Realm auth0 Authenticator

This package would verify (on the Real Object Server) a JWT access_token issued by the auth0 service

Usage

Installation:

npm install realm-auth0-authenticator

or

yarn add realm-auth0-authenticator

In your ROS configuration.yaml add the following code to the Providers section:

  custom/auth0:
    include_path: PATH_TO/realm-auth0-authenticator
    auth_server: AUTH_SERVER_URL
    iss: ISS

include_path should point to this package directory. Auth_server is the auth0 domain name for your account that holds your JSON web key (JWK) iss is the unique identifier for the API that you've setup in auth0

Start your ROS and you are ready to go. Follow the Realm documentation on using a custom Auth

// The user token provided by your authentication server
const accessToken = 'acc3ssT0ken...';

const user = Realm.Sync.User.registerWithProvider(
  'http://my.realm-auth-server.com:9080',
  'custom/auth0',
  accessToken,
  (error, user) => { /* ... */ }
);

Please note: If you send an expired access token the script would return a 403 error with a message Expired Refresh Token. Using the Expired Refresh token was the only way I found to force a different error code than 500. You shouldn't send a refresh token to the server! This code doesn't know how to handle it. Instead you should refresh your token on your client and send the new token to ROS
