Authentication Management¶
Autonomous agents require persistent, reliable authentication across multiple services. Authentication is treated as infrastructure -- monitored, refreshed, and alerted -- not one-time configuration.
Managed Services¶
| Service | Auth Type | Management |
|---|---|---|
| Gmail (team@, info@) | OAuth 2.0 | Token refresh automation |
| YouTube | OAuth 2.0 | Brand account support |
| HeyGen | API Key | Rotation monitoring |
| Postiz | API Key | Multi-platform publishing |
| CorpusIQ MCP | OAuth 2.0 | Client credentials |
| GitHub | PAT | File-based storage on Mac Mini |
Token Lifecycle¶
Provision → Monitor → Refresh → Rotate → Deprecate
Each token tracked for expiration date (alerted 7 days before), scope validity (verified on each use), and usage patterns (anomaly detection).
Implementation¶
Storage¶
- macOS: Keychain for OAuth tokens,
~/.github-tokenfor GitHub PAT - Linux (DGX): Environment variables for API keys
Refresh Automation¶
OAuth tokens auto-refresh before expiry. Failures trigger P1 alerts. API keys monitored for rotation.
Security¶
- Tokens never logged or included in debug output
- File permissions restricted (600 for token files)
- Separate tokens per service -- no shared credentials
- Regular rotation schedule enforced
