ZB.MOM.WW.Auth

Authentication and authorisation libraries for the ZB.MOM.WW SCADA family (OtOpcUa, MxAccessGateway, ScadaBridge). These are libraries, not a service — each package is linked directly into the consuming application at build time. There is no central authentication process or network hop; auth logic runs in-process alongside the application.

Packages

Package	Description	Key Dependencies
ZB.MOM.WW.Auth.Abstractions	Auth contracts, canonical role constants, and shared types (LdapOptions, LdapAuthResult, ILdapAuthService, IApiKeyStore). No runtime dependencies beyond the BCL.	—
ZB.MOM.WW.Auth.Ldap	LDAP authentication service: bind-then-search-then-bind against GLAuth or Active Directory; RFC 4514-aware group extraction; fail-closed.	Abstractions, Novell.Directory.Ldap.NETStandard
ZB.MOM.WW.Auth.ApiKeys	SQLite-backed API-key store with pepper-keyed HMAC-SHA256 secret hashing, rotation, and audit log. DI wiring is AddZbApiKeyAuth; an opt-in MigrationHostedService runs schema migrations on startup.	Abstractions, Microsoft.Data.Sqlite
ZB.MOM.WW.Auth.AspNetCore	ASP.NET Core wiring for the LDAP provider only: AddZbLdapAuth (binds + start-time-validates LdapOptions, registers ILdapAuthService), plus ZbCookieDefaults.Apply (hardened cookie helper the consumer calls itself) and ZbClaimTypes constants. It does not wire API keys or cookie middleware — API-key DI is AddZbApiKeyAuth in the ApiKeys package.	Abstractions, Ldap, Microsoft.AspNetCore.App

Consumer Matrix

Consumer	Abstractions	Ldap	ApiKeys	AspNetCore
OtOpcUa	yes	yes	—	yes
MxAccessGateway	yes	yes	yes	yes
ScadaBridge	yes	yes	yes	yes

ApiKeys is NOT used by OtOpcUa (that app authenticates human operators via LDAP + cookies only; machine-to-machine access is out of scope).

Versioning

All four packages are versioned lockstep from Directory.Build.props. The current release is 0.1.0. A single version bump in Directory.Build.props bumps all four packages simultaneously — consumers should reference the same version for all ZB.MOM.WW.Auth packages.

Running the opt-in LDAP integration test

The GLAuth integration test (GLAuthIntegrationTests) is skipped by default and does not affect the normal test run. To exercise it against a live GLAuth instance:

1. Start the GLAuth Docker stack from the sibling repo:

   cd ~/Desktop/ScadaBridge/infra/glauth
   docker compose up -d
   

2. Set the required environment variables and run the test:

   export ZB_LDAP_IT=1
   export ZB_LDAP_SVC_DN="cn=svc,dc=lmxopcua,dc=local"
   export ZB_LDAP_SVC_PW="svcpass"
   export ZB_LDAP_USER="alice"
   export ZB_LDAP_PW="alicepass"
   
   dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.Auth.Ldap.Tests \
     --filter "FullyQualifiedName~GLAuthIntegrationTests"
   

All other variables (ZB_LDAP_SERVER, ZB_LDAP_PORT, ZB_LDAP_BASE, ZB_LDAP_USERATTR) default to sensible GLAuth values and are optional. The test also probes TCP reachability before attempting auth and skips if the server is not contactable.

Publishing packages

Use build/push.sh to pack and push to the Gitea NuGet feed:

export GITEA_NUGET_SOURCE="https://gitea.dohertylan.com/api/packages/dohertj2/nuget/index.json"
export GITEA_NUGET_KEY="your-gitea-token"
./build/push.sh

The script runs dotnet pack -c Release then dotnet nuget push --skip-duplicate.
