JWTRefreshTokenBundle

The purpose of this bundle is manage refresh tokens with JWT (Json Web Tokens) in an easy way. This bundles uses LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle. Supports Doctrine ORM/ODM.

Prerequisites

This bundle requires PHP 7.4 or later and Symfony 4.4, 5.4, or 6.0+.

For support with older Symfony versions, please use the 0.12 release.

Protip: Though the bundle doesn't force you to do so, it is highly recommended to use HTTPS.

Installation

Step 1: Download the Bundle

You must also install either the Doctrine ORM or MongoDB ODM, these packages are not installed automatically with this bundle. Failing to do so may trigger errors on installation.

If using Symfony 4.4, you will also need to install the symfony/security-guard package, it is only required for the legacy authentication API and is not compatible with Symfony 6.0.

With Doctrine's ORM

composer require doctrine/orm doctrine/doctrine-bundle gesdinet/jwt-refresh-token-bundle

With Doctrine's MongoDB ODM

composer require doctrine/mongodb-odm doctrine/mongodb-odm-bundle gesdinet/jwt-refresh-token-bundle

Or, manually edit your project's composer.json file to add the required packages:

{
  "require": {
    "doctrine/doctrine-bundle": "^2.0",
    "doctrine/mongodb-odm": "^2.0",
    "doctrine/mongodb-odm-bundle": "^4.0",
    "doctrine/orm": "^2.7",
    "gesdinet/jwt-refresh-token-bundle": "^1.0"
  }
}

Alternatively, a custom persistence layer can be used.

For that purpose, you must:

provide an implementation of Doctrine\Persistence\ObjectManager
configure the bundle to use your object manager

Step 2: Enable the Bundle

Symfony Flex Application

For an application using Symfony Flex the bundle should be automatically registered, but if not you will need to add it to your config/bundles.php file.

<?php

return [
    //...
    Gesdinet\JWTRefreshTokenBundle\GesdinetJWTRefreshTokenBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Step 3: Configure the Bundle

Symfony Flex Application

For an application using Symfony Flex, a recipe should have been applied to your application. If not, you will need to make the following changes:

Configure the refresh token class. Create the config/packages/gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token.yaml file with the below contents:

gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token:
    refresh_token_class: App\Entity\RefreshToken # This is the class name of the refresh token, you will need to adjust this to match the class your application will use

Create the object class.

If you are using the Doctrine ORM, the below contents should be placed at src/Entity/RefreshToken.php:

<?php

namespace App\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Gesdinet\JWTRefreshTokenBundle\Entity\RefreshToken as BaseRefreshToken;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity
 * @ORM\Table("refresh_tokens")
 */
class RefreshToken extends BaseRefreshToken
{
}

If you are using the Doctrine MongoDB ODM, the below contents should be placed at src/Document/RefreshToken.php (remember to update the refresh_token_class configuration above to match):

<?php

namespace App\Document;

use Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Mapping\Annotations as ODM;
use Gesdinet\JWTRefreshTokenBundle\Document\RefreshToken as BaseRefreshToken;

/**
 * @ODM\Document(collection="refresh_tokens")
 */
class RefreshToken extends BaseRefreshToken
{
}

Step 4 (Symfony 5.4+)

Define the refresh token route

Open your routing configuration file and add the following route to it:

# config/routes.yaml
api_refresh_token:
    path: /api/token/refresh
# ...

Configure the authenticator

To enable the authenticator, you should add it to your API firewall(s) alongside the json_login and jwt authenticators.

The complete firewall configuration should look similar to the following:

# config/packages/security.yaml
security:
    # this config is only required on Symfony 5.4, you can leave it out on Symfony 6
    enable_authenticator_manager: true

    firewalls:
        api:
            pattern: ^/api
            stateless: true
            entry_point: jwt
            json_login:
                check_path: /api/login # or, if you have defined a route for your login path, the route name you used
                success_handler: lexik_jwt_authentication.handler.authentication_success
                failure_handler: lexik_jwt_authentication.handler.authentication_failure
            jwt: ~
            refresh_jwt:
                check_path: /api/token/refresh # or, you may use the `api_refresh_token` route name
    # ...

    access_control:
        # ...
        - { path: ^/api/(login|token/refresh), roles: PUBLIC_ACCESS }
        # ...
# ...

Step 4 (Symfony 4.4)

Define the refresh token route

Open your routing configuration file and add the following route to it:

# config/routes.yaml
api_refresh_token:
    path:       /api/token/refresh
    controller: gesdinet.jwtrefreshtoken::refresh
# ...

