sdk/ruby | XID

Ruby server SDK for networkless JWT verification, Rack/Rails request authentication, and webhook signature validation.

Status

Implemented and verified locally. Real IdP round-trip verification (JWKS fetch, token sign/verify against a live XID instance) has not been performed yet and must be completed before production use.

Install

# Gemfile
gem "xid"

bundle install

Quick start

require "xid"

Xid.configure do |c|
  c.issuer         = "https://xid.dev"
  c.audience       = "your_client_id"
  c.webhook_secret = "whsec_AbCdEf..."
end

# Verify a token
begin
  claims = Xid.verify_token(raw_token)
  puts claims.sub    # => "usr_abc123"
  puts claims.scope  # => "openid profile email"
rescue Xid::TokenVerificationError => e
  puts "Token invalid: #{e.message}"
end

Authenticate a Rack/Rails request

# Sinatra before-filter
before do
  auth = Xid.authenticate_request(request)
  halt 401, "Unauthorized" unless auth.signed_in?
  @current_user_id = auth.claims.sub
end

# Rack middleware (env-based)
auth = Xid.authenticate_request(env)
unless auth.signed_in?
  return [401, { "Content-Type" => "application/json" },
          [JSON.generate({ error: auth.reason })]]
end

Verify webhook

# Rails controller action
def receive
  raw_body = request.raw_post
  payload = Xid.verify_webhook(request.headers.to_h, raw_body)
  handle_event(payload["type"], payload["data"])
  head :ok
rescue Xid::WebhookVerificationError
  head :bad_request
end

Multi-issuer setup

config_a = Xid::Configuration.new
config_a.issuer   = "https://tenant-a.xid.dev"
config_a.audience = "client_a"
client_a = Xid::Client.new(config_a)
claims = client_a.verify_token(token)

Configuration options

Key	Default	Description
`issuer`	`https://xid.dev`	OIDC issuer URL
`audience`	`nil`	Expected aud claim; nil skips validation
`jwks_ttl`	`3600`	JWKS local cache TTL in seconds
`leeway`	`60`	JWT clock skew tolerance in seconds
`webhook_secret`	`nil`	Webhook signing secret with `whsec_` prefix
`webhook_tolerance`	`300`	Webhook replay window in seconds
`cookie_name`	`__xid_token`	Cookie key for access token extraction

Platform notes

Depends on the jwt gem (ES256/RS256 support). Ruby 3.1+ required.
Xid.authenticate_request accepts both a Rack env hash and a Rack Request object.
Exception hierarchy: Xid::Error -> ConfigurationError, JwksError, TokenVerificationError, WebhookVerificationError.
