
    • Mature refresh token handling

  4. Production Readiness

    • Thousands of test cases
    • Open source (auditable)
    • Active maintenance
    • Real-world deployments

  5. Flexibility

    • Works with any SQL database
    • Highly configurable column names
    • Custom behavior via overrides
    • Multiple app types support

What Your Implementation Does Better

  1. Simplicity

    • Fewer dependencies
    • Smaller codebase
    • Easier to reason about

  2. Rails Integration

    • Direct Rails ActiveRecord
    • No Roda learning curve
    • Familiar patterns

  3. Control

    • Full control of every line
    • No surprises
    • Easy to debug

Recommendation

Use Rodauth-OAuth IF:

  • You need a production OIDC/OAuth provider
  • You want standards compliance
  • You plan to support multiple grant types
  • You need token revocation/introspection
  • You want a maintained codebase

Keep Your Custom Implementation IF:

  • Authorization Code + PKCE only is sufficient
  • You're avoiding Roda/Rodauth learning curve
  • Your org standardizes on Rails patterns
  • You have time to add features incrementally
  • You need maximum control and simplicity

Hybrid Approach:

  • Use rodauth-oauth for OIDC/OAuth server components
  • Keep your Rails app for other features
  • They can coexist (separate services)

11. Migration Path (If You Decide to Switch)

Phase 1: Preparation (Week 1-2)

  • Set up separate Roda app with rodauth-oauth
  • Run alongside your existing service
  • Parallel user testing

Phase 2: Data Migration (Week 2-3)

  • Create migration script for oauth_grants table
  • Backfill existing auth codes and tokens
  • Verify data integrity

Phase 3: Gradual Cutover (Week 4-6)

  • Direct some OAuth clients to new server
  • Monitor for issues
  • Swap over when confident

Phase 4: Cleanup (Week 6+)

  • Remove custom OIDC code
  • Decommission old tables
  • Document new architecture

12. Code Examples

Rodauth-OAuth: Minimal Setup

# Gemfile
gem 'roda'
gem 'rodauth-oauth'
gem 'sequel'

# lib/auth_server.rb
class AuthServer < Roda
  plugin :render, views: 'views'
  plugin :sessions, secret: 'SECRET'
  
  plugin :rodauth do
    db DB
    enable :login, :logout, :create_account, :oidc, :oauth_pkce,
           :oauth_authorization_code_grant, :oauth_token_introspection
    
    oauth_application_scopes %w[openid email profile]
    oauth_require_pkce true
    hmac_secret 'HMAC_SECRET'
    
    oauth_jwt_keys('RS256' => [private_key])
  end
  
  route do |r|
    r.rodauth  # All OAuth routes automatically mounted
    
    # Your custom routes
    r.get 'api' do
      rodauth.require_oauth_authorization('api.read')
      # return data
    end
  end
end

Your Current Approach: Manual

# app/controllers/oidc_controller.rb
def authorize
  validate_params
  find_application
  check_authentication
  handle_consent
  generate_code
  redirect_with_code
end

def token
  extract_client_credentials
  find_application
  validate_code
  check_pkce
  generate_tokens
  return_json
end
