🎯 Architecture

Request Flow

API Gateway → Lambda → Express App → Middleware Chain → Route Handler
                                      ↓
                         [RequestID → CORS → BodyParser → Logger]
                                      ↓
                         Route Handler (with asyncHandler wrapper)
                                      ↓
                         Error Handler (global catch)

Middleware Chain

  1. Request ID: Generates unique ID for request tracking
  2. CORS: Handles cross-origin requests
  3. Body Parser: Parses JSON with size limits
  4. Request Logger: Logs request details
  5. Route Handlers: Process auth operations
  6. Error Handler: Catches and formats all errors

🔧 Setup

Key Features

  • Node.js 18+
  • AWS CLI configured with appropriate credentials
  • Neo4j database (AuraDB or self-hosted)
  • GitHub repository with Actions enabled

Installation

  1. Clone and install:
git clone https://github.com/firstlovecenter/fl-auth-lambda.git
cd fl-auth-lambda
npm install
  1. Configure AWS Secrets Manager:

Create production secret:

aws secretsmanager create-secret \
  --name fl-auth-service-secrets \
  --secret-string '{
    "JWT_SECRET": "your-strong-jwt-secret-min-32-chars",
    "PEPPER": "your-pepper-string-for-password-hashing",
    "NEO4J_URI": "neo4j+s://your-instance.databases.neo4j.io",
    "NEO4J_USER": "neo4j",
    "NEO4J_PASSWORD": "your-neo4j-password",
    "NOTIFICATION_SECRET_KEY": "your-notification-service-key",
    "ENVIRONMENT": "production"
  }' \
  --region eu-west-2

Create development secret:

aws secretsmanager create-secret \
  --name dev-fl-auth-service-secrets \
  --secret-string '{
    "JWT_SECRET": "your-dev-jwt-secret",
    "PEPPER": "your-dev-pepper",
    "NEO4J_URI": "neo4j+s://your-dev-instance.databases.neo4j.io",
    "NEO4J_USER": "neo4j",
    "NEO4J_PASSWORD": "your-dev-password",
    "NOTIFICATION_SECRET_KEY": "your-notification-service-key",
    "ENVIRONMENT": "development"
  }' \
  --region eu-west-2

See SECRETS_MANAGER_SETUP.md for detailed instructions.

  1. Configure IAM Permissions:

Ensure Lambda execution role has:

  • SecretsManager read access
  • Lambda invoke permission for notification service

See AWS_SETUP_NOTIFICATION.md for IAM setup.

  1. Build:
npm run build

🚢 Deployment

Automated Deployment (Recommended)

Push to GitHub to trigger automatic deployment:

# Deploy to production
git push origin main

# Deploy to development
git checkout dev
git merge main
git push origin dev

The GitHub Actions workflow automatically:

  • Determines environment from branch
  • Installs dependencies
  • Builds TypeScript
  • Packages Lambda function
  • Deploys to appropriate environment

See DEPLOYMENT.md for details.

Manual Deployment

# Deploy to production
serverless deploy --stage prod

# Deploy to development
serverless deploy --stage dev

📡 API Endpoints

Base URL: https://your-api-gateway-url

1. Signup

POST /auth/signup
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "password": "SecurePass123!",
  "firstName": "John",
  "lastName": "Doe"
}

Response:

{
  "message": "User created successfully",
  "user": {
    "id": "uuid",
    "email": "user@example.com"
  }
}

Sends welcome email automatically.

2. Login

POST /auth/login
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "password": "SecurePass123!"
}

Response:

{
  "message": "Login successful",
  "accessToken": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...",
  "refreshToken": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...",
  "user": {
    "id": "uuid",
    "email": "user@example.com",
    "firstName": "John",
    "lastName": "Doe"
  }
}

3. Forgot Password

POST /auth/forgot-password
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "email": "user@example.com"
}

Response (always 200):

{
  "message": "If an account exists with this email, you'll receive a reset link shortly"
}

What Happens:

  1. ✅ Rate limit check (email): 3 per hour
  2. ✅ Rate limit check (IP): 10 per hour
  3. ✅ Timing-safe delay: 150-300ms (masks database lookup)
  4. ✅ If email exists: Send reset email (silent to client)
  5. ✅ If email doesn't exist: Log only, no email sent (silent to client)
  6. ✅ Always return same generic response

Why: Attacker cannot determine if email exists, even after timing analysis.

