passport-auth0
Advanced tools
This is the Auth0 authentication strategy for Passport.js. Passport is authentication middleware for Node.js that can be unobtrusively dropped into any Express-based web application.
For Management API endpoints, please see the Node Auth0 SDK.
Full documentation with examples can be found in the Node.js Quickstart.
You can also see fully working demos using this library in our Auth0 blog:
The Auth0 Passport strategy is installed with npm.
npm install passport-auth0
The Auth0 Passport strategy enforces the use of the state parameter in OAuth 2.0 authorization requests and requires session support in Express to be enabled.
If you require the state parameter to be omitted (which is not recommended), you can suppress it when calling the Auth0 Passport strategy constructor:
const Auth0Strategy = require('passport-auth0');
const strategy = new Auth0Strategy({
// ...
state: false
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, extraParams, profile, done) {
// ...
}
);
If you want to change the scope of the ID token provided, add a scope property to the authenticate configuration passed when defining the route. These must be OIDC standard scopes. If you need data outside of the standard scopes, you can add custom claims to the token.
app.get(
'/login',
passport.authenticate('auth0', {scope: 'openid email profile'}),
function (req, res) {
res.redirect('/');
}
);
If you want to force a specific identity provider you can use:
app.get(
'/login/google',
passport.authenticate('auth0', {connection: 'google-oauth2'}),
function (req, res) {
res.redirect('/');
}
);
If you force an identity provider you can also request custom scope from that identity provider:
app.get(
'/login/google',
passport.authenticate('auth0', {
connection: 'google-oauth2',
connection_scope: 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts.readonly'
}),
function (req, res) {
res.redirect('/');
}
);
If you want to specify an audience for the returned access_token you can:
app.get(
'/login',
passport.authenticate('auth0', {audience: 'urn:my-api'}),
function (req, res) {
res.redirect('/');
}
);
If you want to check authentication without showing a prompt:
app.get(
'/login',
passport.authenticate('auth0', {prompt: 'none'}),
function (req, res) {
res.redirect('/');
}
);
