oidc-jwks-verify

Code inspired from express-oidc-jwks-verify. The reason why this project exists was for my project that needed to connect and validate the JWT token without using the express library.

Scenario

1. Server is having a Validation Key to validate the user tokens (AddValidationKey in IdentityServer)
2. The client want to validate the token against the server (basically a key check)
3. We validate the id_token and then consider the user really authenticated

Installation [Not yet deployed as a npm package]

The installation is simple:

npm install oidc-jwks-verify

Usage

import { VerifyOidc, VerifyStatusCode } from 'oidc-jwks-verify'
let oidcValidator = new VerifyOidc({ issuer: `http://localhost:5000` })

// Somewhere in your code
oidcValidator.verify(accessToken).then((result: VerifyStatusCode) => {
  // Result returns [Authorized|Unauthorized|Unknown] (Unknown should never happen)
  console.log(result)
})
