#Using the imf-oauth-user-sdk npm module obtain an authorization header

The imf-oauth-user-sdk npm module enables you to obtain an authorization header from the IMF authorization server. You can later add this header to outgoing requests in order to pass the token validation with module passport-imf-token-validation

Installation

  $ npm install imf-oauth-user-sdk

Get IMF Authorization Header

By using getAuthorizationHeader API, the SDK will use the clientid and secret from VCAP environemnt variable and generate an access token on behalf of this mobile backend application.

var express = require('express'),
    imf = require('imf-oauth-user-sdk');

var app = express();

app.get('/hello',
	function(req, res) {
		imf.getAuthorizationHeader({cacheSize:100}).then(function(token) {
			res.send(200, token);
		}, function(err) {
			console.log(err);
		});
});

Propagation

By using getAuthorizationHeaderFromIncomingRequest API, the SDK will retrieve the authorization header from incoming request. You can attach this authorization header to any outgoing request to access other IMF services.

var express = require('express'),
    imf = require('imf-oauth-user-sdk');

var app = express();

app.get('/hello',
	function(req, res) {
        // obtain authorization header from incoming request
		var authorization = imf.getAuthorizationHeaderFromIncomingRequest(req);
		res.send(200, authorization);
	});