Configure the security firewall

Add the below to your security configuration file:

# config/packages/security.yaml
security:
    firewalls:
        # put it before all your other firewall API entries
        refresh:
            pattern:  ^/api/token/refresh
            stateless: true
            anonymous: true
    # ...

    access_control:
        # ...
        - { path: ^/api/token/refresh, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
        # ...
# ...

Step 5: Update your database schema

You will need to add the table for the refresh tokens to your application's database.

With migrations:

# If using the MakerBundle:
php bin/console make:migration
# Without the MakerBundle:
php bin/console doctrine:migrations:diff

php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate

Without migrations (NOT RECOMMENDED):

php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force

Usage

The below options can be configured through the bundle's configuration in the config/packages/gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token.yaml file (make sure to create it if it does not already exist).

Token TTL

You can define the refresh token TTL, this value is set in seconds and defaults to 1 month. You can change this value adding this line to your config:

gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token:
    ttl: 2592000

Update Token TTL

You can configure the bundle to refresh the TTL on a refresh token when it is used, by default this feature is disabled. You can change this value adding this line to your config:

gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token:
    ttl_update: true

Config Firewall Name

NOTE This setting is deprecated and is not used with the refresh_jwt authenticator

You can define Firewall name. Default value is api. You can change this value adding this line to your config:

gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token:
    firewall: api

Refresh Token Parameter Name

You can define the parameter name for the refresh token when it is read from the request, the default value is refresh_token. You can change this value adding this line to your config:

gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token:
    token_parameter_name: refreshToken

Return Expiration Timestamp

If set to true, the expiration Unix timestamp will be added to the response.

gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token:
    return_expiration: true

The default parameter name is refresh_token_expiration. You can change the parameter name by adding this line to your config and changing it:

gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token:
    return_expiration_parameter_name: refresh_token_expiration

Set The User Provider

Symfony 5.4+

You can define a user provider to use for the authenticator its configuration.

Note, if your application has multiple user providers, you MUST configure this value for either the firewall or the provider.

# app/config/security.yml or config/packages/security.yaml
security:
    firewalls:
        api:
            pattern: ^/api
            stateless: true
            entry_point: jwt
            json_login: ~
            jwt: ~
            refresh_jwt:
                check_path: /api/token/refresh
                provider: user_provider_service_id

By default, when a user provider is not specified, then the user provider for the firewall is used instead.

Symfony 4.4

NOTE This setting is deprecated and is not used with the refresh_jwt authenticator

You can define your own user provider, by default the gesdinet.jwtrefreshtoken.user_provider service is used. You can change this value by adding this line to your config:

gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token:
    user_provider: user_provider_service_id

For example, if you are using FOSUserBundle, user_provider must be set to fos_user.user_provider.username_email.

For Doctrine ORM UserProvider, user_provider must be set to security.user.provider.concrete.<your_user_provider_name_in_security_yaml>.

For example, in your config/packages/security.yaml file:

security:
    # ...
    providers:
        app_user_provider:
            # ...
    firewalls:
    # ...
# ...

then your user_provider_service_id is security.user.provider.concrete.app_user_provider.

Set The User Checker

Symfony 5.4+

You can define a user checker to use for the firewall as part of the firewall configuration:

# app/config/security.yml or config/packages/security.yaml
security:
    firewalls:
        api_token_refresh:
            pattern: ^/api/token/refresh
            stateless: true
            user_checker: user_checker_service_id
            refresh_jwt: ~

Symfony 4.4

NOTE This setting is deprecated and is not used with the refresh_jwt authenticator

You can define your own user checker, by default the security.user_checker service is used. You can change this value by adding this line to your config:

gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token:
    user_checker: user_checker_service_id

You will probably want to use a custom user provider along with your user checker to ensure that the checker receives the right type of user.

Single Use Tokens

You can configure the refresh token so it can only be consumed once. If set to true and the refresh token is consumed, a new refresh token will be provided.

To enable this behavior add this line to your config:

gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token:
    single_use: true

Set the refresh token in a cookie

By default, the refresh token is returned in the body of a JSON response. You can use the following configuration to set it in a HttpOnly cookie instead. The refresh token is automatically extracted from the cookie during refresh.

To allow users to logout when using cookies, you need to configure the LogoutEvent to trigger on a specific route, and call that route during logout.

gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token:
    cookie:
      enabled: true
      same_site: lax               # default value
      path: /                      # default value
      domain: null                 # default value
      http_only: true              # default value
      secure: true                 # default value
      remove_token_from_body: true # default value

Invalidate refresh token on logout

This bundle automatically registers an EventListener which triggers on LogoutEvents from a specific firewall (default: api).

The LogoutEventListener automatically invalidates the given refresh token and, if enabled, unsets the cookie. If no refresh token is supplied, an error is returned and the cookie remains untouched. If the supplied refresh token is (already) invalid, the cookie is unset.

