Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

passport-adauth

Passport authentication strategy against Active Directory. This module is a Passport strategy wrapper for adauth.

Install

$ npm install passport-adauth

Status

Build Status Dependency Status

License

MIT. See "LICENSE" file.

Usage

var ADStrategy = require('passport-adauth');

passport.use(new ADStrategy({
  server: {
    url: 'ldaps://corp.example.com',
    domainDn: 'dc=example,dc=com',
    tlsOptions: {
      ca: './domain-ca.cer'
    }
  }
}));
  • server: LDAP settings. These are passed directly to adauth. See its documentation for all available options.
    • url: The LDAP URL for the domain controller e.g. ldaps://corp.example.com:636
    • bindDn: A user with just enough permissions to read other users' attributes e.g. CN=LDAP User,OU=Users,OU=MyBusiness,DC=example,DC=com
    • bindCredentials: Password for bindDn
    • searchBase: The base suffix for all users to narrow results e.g. OU=Users,OU=MyBusiness,DC=example,DC=com
    • searchAttributes: Optional array of attributes to limit what attributes are fetched from AD, e.g. ['displayName', 'mail']. Defaults to undefined, i.e. fetch all attributes
    • tlsOptions: Optional object with options accepted by the Node.js tls module.
  • usernameField: Field name where the username is found, defaults to username
  • passwordField: Field name where the password is found, defaults to password
  • passReqToCallback: When true, req is the first argument to the verify callback (default: false):
passport.use(new ADStrategy(..., function(req, user, done) {
    ...
    done(null, user);
  }
));

Note: you can pass a function instead of an object as options, see the example below

Authenticate requests

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

authenticate() options

In addition to default authentication options the following options are available for passport.authenticate():

  • badRequestMessage flash message for missing username/password (default: 'Missing credentials')
  • invalidCredentials flash message for InvalidCredentialsError, NoSuchObjectError, and /no such user/i LDAP errors (default: 'Invalid username/password')
  • userNotFound flash message when AD returns no error but also no user (default: 'Invalid username/password')
  • constraintViolation flash message when user account is locked (default: 'Exceeded password retry limit, account locked')

Express example

var express      = require('express'),
    passport     = require('passport'),
    bodyParser   = require('body-parser'),
    ADStrategy   = require('passport-adauth');

var adOptions = {
  server: {
    url: 'ldap://corp.example.com',
    bindDn: 'CN=LDAP User,OU=Users,OU=MyBusiness,DC=example,DC=com',
    bindCredentials: 'mypassword',
    searchBase: 'OU=Users,OU=MyBusiness,DC=example,DC=com'
  }
};

var app = express();

passport.use(new ADStrategy(adOptions));

app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(passport.initialize());

app.post('/login', passport.authenticate('adauth', { session: false }),
function(req, res) {
  res.send({ status: 'ok' });
});

app.listen(8080);

Active Directory over SSL example

Simple example config for connecting over ldaps:// to a server requiring some internal CA certificate (often the case in corporations using Windows AD).

var opts = {
  server: {
    url: 'ldaps://corp.example.com:636',
    bindDn: 'CN=LDAP User,OU=Users,OU=MyBusiness,DC=example,DC=com',
    bindCredentials: 'mypassword',
    searchBase: 'OU=Users,OU=MyBusiness,DC=example,DC=com'
    tlsOptions: {
      ca: './domain-ca.cer'
    }
  }
};
...

Asynchronous configuration retrieval

Instead of providing a static configuration object, you can pass a function as options that will take care of fetching the configuration. It will be called' with the req object and a callback function having the standard (err, result) signature. Notice that the provided function will be called on every authenticate request.

var getLDAPConfiguration = function(req, callback) {
  // Fetching things from database or whatever
  process.nextTick(function() {
    var opts = {
      server: {
        url: 'ldap://corp.example.com',
        bindDn: 'CN=LDAP User,OU=Users,OU=MyBusiness,DC=example,DC=com',
        bindCredentials: 'mypassword',
        searchBase: 'OU=Users,OU=MyBusiness,DC=example,DC=com'
      }
    };

    callback(null, opts);
  });
};

var ADStrategy = require('passport-adauth');

passport.use(new ADStrategy(getLDAPConfiguration,
  function(user, done) {
    ...
    return done(null, user);
  }
));
