passport-oauth2

General-purpose OAuth 2.0 authentication strategy for Passport.

This module lets you authenticate using OAuth 2.0 in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, OAuth 2.0 authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.

Note that this strategy provides generic OAuth 2.0 support. In many cases, a provider-specific strategy can be used instead, which cuts down on unnecessary configuration, and accommodates any provider-specific quirks. See the list for supported providers.

Developers who need to implement authentication against an OAuth 2.0 provider that is not already supported are encouraged to sub-class this strategy. If you choose to open source the new provider-specific strategy, please add it to the list so other people can find it.

Install

$ npm install @passport-next/passport-oauth2

Usage

Configure Strategy

The OAuth 2.0 authentication strategy authenticates users using a third-party account and OAuth 2.0 tokens. The provider's OAuth 2.0 endpoints, as well as the client identifer and secret, are specified as options. The strategy requires a verify callback, which receives an access token and profile, and calls cb providing a user.

passport.use(new OAuth2Strategy({
    authorizationURL: 'https://www.example.com/oauth2/authorize',
    tokenURL: 'https://www.example.com/oauth2/token',
    clientID: EXAMPLE_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: EXAMPLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://localhost:3000/auth/example/callback"
  },
  function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, cb) {
    User.findOrCreate({ exampleId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return cb(err, user);
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'oauth2' strategy, to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/example',
  passport.authenticate('oauth2'));

app.get('/auth/example/callback',
  passport.authenticate('oauth2', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
  function(req, res) {
    // Successful authentication, redirect home.
    res.redirect('/');
  });

Strategy Options

authorizationURL

REQUIRED
{ authorizationURL: string }
URL used to obtain an authorization grant

tokenURL

REQUIRED
{ tokenURL: string }
URL used to obtain an access token

clientID

REQUIRED
{ clientID: string }
The client identifier issued to the client by the OAuth 2.0 service.

clientSecret

REQUIRED
{ clientSecret: string }
The client secret issued to the client by the OAuth 2.0 service.

callbackURL

OPTIONAL
{ callbackURL: string }
URL to which the service provider will redirect the user after obtaining authorization. The URL can be relative or fully qualified; when relative, the original URL of the authorization request will be prepended to the relative URL.

customHeaders

OPTIONAL
{ customHeaders: Object }
Custom headers you can pass along with the authorization request.

passReqToCallback

OPTIONAL
{ passReqToCallback: boolean }
When set to true, the first argument sent to the verify callback is the request, http.IncomingMessage, (default: false)

proxy

OPTIONAL
{ proxy: boolean }
Used when resolving a relative callbackURL. When set to true, req.headers['x-forwarded-proto'] and req.headers['x-forwarded-host'] will be used otherwise req.connection.encrypted and req.headers.host will be used.

Note: if your webserver, e.g. Express, provides req.app.get and the value req.app.get('trust proxy') is set, proxy option will automatically be set to true.

scope

OPTIONAL
{ scope: Array|string }
The scope of the access request made by the client of the OAuth 2.0 service. The scope is a list one or more strings, which are defined by the OAuth 2.0 service.

When the scope is provided as a list of strings, each string should be separated by a single space, as per the OAuth 2.0 spec. When the scope is provided as an Array of strings, each array element will be joined by the scopeSeparator.

scopeSeparator

OPTIONAL
{ scopeSeparator: string }
The separator used to join the scope strings when the scope is provided as an Array (default: single space).

sessionKey

OPTIONAL
{ sessionKey: string }
The key to use to store the state string when the state option is set to true. (default: 'oauth2:' + url.parse(options.authorizationURL).hostname)

skipUserProfile

OPTIONAL
{ skipUserProfile: boolean }
Whether or not to return the user profile information of the user granting authorization to their account information.

state

OPTIONAL
{ state: boolean }
When set to true, a state string with be created, stored, sent along with the authentication request and verified when the response from the OAuth 2.0 service is received.

store

OPTIONAL
{ store: Function }
The store to use when storing the state string (default: SessionStore, req.session[sessionKey], requires session middleware such as express-session). See the NullStore for an example of a store function.
