ASAP middleware for express and a generic authenticator function which works without express
This is an implementation of ASAP S2S Authentication as both an Express middleware and a generic authenticator function which works without express.
Install the library:
npm install --save @atlassian/express-asap
const express = require('express');
const {createAsapAuthenticationMiddleware, createAsapIssuerWhitelistMiddleware} = require('@atlassian/express-asap');
const app = express();
app.use(createAsapAuthenticationMiddleware({
publicKeyBaseUrls: [
config.get('jwt.publicKeyBaseUrl'),
config.get('jwt.publicKeyBaseUrlFallback')
],
resourceServerAudience: config.get('jwt.audience')
}));
app.use('/some-resource',
createAsapIssuerWhitelistMiddleware(['some-authorized-issuer']),
(request, response) => {
response.send('This will only be reached by a request authenticated as some-authorized-issuer');
}
);
app.listen(8080);
For more examples have a look at the test/integration directory.
const {createAsapAuthenticator} = require('@atlassian/express-asap');
const authenticateAsapHeader = createAsapAuthenticationMiddleware({
publicKeyBaseUrls: [
config.get('jwt.publicKeyBaseUrl'),
config.get('jwt.publicKeyBaseUrlFallback')
],
resourceServerAudience: config.get('jwt.audience')
});
authenticateAsapHeader('Bearer foo')
.then((asapClaims) => {
if (asapClaims) {
console.log('Authenticated!', asapClaims);
} else {
console.log('Anonymous!');
}
})
.catch((error) => console.log('Authentication failed!', error));