All you have to do is make sure the LogoutEvent triggers on a specific route, and call that route during logout:

# in security.yaml
security:
    firewalls:
        api:
            logout:
                path: api_token_invalidate

# in routes.yaml
api_token_invalidate:
    path: /api/token/invalidate

If you want to configure the LogoutEvent to trigger on a different firewall, the name of the firewall has to be configured:

# in security.yaml
security:
    firewalls:
        myfirewall:
            logout:
                path: api_token_invalidate

# in routes.yaml
api_token_invalidate:
    path: /api/token/invalidate

# in gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token.yaml
gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token:
    logout_firewall: myfirewall

Doctrine Manager Type

By default, the bundle will try to set the appropriate Doctrine object manager for your application using the following logic to define the manager type:

If the manager_type configuration key is set to "mongodb", the MongoDB ODM is used
If the manager_type configuration key is set to "orm" (default), and the ORM is not installed but the MongoDB ODM is installed, the MongoDB ODM is used
By default, the manager_type is "orm" and the ORM is used

You can customize the manager type using the manager_type configuration:

gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token:
    manager_type: mongodb

Use another object manager

You can configure the bundle to use any object manager using the object_manager configuration. Note, an explicitly defined object_manager configuration will override any automatic configuration based on the manager_type.

gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token:
    object_manager: my.specific.entity_manager.id

Use another class for refresh tokens

You can define your own refresh token class for your project by creating a class extending from the classes provided by this bundle. This also allows you to customize the refresh token, i.e. to add extra data to the token.

When using the Doctrine ORM, create a class extending Gesdinet\JWTRefreshTokenBundle\Entity\RefreshToken in your application:

<?php

namespace App\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Gesdinet\JWTRefreshTokenBundle\Entity\RefreshToken;

/**
 * This class extends Gesdinet\JWTRefreshTokenBundle\Entity\RefreshToken to have another table name.
 *
 * @ORM\Table("jwt_refresh_token")
 */
class JwtRefreshToken extends RefreshToken
{
}

When using the Doctrine MongoDB ODM, create a class extending Gesdinet\JWTRefreshTokenBundle\Document\RefreshToken in your application:

<?php

namespace App\Document;

use Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Mapping\Annotations as MongoDB;
use Gesdinet\JWTRefreshTokenBundle\Document\RefreshToken;

/**
 * This class extends Gesdinet\JWTRefreshTokenBundle\Document\RefreshToken to have another collection name.
 *
 * @MongoDB\Document(collection="jwt_refresh_token")
 */
class JwtRefreshToken extends RefreshToken
{
}

Then declare this class adding this line to your config.yml file:

gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token:
    refresh_token_class: App\Entity\JwtRefreshToken

NOTE If using another object manager, it is recommended your object class extends from Gesdinet\JWTRefreshTokenBundle\Model\AbstractRefreshToken which implements all required methods from Gesdinet\JWTRefreshTokenBundle\Model\RefreshTokenInterface.

Disable automatic Doctrine mappings

NOTE This setting is deprecated and is no longer used

On some occasions, you may not want to have default Doctrine mappings of object manager enabled as you use neither ORM nor ODM but i.e. using DoctrineBundle for DBAL.

To disable dynamic Doctrine mapping add this line to your config:

gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token:
    doctrine_mappings: false

Generating Tokens

When you authenticate through /api/login_check with user/password credentials, LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle now returns a JWT Token and a Refresh Token data.

{
  "token": "eyxxxGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXUyJ9.eyJleHAiOjE0NDI0MDM3NTgsImVtYWlsIjoid2VibWFzdGVyQGdlc2RpbmV0LmNvbSIsImlhdCI6IjE0NDI0MDM3MzgifQ.bo5pre_v0moCXVOZOj-s85gVnBLzdSdsltPn3XrkmJaE8eaBo_zcU2pnjs4dUc9hhwNZK8PL6SmSNcQuTUj4OMK7sUDfXr62a05Ds-UgQP8B2Kpc-ZOmSts_vhgo6xJNCy8Oub9-pRA_78WzUUxt294w0IArrNlgQAGewk65RSMThOif9G6L7HzBM4ajFZ-kMDypz2zVQea1kry-m-XXKNDbERCSHnMeV3rANN48SX645_WEvwaHy0agChR4hTnThzLof2bShA7j7HmnSPpODxQszS5ZBHdMgTvYhlcWJmwYswCWCTPl3lsqVq_UOFI5_4arpSNlUwZsichqxXVAHX5idZqCWtoaqAbvNQe2IpinYajoXw-MlYKvcN2TLUF_8sy529olLUagf4FCpCO6JFxovv0E7ll9tUOVvx9LlannqV8976q5XCOoXszKonZSH7DhsBlW5Emjv7PailbARZ-hfl4YlamyY2QbnxAswYycfoxqJxbbIKYGA8dlebdvMyC7m9VATnasTuKeEKS3mP5iyDgWALBHNYXm1FM-12zHBdN3PbOgxmy_OBGvk05thYFEf2WVmyedtFHy4TGlI0-otUTAf2swQAXWhKtkLWzokWWF7l5iNzam1kkEgql5EOztXHDZpmdKVHWBVNvN3J5ivPjjJBm6sGusf-radcw",
  "refresh_token": "xxx00a7a9e970f9bbe076e05743e00648908c38366c551a8cdf524ba424fc3e520988f6320a54989bbe85931ffe1bfcc63e33fd8b45d58564039943bfbd8dxxx"
}

