This is the LocalStack extension that enables running authentication, user identity, permissions, api key management, and access control in your LocalStack environment via Authress.
This LocalStack extension generates a copy of the Authress API so that the authentication and access management the Authress API provides can be utilized by running services directly in any environment. You can use this to build authentication and authorization directly into your applications and services. Additionally, this extension can be used locally to develop faster without needing an Authress Account.
To install the Authentication & Authorization extension into LocalStack, run
localstack extensions install localstack-extension-authressThe auth extension runs at http://authress.localhost.localstack.cloud:4566.
You can configure API calls to the authorization server by passing this url as the authressApiUrl or the authress_api_url depending on which SDK you are using.
import { AuthressClient } from 'authress-sdk';
const authressClient = new AuthressClient({ authressApiUrl: `http://authress.localhost.localstack.cloud:4566` });
await authressClient.userPermissions.authorizeUser(userId, resourceUri, permission);Review the in depth guides in the Authress Local KB.
