Issue #214: documents the MOLECULE_ENV=production requirement for staging/prod tenants to lock the /admin/workspaces/:id/test-token route. Also adds a startup INFO log in main.go when the route is enabled, so operators can confirm the setting in boot logs without having to probe the endpoint directly. Ref: issue #214.

# Admin Authentication Runbook

|
## Test-token route: lock in staging and production
|
|
|
|
The `GET /admin/workspaces/:id/test-token` endpoint mints fresh workspace auth tokens.
|
|
It is gated by `TestTokensEnabled()` which returns `true` only when `MOLECULE_ENV != "production"`.
|
|
|
|
**Effect**: if `MOLECULE_ENV` is unset or set to `development` / `dev` in a staging or production
|
|
tenant, the test-token route remains enabled. While the route is protected by `subtle.ConstantTimeCompare`
|
|
against `ADMIN_TOKEN` (returns 404 when disabled, not 403), the safest posture is to lock it
|
|
out in any environment where it is not intentionally used.
|
|
|
|
### Required: set MOLECULE_ENV in all non-dev environments
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# In your tenant / EC2 / Railway environment variables:
|
|
MOLECULE_ENV=production
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This matches the production tenant default. When `MOLECULE_ENV=production`:
|
|
|
|
- `TestTokensEnabled()` → `false`
|
|
- `GET /admin/workspaces/:id/test-token` → 404 (route disabled)
|
|
|
|
### Startup visibility
|
|
|
|
workspace-server logs the test-token route state at boot:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Platform starting on ... (dev-mode-fail-open=...)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Additionally, when `TestTokensEnabled()` is `true` (route enabled), the server emits an INFO line
|
|
so operators can confirm the setting in logs:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[molecule-git-token-helper] NOTE: /admin/workspaces/:id/test-token is ENABLED
|
|
(running with MOLECULE_ENV != production)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you do not see this line and the route is still accessible, verify `MOLECULE_ENV` is not set to
|
|
`development`, `dev`, or any value that is not exactly `production`.
|
|
|
|
### Dev environments
|
|
|
|
In local dev (`MOLECULE_ENV=development` or unset with no `ADMIN_TOKEN`), the test-token route
|
|
is intentionally enabled — it is the only way to bootstrap a workspace bearer token without a running
|
|
canvas. This is the correct default for developer workstations.
|
|
|
|
## Admin bearer token (`ADMIN_TOKEN`)
|
|
|
|
The platform uses `ADMIN_TOKEN` as the bearer credential for admin-gated endpoints:
|
|
|
|
| Endpoint | Auth method |
|
|
|----------|-------------|
|
|
| `GET/POST/PATCH/DELETE /workspaces` | `Authorization: Bearer <ADMIN_TOKEN>` |
|
|
| `GET /admin/liveness` | `Authorization: Bearer <ADMIN_TOKEN>` |
|
|
| `POST /org/import` | `Authorization: Bearer <ADMIN_TOKEN>` |
|
|
| `GET /admin/workspaces/:id/test-token` | `Authorization: Bearer <ADMIN_TOKEN>` (enabled only when `MOLECULE_ENV != "production"`) |
|
|
|
|
Missing or invalid `ADMIN_TOKEN` → AdminAuth fails open in dev mode (no token set), or
|
|
returns 401 in production mode (token set but invalid).
