## Key Changes
### Token Structure
**Before:**
```json
{
"sub": "customer_id",
"exp": 1234567890,
"type": "refresh"
}
```
**After:**
```json
{
"sub": "customer_id",
"exp": 1234567890,
"type": "refresh",
"jti": "unique-token-id",
"family_id": "token-family-id",
"remember_me": true
}
```
### API Changes
**New Endpoints:**
- `POST /logout` - Revoke current refresh token
- `POST /logout-all` - Revoke all user tokens
- `GET /sessions` - List active sessions
- `DELETE /sessions/{token_id}` - Revoke specific session
**Modified Endpoints:**
- `POST /otp-login` - Now accepts `remember_me` and `device_info`
- `POST /oauth-login` - Now accepts `remember_me` and `device_info`
- `POST /register` - Now accepts `remember_me` and `device_info`
- `POST /refresh-token` - Now implements rotation
### Database Schema
**New Collection: `refresh_tokens`**
```javascript
{
token_id: String (unique),
customer_id: String (indexed),
family_id: String (indexed),
expires_at: Date (indexed, TTL),
remember_me: Boolean,
device_info: String,
ip_address: String,
created_at: Date,
revoked: Boolean,
revoked_at: Date,
used: Boolean,
used_at: Date,
revoke_reason: String
}
```
**Redis Keys:**
```
token_family:{family_id} -> {
customer_id,
device_info,
created_at,
rotation_count,
last_rotated
}
```
## Security Improvements
### Before
- ❌ Refresh tokens could be reused indefinitely
- ❌ No detection of token theft
- ❌ No session management
- ❌ Fixed token expiry for all users
### After
- βœ… Tokens invalidated after single use
- βœ… Automatic detection and response to replay attacks
- βœ… Complete session visibility and control
- βœ… User-controlled session duration
- βœ… Device and IP tracking
- βœ… Token family revocation on security breach
## Performance Considerations
### Database Operations
- Token validation: O(1) with indexed lookups
- Session queries: Optimized with compound indexes
- Cleanup: Batch operations with TTL indexes
### Caching
- Token families stored in Redis for fast access
- Automatic expiry with TTL
- Minimal database queries
### Scalability
- Stateless token validation
- Horizontal scaling supported
- No session storage in memory
## Migration Path
### For Existing Deployments
1. **Deploy Code** (Backward Compatible)
```bash
git pull
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
2. **Create Indexes**
```bash
python scripts/create_indexes.py
```
3. **Update Environment**
```bash
echo "JWT_REMEMBER_ME_EXPIRE_DAYS=30" >> .env
```
4. **Restart Service**
```bash
systemctl restart bookmyservice-ums
```
5. **Setup Cleanup Job**
```bash
# Add to crontab
0 2 * * * cd /path/to/ums && python scripts/cleanup_tokens.py
```
### Existing Tokens
- Old refresh tokens continue to work
- Migrated to new system on first refresh
- No user disruption
## Testing Checklist
- [ ] Login with remember_me=true creates 30-day token
- [ ] Login with remember_me=false creates 7-day token
- [ ] Refresh token generates new token pair
- [ ] Old refresh token becomes invalid after use
- [ ] Reusing old token revokes entire family
- [ ] Sessions endpoint shows all active sessions
- [ ] Logout revokes specific token
- [ ] Logout-all revokes all user tokens
- [ ] Device info is stored and displayed
- [ ] IP address is tracked
- [ ] Cleanup script removes expired tokens
- [ ] Indexes improve query performance
## Monitoring
### Metrics to Track
1. **Token Statistics**
- Total active tokens
- Average rotation count per family
- Remember me adoption rate
- Token expiry distribution
2. **Security Events**
- Token reuse attempts
- Families with high rotation counts
- Revocation events
- Failed refresh attempts
3. **Performance**
- Token validation latency
- Database query times
- Cleanup duration
- Redis hit rate
### Alerts to Configure
- Token reuse detected (critical)
- Excessive rotations (>100 per family)
- High failed refresh rate
- Cleanup failures
## Configuration Reference
### Environment Variables
```bash
# Standard refresh token (7 days)
JWT_REFRESH_TOKEN_EXPIRE_DAYS=7
# Remember me refresh token (30 days)
JWT_REMEMBER_ME_EXPIRE_DAYS=30
# Access token (8 hours)
JWT_ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES=480
# Temp token for OTP/OAuth (10 minutes)
JWT_TEMP_TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES=10
```
### Recommended Settings
**Development:**
```bash
JWT_REFRESH_TOKEN_EXPIRE_DAYS=1
JWT_REMEMBER_ME_EXPIRE_DAYS=7
JWT_ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES=60
```
**Production:**
```bash
JWT_REFRESH_TOKEN_EXPIRE_DAYS=7
JWT_REMEMBER_ME_EXPIRE_DAYS=30
JWT_ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES=480
```
**High Security:**
```bash
JWT_REFRESH_TOKEN_EXPIRE_DAYS=1
JWT_REMEMBER_ME_EXPIRE_DAYS=7
JWT_ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES=15
```
## Known Limitations
1. **Token Storage**: Currently stores in MongoDB. Consider Redis for high-traffic scenarios.
2. **Cleanup**: Manual script execution. Consider background task scheduler.
3. **Geolocation**: Not implemented. Add for enhanced security.
4. **Device Fingerprinting**: Basic user-agent only. Consider advanced fingerprinting.
5. **Push Notifications**: Not implemented for new login alerts.
## Future Enhancements
### Short Term
- [ ] Implement httpOnly cookie support
- [ ] Add rate limiting on refresh endpoint
- [ ] Background cleanup scheduler
- [ ] Admin dashboard for token management
### Medium Term
- [ ] Device fingerprinting
- [ ] Geolocation-based anomaly detection
- [ ] Push notifications for new logins
- [ ] Trusted device management
### Long Term
- [ ] Biometric authentication support
- [ ] Hardware security key support (WebAuthn)
- [ ] Machine learning for fraud detection
- [ ] Advanced session analytics
## Support & Maintenance
### Regular Tasks
- **Daily**: Run cleanup script
- **Weekly**: Review token statistics
- **Monthly**: Analyze security events
- **Quarterly**: Review and update expiry settings
### Troubleshooting Resources
1. Check logs: `tail -f app.log`
2. Run diagnostics: `python scripts/cleanup_tokens.py`
3. Review documentation: `REFRESH_TOKEN_ROTATION.md`
4. Test endpoints: `QUICK_START_ROTATION.md`
### Common Issues