4. Refresh Token

POST /auth/refresh-token
Content-Type: application/json

Response:

{
  "message": "Token refreshed successfully",
  "accessToken": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...",
  "refreshToken": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs..."
}

5. Setup Password

POST /auth/setup-password
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "token": "setup-token-from-email",
  "password": "NewSecurePass123!"
}

For migrated users setting their password for the first time.

6. Reset Password

POST /auth/reset-password
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "currentPassword": "OldPassword123!",
  "newPassword": "NewPassword123!",
  "confirmPassword": "NewPassword123!"
}

Sends password reset confirmation email.

7. Delete Account

DELETE /auth/delete-account
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...",
  "confirmDeletion": true
}

Sends account deletion confirmation email.

🔒 Security Features

Password Security

  • bcrypt hashing: 12 rounds (computationally expensive)
  • Pepper: Additional secret layer beyond salt
  • Async operations: Non-blocking password operations
  • Minimum length: 8 characters enforced

JWT Tokens

  • Access tokens: 30-minute expiration
  • Refresh tokens: 7-day expiration
  • Async signing/verification: Loaded from Secrets Manager
  • HS256 algorithm: Industry standard

Input Validation

  • Zod schemas: Type-safe request validation
  • Email validation: RFC-compliant email checking
  • Password requirements: Enforced minimums
  • Request size limits: 100kb limit on body parser

Infrastructure Security

  • AWS Secrets Manager: No secrets in code or environment variables
  • Secret caching: Reduces API calls, improves performance
  • IAM roles: Principle of least privilege
  • HTTPS only: API Gateway enforces SSL/TLS

📧 Email Notifications

The service integrates with FLC Notify Service Lambda for transactional emails:

Event Email Sent
Signup Welcome email with account confirmation
Password Reset Password change confirmation
Account Deletion Account deletion confirmation

Emails are sent asynchronously (non-blocking). Failed emails are logged but don't fail the request.

See NOTIFICATION_SERVICE.md for details.

🌍 Environment Management

Production Environment

  • Branch: main
  • Lambda: fl-auth-service-lambda
  • Secret: fl-auth-service-secrets
  • Notification Lambda: flc-notify-service

Development Environment

  • Branch: dev
  • Lambda: dev-fl-auth-service-lambda
  • Secret: dev-fl-auth-service-secrets
  • Notification Lambda: dev-flc-notify-service

Environment is determined by the ENVIRONMENT value in AWS Secrets Manager ("production" or "development").

🗄️ Database Schema

Neo4j graph database with dual-label nodes:

(:Member:User {
  id: String (UUID) - Only one ID needed,
  email: String (unique, indexed),
  password: String (bcrypt hashed, can be NULL for migrated users),
  firstName: String,
  lastName: String,
  createdAt: DateTime,
  updatedAt: DateTime,
  lastLoginAt: DateTime
})

Label Meanings

  • :Member: All users created through signup (legacy and new)
  • :User: Authenticated users with the new label system (post-migration)

After Migration: All nodes have both labels. The User label is what auth routes query.

Properties

Property Type Description Notes
id UUID (String) Unique user identifier Only ID needed (no auth_id)
email String User email address Unique, indexed for fast lookup
password String (nullable) bcrypt hashed password NULL for users needing password setup
firstName String User first name Optional
lastName String User last name Optional
createdAt DateTime Account creation timestamp Set on signup
updatedAt DateTime Last profile update Updated on password change
lastLoginAt DateTime Last successful login Updated on login

Required Indexes

CREATE CONSTRAINT member_email_unique IF NOT EXISTS
FOR (m:Member) REQUIRE m.email IS UNIQUE;

CREATE INDEX member_id IF NOT EXISTS
FOR (m:Member) ON (m.id);

CREATE INDEX user_id IF NOT EXISTS
FOR (u:User) ON (u.id);

CREATE INDEX user_email IF NOT EXISTS
FOR (u:User) ON (u.email);

