# MonacoUSA Portal - Custom Login System Implementation
|
|
|
|
## 🎯 Overview
|
|
|
|
This document describes the implementation of the custom branded login system for the MonacoUSA Portal. The system provides a seamless authentication experience using your Monaco assets while maintaining security through Keycloak integration.
|
|
|
|
## ✨ Features Implemented
|
|
|
|
### 🎨 **Beautiful Branded UI**
|
|
- **Monaco Background**: High-resolution Monaco image with overlay effects
|
|
- **MonacoUSA Logo**: Animated logo with pulse effect
|
|
- **Glassmorphism Design**: Modern card with backdrop blur and transparency
|
|
- **Responsive Layout**: Works perfectly on desktop, tablet, and mobile
|
|
- **Smooth Animations**: Entrance animations and hover effects
|
|
|
|
### 🔐 **Direct Authentication**
|
|
- **Password-based Login**: Users never leave your portal
|
|
- **Remember Me**: Extended 30-day sessions vs 7-day standard
|
|
- **Rate Limiting**: 5 attempts per 15 minutes, 1-hour IP blocking
|
|
- **Input Validation**: Client and server-side validation
|
|
- **Security Logging**: Comprehensive logging for monitoring
|
|
|
|
### 🔄 **Password Reset**
|
|
- **Email-based Reset**: Integration with Keycloak's email system
|
|
- **Beautiful Dialog**: Modal with branded styling
|
|
- **Security-first**: Doesn't reveal if email exists
|
|
- **Auto-close**: Success message with automatic dialog closure
|
|
|
|
## 📁 Files Created/Modified
|
|
|
|
### **Frontend Components**
|
|
```
|
|
pages/login.vue # Main branded login page
|
|
components/ForgotPasswordDialog.vue # Password reset modal
|
|
middleware/guest.ts # Redirect authenticated users
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### **Backend APIs**
|
|
```
|
|
server/api/auth/direct-login.post.ts # Direct password authentication
|
|
server/api/auth/forgot-password.post.ts # Password reset functionality
|
|
server/utils/security.ts # Rate limiting and validation
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### **Enhanced Files**
|
|
```
|
|
server/utils/session.ts # Added Remember Me support
|
|
.env.example # Added COOKIE_DOMAIN variable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 🚀 How It Works
|
|
|
|
### **Authentication Flow**
|
|
1. User visits `/login` with beautiful Monaco-themed page
|
|
2. Enters credentials with optional "Remember Me"
|
|
3. Client-side validation and security checks
|
|
4. Direct authentication with Keycloak via Resource Owner Password Credentials
|
|
5. Session creation with appropriate expiration (7 or 30 days)
|
|
6. Redirect to dashboard upon success
|
|
|
|
### **Password Reset Flow**
|
|
1. User clicks "Forgot Password?" link
|
|
2. Modal dialog opens with email input
|
|
3. Email sent via Keycloak admin API
|
|
4. User receives reset link in email
|
|
5. Keycloak handles the actual password reset
|
|
|
|
### **Security Features**
|
|
- **Rate Limiting**: 5 failed attempts = 15-minute window, then 1-hour IP block
|
|
- **Input Validation**: Prevents XSS and injection attacks
|
|
- **Secure Sessions**: Encrypted cookies with domain scoping
|
|
- **Audit Logging**: All authentication events logged
|
|
- **CSRF Protection**: Built into Nuxt framework
|
|
|
|
## 🎨 Design Specifications
|
|
|
|
### **Visual Elements**
|
|
- **Primary Color**: `#a31515` (MonacoUSA red)
|
|
- **Background**: Monaco high-resolution image with gradient overlay
|
|
- **Card Style**: Glassmorphism with `backdrop-filter: blur(15px)`
|
|
- **Logo**: Animated with 3-second pulse effect
|
|
- **Typography**: Clean, modern fonts with proper hierarchy
|
|
|
|
### **Responsive Breakpoints**
|
|
- **Desktop**: Full glassmorphism effects, fixed background
|
|
- **Tablet**: Optimized card sizing and spacing
|
|
- **Mobile**: Scrollable background, adjusted padding
|
|
|
|

# Public Domain
|
|
NUXT_PUBLIC_DOMAIN=monacousa.org
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### **Keycloak Client Settings**
|
|
In your Keycloak admin console, configure the `monacousa-portal` client:
|
|
|
|
1. **Settings Tab**:
|
|
- Client authentication: `ON`
|
|
- Standard flow: `ON` (keep for fallback)
|
|
- **Direct access grants: `ON`** ⚠️ **REQUIRED**
|
|
- Implicit flow: `OFF`
|
|
|
|
2. **Advanced Settings**:
|
|
- Access Token Lifespan: `15 minutes`
|
|
- Refresh Token Lifespan: `30 days` (for Remember Me)
|
|
|
|
3. **Valid Redirect URIs**:
|
|
- `https://portal.monacousa.org/*`
|
|
- `http://localhost:6060/*` (development)
|
|
|
|
4. **Web Origins**:
|
|
- `https://portal.monacousa.org`
|
|
- `http://localhost:6060`
|
|
|
|
## 🖼️ Assets Used
|
|
|
|
### **Images in `/public/`**
|
|
- `MONACOUSA-Flags_376x376.png` - Logo (376x376px)
|
|
- `monaco_high_res.jpg` - Background image (high resolution)
|
|
|
|
### **Asset Optimization**
|
|
- Logo: Transparent PNG, optimized for web
|
|
- Background: High-quality JPEG, properly compressed
|
|
- Both images are served directly from `/public/` directory
|
|
|

## 🚨 Security Considerations
|
|
|
|
### **Implemented Security Measures**
|
|
1. **Rate Limiting**: Prevents brute force attacks
|
|
2. **Input Validation**: Prevents injection attacks
|
|
3. **Secure Cookies**: HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite protection
|
|
4. **Domain Scoping**: Cookies work across subdomains
|
|
5. **Session Encryption**: All session data encrypted
|
|
6. **Audit Logging**: Security events logged for monitoring
|
|
7. **Error Handling**: Generic error messages to prevent information disclosure
|
|
|
|
### **Production Recommendations**
|
|
1. **HTTPS Only**: Ensure all traffic uses HTTPS
|
|
2. **Security Headers**: Implement CSP, HSTS, etc.
|
|
3. **Log Monitoring**: Monitor failed login attempts
|
|
4. **Regular Updates**: Keep Keycloak and dependencies updated
|
|
5. **Backup Strategy**: Regular backups of Keycloak realm
|
|
|
|
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### **Common Issues**
|
|
|
|
#### **Login Redirects to Itself**
|
|
- Check Keycloak configuration has Direct Access Grants enabled
|
|
- Verify environment variables are set correctly
|
|
- Check browser console for JavaScript errors
|
|
|
|
#### **Cookies Not Working**
|
|
- Ensure `COOKIE_DOMAIN=.monacousa.org` is set
|
|
- Verify HTTPS is working in production
|
|
- Check browser developer tools for cookie issues
|
|
|
|
#### **Password Reset Not Working**
|
|
- Verify Keycloak client has admin permissions
|
|
- Check SMTP configuration in Keycloak
|
|
- Review server logs for Keycloak API errors
|
|
|
|
#### **Rate Limiting Too Aggressive**
|
|
- Adjust limits in `server/api/auth/direct-login.post.ts`
|
|
- Consider implementing Redis for production rate limiting
|
|
- Monitor logs for legitimate users being blocked
|
|
|
|
