Implement comprehensive lifecycle controls for authentication tokens to maintain security throughout token creation, usage, and deletion processes. Essential practices include:
- Special handling for privileged tokens (like admin/operator tokens) with appropriate restrictions and user feedback
- Unique identifiers for each token to prevent duplication or reuse of token IDs
- Proper validation of token deletion permissions with clear error messages
- Explicit regeneration paths for tokens that cannot be directly deleted
Example implementation for special token handling:
if let Err(e) = client.api_v3_configure_token_delete(&token_name).await {
match e {
Error::ApiError { code, ref message } => {
if code == StatusCode::METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED && message == "cannot delete operator token" {
println!(
"Cannot delete operator token, to regenerate an operator token, use `influxdb3 create token --admin --regenerate --token $TOKEN`"
);
}
}
_ => return Err(e.into()),
}
}
This approach prevents security vulnerabilities that could arise from improper token management while providing clear guidance to users when special procedures are required.
