mu-auth-sudo

NPM package for a SPARQL client for mu.semte.ch that overrules access rights in queries through a mu-auth-sudo header.

Usage

npm install @lblod/mu-auth-sudo

Include the following in your code

import { querySudo as query, updateSudo as update } from '@lblod/mu-auth-sudo';


//Examples

// To run a regular query

const queryString = `SELECT * FROM { GRAPH ?g { ?s ?p ?o. } } LIMIT 1`;
await query(queryString);

// To pass extra headers

const updateString = `INSERT DATA { GRAPH <http://foo> { <http://bar> <http://baz> <http://boom>. } }`;
const extraHeaders = { 'mu-call-scope-id':  'http://foo/bar', 'other-info'; 'hello' };
await update(updateString, extraHeaders);

// With custom connection options (this should be exceptional, make sure you know what you're doing)

const connectionOptions = { sparqlEndpoint: 'http://the.custom.endpoint/sparql', mayRetry: true };

await update(updateString, extraHeaders, connectionOptions);

Logging

The verbosity of logging can be configured as in the javascript template through following environment variables:

• LOG_SPARQL_ALL: Logging of all executed SPARQL queries, read as well as update (default true)
• LOG_SPARQL_QUERIES: Logging of executed SPARQL read queries (default: undefined). Overrules LOG_SPARQL_ALL.
• LOG_SPARQL_UPDATES: Logging of executed SPARQL update queries (default undefined). Overrules LOG_SPARQL_ALL.
• DEBUG_AUTH_HEADERS: Debugging of mu-authorization access-control related headers (default true)

Following values are considered true: ["true", "TRUE", "1"].

Retrying

You can tweak system-wide retry parameters. These should be considered internal, but tweaking them may help in extreme scenarios. Use with extreme caution.

• SUDO_QUERY_RETRY: System-wide configuration to enable the retry-mechanism (default 'false'). Warning: this overules eventual source-code specifications (i.e. connectionOptions = { mayRetry: false }), so make sure you know what you're doing.
• SUDO_QUERY_RETRY_MAX_ATTEMPTS: Specfiy the number of max retry attempts (default: 5)
• SUDO_QUERY_RETRY_FOR_HTTP_STATUS_CODES: Specify what returned HTTP status from the database are allowed for retry. (default: ''). Overriding this list should be considered case by case.
• SUDO_QUERY_RETRY_FOR_CONNECTION_ERRORS: Specify what connection errors are allowed for retry. (default: 'ECONNRESET,ETIMEDOUT,EAI_AGAIN')
• SUDO_QUERY_RETRY_TIMEOUT_INCREMENT_FACTOR: Specify the factor applied to the timeout before the next attempt. Check implementation to see how it is calculated. (default: '0.3')
