Authorization: Bearer uses existing API-key RBAC flow
X-API-KEY still supported and takes precedence if both supplied

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • API authentication supports X-API-KEY and case-insensitive Authorization: Bearer credentials.
    • When both credentials are provided, X-API-KEY takes precedence.
    • Multi-tenant requests automatically receive the appropriate tenant information.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved Bearer token parsing when credentials contain repeated spaces.
    • Empty credentials and unsupported authorization schemes are now rejected correctly.

Walkthrough

API-key authentication accepts X-API-KEY and case-insensitive Authorization: Bearer values. X-API-KEY takes precedence. Bearer parsing trims repeated spaces and rejects empty credentials. Multi-tenant requests receive the resolved user's tenant header.

Changes

API-key authentication

Layer / File(s) Summary
Authentication extraction and tenant propagation
src/handlers/http/middleware.rs
The middleware prioritizes X-API-KEY, parses Bearer authorization values, rejects empty credentials, and inserts the tenant header for resolved API-key users in multi-tenant mode.
Authentication behavior tests
src/handlers/http/middleware.rs
Tests cover extraction, repeated Bearer spaces, empty credentials, unsupported schemes, header precedence, and tenant-header insertion.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 18cd0

This localized change adds Bearer-token support for API keys while preserving existing X-API-KEY precedence; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Poem

A rabbit checks the headers in the morning light
X-API-KEY leads the way, precise and right
Bearer tokens follow, in cases high or low
Tenant paths now join the flow
Tests confirm the rules are clear

- Line 344: Update the Bearer authorization parsing around the scheme/api_key
extraction to trim leading spaces from api_key before passing it to
find_api_key_user, while preserving case-insensitive scheme matching. Add a
regression test covering an Authorization header with repeated spaces between
Bearer and the API key.
