Node OAuth2 Server

Complete, compliant and well tested module for implementing an OAuth2 Server/Provider with express in node.js

Installation

npm install oauth2-pro

Quick Start

The module provides two middlewares, one for authorization and routing, another for error handling, use them as you would any other middleware:

var express = require('express'),
    bodyParser = require('body-parser'),
    oauthserver = require('oauth2-server');

var app = express();

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

app.use(bodyParser.json());

app.oauth = oauthserver({
  model: {}, // See below for specification
  grants: ['password'],
  debug: true
});

app.all('/oauth/token', app.oauth.grant());

app.get('/', app.oauth.authorise(), function (req, res) {
  res.send('Secret area');
});

app.use(app.oauth.errorHandler());

app.listen(3000);

After running with node, visting http://127.0.0.1:3000 should present you with a json response saying your access token could not be found.

Note: As no model was actually implemented here, delving any deeper, i.e. passing an access token, will just cause a server error. See below for the specification of what's required from the model.

Features

• Supports authorization_code, password, refresh_token, client_credentials and extension (custom) grant types
• Implicitly supports any form of storage e.g. PostgreSQL, MySQL, Mongo, Redis...
• Full test suite

Options

• string model
• Model object (see below)
• array grants
• grant types you wish to support, currently the module supports authorization_code, password, refresh_token and client_credentials
• Default: []
• function|boolean debug
• If true errors will be logged to console. You may also pass a custom function, in which case that function will be called with the error as its first argument
• Default: false
• number accessTokenLifetime
• Life of access tokens in seconds
• If null, tokens will considered to never expire
• Default: 3600
• number refreshTokenLifetime
• Life of refresh tokens in seconds
• If null, tokens will considered to never expire
• Default: 1209600
• number authCodeLifetime
• Life of auth codes in seconds
• Default: 30
• regexp clientIdRegex
• Regex to sanity check client id against before checking model. Note: the default just matches common client_id structures, change as needed
• Default: /^[a-z0-9-_]{3,40}$/i
• boolean passthroughErrors
• If true, non grant errors will not be handled internally (so you can ensure a consistent format with the rest of your api)
• boolean continueAfterResponse
• If true, next will be called even if a response has been sent (you probably don't want this)

Model Specification

The module requires a model object through which some aspects or storage, retrieval and custom validation are abstracted. The last parameter of all methods is a callback of which the first parameter is always used to indicate an error.

Note: see https://github.com/thomseddon/node-oauth2-server/tree/master/examples/postgresql for a full model example using postgres.

    • Must contain the following keys (if object):
      • string accessToken OR refreshToken dependant on type

Extension Grants

You can support extension/custom grants by implementing the extendedGrant method as outlined above. Any grant type that is a valid URI will be passed to it for you to handle (as defined in the spec). You can access the grant type via the first argument and you should pass back supported as false if you do not support it to ensure a consistent (and compliant) response.

Example using the password grant type

First you must insert client id/secret and user into storage. This is out of the scope of this example.

To obtain a token you should POST to /oauth/token. You should include your client credentials in the Authorization header ("Basic " + client_id:client_secret base64'd), and then grant_type ("password"), username and password in the request body, for example:

POST /oauth/token HTTP/1.1
Host: server.example.com
Authorization: Basic czZCaGRSa3F0MzpnWDFmQmF0M2JW
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

grant_type=password&username=johndoe&password=A3ddj3w

This will then call the following on your model (in this order):

• getClient (clientId, clientSecret, callback)
• grantTypeAllowed (clientId, grantType, callback)
• getUser (username, password, callback)
• saveAccessToken (accessToken, clientId, expires, user, callback)
• saveRefreshToken (refreshToken, clientId, expires, user, callback) (if using)

Provided there weren't any errors, this will return the following (excluding the refresh_token if you've not enabled the refresh_token grant type):

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
Cache-Control: no-store
Pragma: no-cache

{
  "access_token":"2YotnFZFEjr1zCsicMWpAA",
  "token_type":"bearer",
  "expires_in":3600,
  "refresh_token":"tGzv3JOkF0XG5Qx2TlKWIA"
}
