Unofficial version deprecated. Use the official module from Oracle

passport-oauth-oidcs

Passport strategy for authenticating with Oracle IDCS.

This module lets you authenticate using Oracle IDCS in your Node.js applications using 3-legged OAuth flow. Once authentication is accomplished, it continues to maintain the session, so that your application can seamlessly access OAuth resources. By plugging into Passport, IDCS authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.

The startgey leverages IDCS discovery feature of dynamically finding the Authorization and Token end-points

Install

$ npm install passport-oauth-oidcs

Usage

Create an Application

Before using passport-oauth-oidcs, you must register an client application with Oracle IDCS. The application must be granted the necessary access to the target OAuth resources and admin "Me" API. Your application will be issued an app ID and app secret, which need to be provided to the strategy. You will also need to configure a redirect URI which matches the route in your application.

Configure Strategy

The IDCS authentication strategy authenticates users using an IDCS account and OAuth 2.0 tokens.
The app ID and secret obtained when creating an application are supplied as options when creating the strategy.
The strategy also requires a verify callback, which receives the access token, as well as profile which contains the authenticated user's IDCS profile. The verify callback must call done providing a user to complete authentication.

var oidcsstrgt = new OIDCSStrategy(secrets.idcs,
function(req, accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
req.session.idcsAccessToken = accessToken;
return done(null, profile);
}
);
 
passport.use(oidcsstrgt);

Authenticate Requests

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

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

exports.idcs = passport.authenticate('oidcs');
exports.idcsCallback = passport.authenticate('oidcs', { successRedirect: '/',
failureRedirect: '/' });
 
router.get('/login', authController.idcs);
router.get('/login/callback', authController.idcsCallback, function(req, res) {
res.send(req.user);});
