Phase 1: Authentication System - Completion Report

Overview

Phase 1 of the Site11 Console project has been successfully completed. This phase establishes a complete authentication system with JWT token-based security for both backend and frontend.

Completion Date: October 28, 2025

What Was Built

1. Backend Authentication API (FastAPI + MongoDB)

Core Features

• User Registration: Create new users with email, username, and password
• User Login: Authenticate users and issue JWT tokens
• Token Management: Access tokens (30 min) and refresh tokens (7 days)
• Protected Endpoints: JWT middleware for secure routes
• Password Security: bcrypt hashing with proper salt handling
• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): User roles (admin, editor, viewer)

Technology Stack

• FastAPI 0.109.0
• MongoDB with Motor (async driver)
• Pydantic v2 for data validation
• python-jose for JWT
• bcrypt 4.1.2 for password hashing

API Endpoints

Method	Endpoint	Description	Auth Required
POST	/api/auth/register	Register new user	No
POST	/api/auth/login	Login and get tokens	No
GET	/api/auth/me	Get current user info	Yes
POST	/api/auth/refresh	Refresh access token	Yes (refresh token)
POST	/api/auth/logout	Logout user	Yes

2. Frontend Authentication UI (React + TypeScript)

Core Features

• Login Page: Material-UI form with validation
• Register Page: User creation with password confirmation
• Auth Context: Global authentication state management
• Protected Routes: Redirect unauthenticated users to login
• Automatic Token Refresh: Intercept 401 and refresh tokens
• User Profile Display: Show username and role in navigation
• Logout Functionality: Clear tokens and redirect to login

Technology Stack

• React 18.2.0
• TypeScript 5.2.2
• Material-UI v5
• React Router v6
• Axios for HTTP requests
• Vite for building

3. Deployment Configuration

Docker Images

Both services are containerized and pushed to Docker Hub:

• Backend: yakenator/site11-console-backend:latest
• Frontend: yakenator/site11-console-frontend:latest

Kubernetes Deployment

Deployed to site11-pipeline namespace with:

• 2 replicas for each service (backend and frontend)
• Service discovery via Kubernetes Services
• Nginx reverse proxy for frontend API routing

Technical Challenges & Solutions

Challenge 1: Bcrypt Password Length Limit

Problem: passlib threw error "password cannot be longer than 72 bytes"

Solution: Replaced passlib[bcrypt] with native bcrypt==4.1.2 library

import bcrypt

def get_password_hash(password: str) -> str:
    password_bytes = password.encode('utf-8')
    salt = bcrypt.gensalt()
    return bcrypt.hashpw(password_bytes, salt).decode('utf-8')

Challenge 2: Pydantic v2 Compatibility

Problem: __modify_schema__ method not supported in Pydantic v2

Solution: Updated to Pydantic v2 patterns:

• Changed __modify_schema__ to __get_pydantic_core_schema__
• Replaced class Config with model_config = ConfigDict(...)
• Updated all models to use new Pydantic v2 syntax

Challenge 3: TypeScript Import.meta.env Types

Problem: TypeScript couldn't recognize import.meta.env.VITE_API_URL

Solution: Created vite-env.d.ts with proper type declarations:

interface ImportMetaEnv {
  readonly VITE_API_URL?: string
}
interface ImportMeta {
  readonly env: ImportMetaEnv
}

Testing Results

Backend API Tests (via curl)

All endpoints tested and working correctly:

✅ User Registration

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/auth/register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email":"test@site11.com","username":"testuser","password":"test123"}'
# Returns: User object with _id, email, username, role

✅ User Login

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/auth/login \
  -d "username=testuser&password=test123"
# Returns: access_token, refresh_token, token_type

✅ Protected Endpoint

curl -X GET http://localhost:8000/api/auth/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>"
# Returns: Current user details with last_login_at

✅ Token Refresh

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/auth/refresh \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"refresh_token":"<refresh_token>"}'
# Returns: New access_token and same refresh_token

✅ Security Validations

• Wrong password → "Incorrect username/email or password"
• No token → "Not authenticated"
• Duplicate email → "Email already registered"

Frontend Tests

✅ Login page renders correctly ✅ Registration form with validation ✅ Protected routes redirect to login ✅ User info displayed in navigation bar ✅ Logout clears session and redirects

   • Health check scheduler
   • Service registry

2. Frontend:

   • Services list page with table
   • Add/Edit service modal
   • Service status indicators
   • Health monitoring dashboard

3. Features:

   • Auto-discovery of services
   • Periodic health checks
   • Service availability statistics
   • Alert notifications

Team Notes

• Code follows FastAPI and React best practices
• All secrets managed via environment variables
• Proper error handling implemented
• API endpoints follow RESTful conventions
• Frontend components are reusable and well-structured
• TypeScript types ensure type safety
