Akamai-AuthToken is Akamai Authorization Token in the HTTP Cookie, Query String and Header for a client. You can configure it in the Property Manager at https://control.akamai.com. It's a behavior which is Auth Token 2.0 Verification.
Akamai-AuthToken supports Ruby 2.0+. (This is Akamai unofficial code)
To install Akamai Authorization Token for Ruby:
$ gem install akamai-authtoken
require 'net/http' # Just for this Example
require 'akamai/authtoken'
AT_HOSTNAME = 'auth-token.akamaized.net'
AT_ENCRYPTION_KEY = 'YourEncryptionKey'
DURATION = 500 # seconds
AT_ENCRYPTION_KEY must be hexadecimal digit string with even-length.
Don't expose AT_ENCRYPTION_KEY on the public repository.
path = "/akamai/authtoken"
# 1) Cookie
at = Akamai::AuthToken.new(key: AT_ENCRYPTION_KEY,
window_seconds: DURATION,
escape_early: true)
token = at.generateToken(url: path)
uri = URI("http://#{AT_HOSTNAME}#{path}")
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host)
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
req['Cookie'] = "#{at.token_name}=#{token}"
res = http.request(req)
p res # Maybe not 403
# 2) Query string
token = at.generateToken(url: path)
uri = URI("http://#{AT_HOSTNAME}#{path}#{at.token_name}=#{token}")
res = Net::HTTP.get_response(uri)
p res
It depends on turning on/off 'Escape token input' in the property manager. (on: [escape_early: True] / off: [escape_early: false])
In [Example 2], it's only okay for 'Ignore query string' option on in the property manager.
If you want to 'Ignore query string' off using query string as your token, Please contact your Akamai representative.
# 1) Header using *
at = Akamai::AuthToken.new(key: AT_ENCRYPTION_KEY, window_seconds: DURATION)
token = at.generateToken(acl: "/akamai/authtoken/list/*")
uri = URI("http://#{AT_HOSTNAME}/akamai/authtoken/list/something")
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host)
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
req[at.token_name] = token
res = http.request(req)
p res
# 2) Cookie Delimited by '!'
acl = ["/akamai/authtoken", "/akamai/authtoken/list/*"]
token = at.generateToken(acl: acl.join(Akamai::AuthToken.ACL_DELIMITER))
uri = URI("http://#{AT_HOSTNAME}/akamai/authtoken/list/something2")
# or URI("http://#{AT_HOSTNAME}/akamai/authtoken")
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host)
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
req['Cookie'] = "#{at.token_name}=#{token}"
res = http.request(req)
p res
It doesn't matter turning on/off 'Escape token input' in the property manager, but you should keep escape_early: false (Default)
class AuthToken
def initialize(token_type: nil, token_name: '__token__', key: nil,
algorithm: 'sha256', salt: nil, start_time: nil, end_time: nil,
window_seconds: nil, field_delimiter: '~', escape_early: false, verbose: false)
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
token_type | Select a preset. (Not Supported Yet) |
token_name | Parameter name for the new token. [ Default: __token__ ] |
key | Secret required to generate the token. It must be hexadecimal digit string with even-length. |
algorithm | Algorithm to use to generate the token. (sha1, sha256, or md5) [ Default:sha256 ] |
salt | Additional data validated by the token but NOT included in the token body. (It will be deprecated) |
start_time | What is the start time? (Use string 'now' for the current time) |
end_time | When does this token expire? 'end_time' overrides 'window_seconds' |
window_seconds | How long is this token valid for? |
field_delimiter | Character used to delimit token body fields. [ Default: ~ ] |
escape_early | Causes strings to be 'url' encoded before being used. |
verbose | Print all parameters. |
ACL_DELIMITER = '!' # Character used to delimit acl fields.
def generateToken(url: nil, acl: nil, start_time: nil, end_time: nil,
window_seconds: nil, ip: nil, payload: nil, session_id: nil)
# Returns the authorization token string.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
url | Single URL path. |
acl | Access control list delimited by ! [ ie. /* ] |
start_time end_time window_seconds |
Same as Authtoken's parameters, but they overrides Authtoken's. |
ip | IP Address to restrict this token to. (Troublesome in many cases (roaming, NAT, etc) so not often used) |
payload | Additional text added to the calculated digest. |
session_id | The session identifier for single use tokens or other advanced cases. |
