Express module to query a FastCGI authorization server
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var FcgiAuthz = require('fastcgi-authz-client');
handler = FcgiAuthz({
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 9090
});
app.use(handler);
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
return res.send('Hello ' + req.upstreamHeaders['auth-user'] + ' !');
});
app.listen(3000, function() {
return console.log('Example app listening on port 3000!');
});
fastcgi-authz-client is an Express
handler that verify upon an upstream FastCGI server if client is
authorizated to get this URL (like Nginx auth_request
).
This can be used with LemonLDAP::NG in a SSO-as-a-Service (SSOaaS) system.
fastcgi-authz-client gives any parameters (except PARAMS) to
fastcgi-client
. See
its documentation for more.
This parameter can be used to add a custom parameter in FastCGI request. For
example to give RULES_URL
to Lemonldap::NG SSOaaS server:
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var FcgiAuthz = require('fastcgi-authz-client');
handler = FcgiAuthz({
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 9090,
PARAMS: {
RULES_URL: 'http://my-server/rules.json'
}
});
app.use(handler);
...
fastcgi-authz-client stores FastCGI response header in req.upstreamHeaders
(keys in lower case). You can so use them in Express application
(see synopsis)
