You wrote a very nice write up about this at https://stephank.nl/p/2022-06-20-diridp-replace-access-keys-with-public-key-crypto.html but the documentation here in the repository seems somewhat sparse. Would you consider adding a link to https://stephank.nl/p/2022-06-20-diridp-replace-access-keys-with-public-key-crypto.html to help others find your write up? I had to research you as a developer and then explore your personal site to find it.
...and thank you for DirIdP. I'm currently trying to write it into my authentication service for something I'm building and it fits PERFECTLY with my own designs as I am sticking with the UNIX idea of EVERYTHING being accessed through the file system. If this works, you will have saved me some coding. :)
That sounds cool, glad you're finding a use for it! Let me know how it works out. I'm curious to see what people are building with it. 🙂
I added a link to the blog post, but I find documentation is a hard problem. Diridp itself is supposed to be small, but explaining it requires explaining a bunch of detail about JWTs, OIDC, PKI, file system permissions, web servers, etc. Plus I don't know what people would use it for besides AWS.
I'm not sure I'll get around to improving it myself any time soon, because diridp already sort of does what I want. 🤷♂️