The refresh token is persisted as a RefreshTokenInterface object. When your JWT expires, you have two options:

Generate a new JWT by re-authenticate with your credentials via /api/login_check. This will also generate a new refresh token.
Generate a new JWT by POSTing your valid refresh token to /api/token/refresh. This method does not require any user credentials. A refresh token can be used as long as it is not expired - it even can be used multiple times (*). On a successful refresh, the refresh tokens TTL will increase, but the refresh token itself will not change.

(*) Note that when a refresh token is consumed and the config option single_use is set to true the token will no longer be valid.

curl -X POST -d refresh_token="xxxx4b54b0076d2fcc5a51a6e60c0fb83b0bc90b47e2c886accb70850795fb311973c9d101fa0111f12eec739db063ec09d7dd79331e3148f5fc6e9cb362xxxx" 'http://xxxx/token/refresh'

This call returns a new valid JWT token renewing valid datetime of your refresh token.

Useful Commands

Revoke all invalid tokens

If you want to revoke all invalid (datetime expired) refresh tokens you can execute:

php bin/console gesdinet:jwt:clear

The command optionally accepts a date argument which will delete all tokens older than the given time. This can be any value that can be parsed by the DateTime class.

php bin/console gesdinet:jwt:clear 2015-08-08

We recommend executing this command as a cronjob to remove invalid refresh tokens on an interval.

Revoke a token

If you want to revoke a single token you can use this command:

php bin/console gesdinet:jwt:revoke TOKEN

Events

Token Refreshed

When a token is refreshed, the gesdinet.refresh_token event is dispatched with a Gesdinet\JWTRefreshTokenBundle\Event\RefreshEvent object.

Refresh Token Failure

NOTE This event is only available when using the refresh_jwt authenticator with Symfony 5.4+.

When there is a failure authenticating the refresh token, the gesdinet.refresh_token_failure event is dispatched with a Gesdinet\JWTRefreshTokenBundle\Event\RefreshAuthenticationFailureEvent object.

Refresh Token Not Found

NOTE This event is only available when using the refresh_jwt authenticator with Symfony 5.4+.

When there is a failure authenticating the refresh token, the gesdinet.refresh_token_not_found event is dispatched with a Gesdinet\JWTRefreshTokenBundle\Event\RefreshTokenNotFoundEvent object.

Token Extractor

The bundle provides a Gesdinet\JWTRefreshTokenBundle\Request\Extractor\ExtractorInterface to define classes which can read the refresh token from the request.

By default, the Gesdinet\JWTRefreshTokenBundle\Request\Extractor\ChainExtractor is used which allows checking multiple aspects of the request for a token. The first token found will be used.

You can create a custom extractor by adding a class to your application implementing the interface. For example, to add an extractor checking for a "X-Refresh-Token" header:

<?php

namespace App\Request\Extractor;

use Gesdinet\JWTRefreshTokenBundle\Request\Extractor\ExtractorInterface;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;

final class HeaderExtractor implements ExtractorInterface
{
    public function getRefreshToken(Request $request, string $parameter): ?string
    {
        return $request->headers->get('X-Refresh-Token');
    }
}

This bundle handles automatically configuring ExtractorInterface objects and will automatically set the gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token.request_extractor container tag when your application uses autoconfiguration (autoconfigure: true in your services.yaml file). If autoconfiguration is not in use, you will need to manually configure the tag:

services:
    App\Request\Extractor\HeaderExtractor:
        tags:
            - { name: gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token.request_extractor }

Prioritizing Extractors

The gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token.request_extractor container tag supports prioritizing extractors, you can use this to set the preferred order for your extractors by adding a priority attribute. The higher the number, the sooner the extractor will be run.

services:
    App\Request\Extractor\HeaderExtractor:
        tags:
            - { name: gesdinet_jwt_refresh_token.request_extractor, priority: 25 }
