The Microsoft Authentication Extensions for Node offers secure mechanisms for client applications to perform cross-platform token cache serialization and persistence. It gives additional support to the Microsoft Authentication Library for Node (MSAL).
MSAL Node supports an in-memory cache by default and provides the ICachePlugin interface to perform cache serialization, but does not provide a default way of storing the token cache to disk. Microsoft authentication extensions for node is default implementation for persisting cache to disk across different platforms.
Supported platforms are Windows, Mac and Linux:
Note: It is recommended to use this library for cache persistence support for Public client applications such as Desktop apps only. In web applications, this may lead to scale and performance issues. Web applications are recommended to persist the cache in session.
The extensions contain prebuild binaries. node-gyp is used to compile addons for accessing system APIs. Installation requirements are listed on the node-gyp README
On linux, the library uses libsecret so you may need to install it. Depending on your distribution, you will need to run the following command:
sudo apt-get install libsecret-1-devsudo yum install libsecret-develpacman -S libsecretTo build msal-node-extensions:
