A Rust crate providing user identification, authentication, and authorization as tower middleware for the Axum web framework. It supports arbitrary user backends, user/group permissions, and route protection built on tower-sessions.

Use cases

• add login and session-based authentication to an axum web app
• protect routes so only logged-in users can access them
• implement role or group-based permissions in a Rust web service
• authenticate users against a custom database, LDAP, or third-party auth provider
• manage user sessions in an axum application

When to choose

• you're building a web service with axum and need authentication middleware
• you want flexible support for custom user types and auth backends
• you need both authentication and fine-grained authorization with permissions

When to avoid

• you're not using axum or the tower ecosystem
• you need a full turnkey identity provider with hosted login pages
• you need OAuth/OpenID Connect flows out of the box without writing a backend