Migration Info

After running the migration script:

# All Members should have User label
MATCH (m:Member)
WHERE NOT m:User
RETURN count(m)  -- Should return 0

Error Response Format

{
  "error": "Error message",
  "statusCode": 400,
  "requestId": "uuid"
}

Common Error Codes

Code Meaning Example
400 Bad Request Invalid email format
401 Unauthorized Invalid credentials
404 Not Found User not found
409 Conflict Email already exists
500 Server Error Database connection failed

📚 Additional Documentation

🛠️ Development

Local Development

The service runs on AWS Lambda and uses AWS services, so local development requires:

  1. AWS credentials configured
  2. Access to Neo4j database
  3. AWS Secrets Manager access

Project Scripts

npm run build          # Compile TypeScript
npm run deploy         # Deploy to AWS
npm test              # Run tests
npm run lint          # Lint code

Adding New Routes

  1. Create route handler in src/routes/
  2. Import and register in src/app.ts
  3. Add Zod validation schema
  4. Update this README with endpoint documentation

Example:

// src/routes/newRoute.ts
import { Request, Response } from 'express'
import { asyncHandler } from '../middleware/errorHandler'

export const newRoute = asyncHandler(async (req: Request, res: Response) => {
  // Your logic here
  res.json({ message: 'Success' })
})

// src/app.ts
import { newRoute } from './routes/newRoute'
app.post('/auth/new-route', newRoute)

🤝 Contributing

  • v1.0.0: Initial Express.js implementation with 7 routes
  • v1.1.0: AWS Secrets Manager integration
  • v1.2.0: Email notification service integration

Rate Limiting

In-Memory Store (current):

  • 3 attempts per email per hour
  • 10 attempts per IP per hour
  • Exponential backoff on limit hit

Production Upgrade: Move to Redis for distributed rate limiting

Timing-Safe Delays

// All forgot-password requests delayed by random amount
await constantTimeDelay(150, 300) // 150-300ms random

Why: Prevents timing attacks that distinguish between:

  • "Email not found" (fast) vs "Email found" (slow)

Audit Logging

Every security event logged to CloudWatch:

{
  "event": "forgot_password_attempt",
  "email": "[REDACTED]",
  "ipAddress": "203.0.113.45",
  "timestamp": "2026-01-30T12:34:56Z",
  "rateLimitStatus": "allowed",
  "action": "email_sent"
}

Frontend Integration

Forgot Password Page

// /pages/forgot-password
const handleSubmit = async (email: string) => {
  const response = await fetch('/api/forgot-password', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({ email }),
  })

  // Always show same message (never tell if email exists)
  showMessage(
    'If an account exists with this email, you will receive a reset link',
  )
}

Reset Password Page

// /pages/reset-password?token=...
const handleReset = async (token: string, newPassword: string) => {
  const response = await fetch('/api/reset-password', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({ reset_token: token, password: newPassword }),
  })

  if (response.ok) {
    // Login successful, redirect to dashboard
    redirect('/dashboard')
  } else {
    // Invalid/expired token
    showError('Reset link invalid or expired')
  }
}

Troubleshooting

Forgot Password Returning 400

Check:
1. Email format valid (email validation in Zod schema)
2. JSON payload correct: { "email": "user@example.com" }
3. Content-Type header: application/json

Emails Not Arriving

Check:
1. FROM_EMAIL verified in AWS SES
2. APP_URL correct in email template
3. Check AWS SES send quota not exceeded
4. Check spam folder
5. CloudWatch logs for send_failed events

Rate Limit Hitting Too Early

Check:
1. Multiple users from same IP? (residential internet)
2. Distributed attack? (check CloudWatch logs)
3. Normal test traffic? (adjust test to wait between attempts)

To adjust limits, modify src/utils/security.ts:
- FORGOT_PASSWORD_LIMIT = 3 (email limit)
- IP_LIMIT = 10 (IP limit)

Timing Not Constant (< 150ms or > 300ms)

Check:
1. Database latency? (check Neo4j slowlog)
2. Email service latency? (check AWS SES metrics)
3. Lambda memory sufficient? (1024MB+ recommended)
4. Cold start? (use provisioned concurrency for consistent timing)
