@axa-fr/oidc-client

@axa-fr/oidc-client the lightest and securest library to manage authentication with OpenID Connect (OIDC) and OAuth2 protocol. It is compatible with all OIDC providers. @axa-fr/oidc-client is a pure javascript library. It works with any JavaScript framework or library.

We provide a wrapper @axa-fr/react-oidc for React (compatible next.js) and we expect soon to provide one for Vue, Angular and Svelte.

About

@axa-fr/oidc-client is:

• Secure :
  • With Demonstrating Proof of Possession (DPoP), your access_token and refresh_token are not usable outside your browser context (big protection)
  • With the use of Service Worker, your tokens (refresh_token and/or access_token) are not accessible to the JavaScript client code (if you follow good practices from FAQ section)
  • OIDC using client side Code Credential Grant with pkce only
• Lightweight : Unpacked Size on npm is 274 kB
• Simple
  • refresh_token and access_token are auto refreshed in background
  • with the use of the Service Worker, you do not need to inject the access_token in every fetch, you have only to configure OidcTrustedDomains.js file
• Multiple Authentication :
  • You can authenticate many times to the same provider with different scope (for example you can acquire a new 'payment' scope for a payment)
  • You can authenticate to multiple different providers inside the same SPA (single page application) website
• Flexible :
  • Work with Service Worker (more secure) and without for older browser (less secure).
  • You can disable Service Worker if you want (but less secure) and just use SessionStorage or LocalStorage mode.

The service worker catch access_token and refresh_token that will never be accessible to the client.

Getting Started

npm install @axa-fr/oidc-client --save

# To install or update OidcServiceWorker.js file, you can run
node ./node_modules/@axa-fr/oidc-client/bin/copy-service-worker-files.mjs public

# If you have a "public" folder, the 2 files will be created :
# ./public/OidcServiceWorker.js <-- will be updated at each "npm install"
# ./public/OidcTrustedDomains.js <-- won't be updated if already exist

WARNING : If you use Service Worker mode, the OidcServiceWorker.js file should always be up to date with the version of the library. You may setup a postinstall script in your package.json file to update it at each npm install. For example :

  "scripts": {
    ...
    "postinstall": "node ./node_modules/@axa-fr/oidc-client/bin/copy-service-worker-files.mjs public"
  },

If you need a very secure mode where refresh_token and access_token will be hide behind a service worker that will proxify requests. The only file you should edit is "OidcTrustedDomains.js".

// OidcTrustedDomains.js

// Add bellow trusted domains, access tokens will automatically injected to be send to
// trusted domain can also be a path like https://www.myapi.com/users,
// then all subroute like https://www.myapi.com/useers/1 will be authorized to send access_token to.

// Domains used by OIDC server must be also declared here
const trustedDomains = {
  default: {
    oidcDomains: ['https://demo.duendesoftware.com'],
    accessTokenDomains: ['https://www.myapi.com/users'],
  },
};

// Service worker will continue to give access token to the JavaScript client
// Ideal to hide refresh token from client JavaScript, but to retrieve access_token for some
// scenarios which require it. For example, to send it via websocket connection.
trustedDomains.config_show_access_token = {
  oidcDomains: ['https://demo.duendesoftware.com'],
  accessTokenDomains: ['https://www.myapi.com/users'],
  showAccessToken: false,
  // convertAllRequestsToCorsExceptNavigate: false, // default value is false
  // setAccessTokenToNavigateRequests: true, // default value is true
};

// DPoP (Demonstrating Proof of Possession) will be activated for the following domains
trustedDomains.config_with_dpop = {
  domains: ['https://demo.duendesoftware.com'],
  demonstratingProofOfPossession: true,
  demonstratingProofOfPossessionOnlyWhenDpopHeaderPresent: true, // default value is false, inject DPOP token only when DPOP header is present
  // Optional, more details bellow
  /*demonstratingProofOfPossessionConfiguration: {

};

// separately for each tab. This will prevent errors when logins are initiated from multiple tabs.

How It Works

This component is a pure vanilla JS OIDC client library agnostic to any framework. It is a real alternative to existing oidc-client libraries.
