lua-resty-aws-auth

Simple lua resty utilities to generate amazon v4 authorization and signature headers.

Installation

Openresty installation should be compiled with --with-luajit directive otherwise you will get an error,

module 'ffi' not found

Install the package using luarocks

#luarocks install lua-resty-aws-auth

Usage

local aws_auth = require "resty.aws-auth"
local config = {
  aws_host       = "email.us-east-1.amazonaws.com",
  aws_key        = "AKIDEXAMPLE",
  aws_secret     = "xxxsecret",
  aws_region     = "us-east-1",
  aws_service    = "ses",
  content_type   = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
  request_method = "POST",
  request_path   = "/",
  request_body   = { hello="world" } -- table of all request params
}

local aws = aws_auth:new(config)

-- get the generated authorization header
-- eg: AWS4-HMAC-SHA256 Credential=AKIDEXAMPLE/20150830/us-east-1/iam/aws4_request,
---    SignedHeaders=content-type;host;x-amz-date, Signature=xxx
local auth = aws:get_authorization_header()

-- get the x-amz-date header
local amz_date = aws:get_amz_date_header()

Add Authorization and x-amz-date header to ngx.req.headers

aws:set_ngx_auth_headers()

For out-of-box experience, use the following docker image:

cd lua-resty-aws-auth
docker build -t lua-resty-aws-auth .
docker run -d --name nginx -p 8080:8080  -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=yourkey -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET=yoursecret -e AWS_HOST=yourhost:port -e AWS_REGION=us-east-1 -e AWS_SERVICE=s3 lua-resty-aws-auth

the Dockerfile works both with arm64 and amd64 architectures. then you can test the aws service by accessing localhost:8080. Remember to replace the environment variables with your own aws credentials.

actually the backend service can be any s3 compatible service, not only from aws, minio, ceph etc.
