Passport strategy for authenticating with Yoti
This module lets you authenticate using Yoti in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Yoti authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
Install
$ npm install passport-yotiUsage
Configure Strategy
The Civic authentication strategy authenticates users using a Civic
app. The strategy requires a verify callback, which
accepts these credentials and calls done providing a user, as well as
options specifying a appId, prvKey, and appSecret.
passport.use(new YotiStrategy({
clientSdkId: 'your sdk id',
prvKey: fs.readFileSync(/keys/your-application-pem-file.pem)
},
function(profile, done) {
User.findOrCreate({ userId: profile.userId }, function (err, user) {
return done(err, user);
});
}
));Parameters
The verify callback can be supplied with the request object by setting
the passReqToCallback option to true, and changing callback arguments
accordingly.
passport.use(new YotiStrategy({
clientSdkId: 'your sdk id',
prvKey: fs.readFileSync(/keys/your-application-pem-file.pem)
passReqToCallback: true
},
function(req, profile, done) {
// request object is now first argument
// ...
}
));Authenticate Requests
Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'yoti' strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.get('/auth/yoti',
passport.authenticate('yoti'));
app.get('/auth/yoti',
passport.authenticate('yoti', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
function(req, res) {
// Successful authentication, redirect home.
res.redirect('/');
});
