My application needs to support authentication of 100’s of thousands of clients. I’m uncomfortable with having to manage this many client certs in a directory, as well as the cost in file operations to load these certs into my app.
A solution that would work for me is to be able to register an authentication hook function with zauth, which would call back to my code for authentication. I imagine a new message to the zauth agent, something like “AUTH_HOOK”, passing a pointer to my function which would take the client key as a parameter, and return a bool (true if allowed, false if denied). A typical implementation might be for my function to look up the key in, say, Redis, or some other database. Thoughts? One consideration that immediately leaps out as a problem is cross-language support for such an API.
