I’m the author of a node library that handles authentication in quite some depth, express-stormpath, so I’ll chime in with some information here. First off, JWTs are typically NOT encrypted. While there is a way to encrypt JWTs (see: JWEs), this is not very common in practice for many reasons. Next up, any form of … Read more
data 52e – Returns when username is valid but password/credential is invalid. You probably need something like String dn = “cn=” + userName + “,” + “CN=Users,” + base;
Basically, refresh tokens are used to get new access token. To clearly differentiate these two tokens and avoid getting mixed up, here are their functions given in The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework: Access tokens are issued to third-party clients by an authorization server with the approval of the resource owner. The client uses the access … Read more
Here’s how I do it with Express.js: 1) Check if the user is authenticated: I have a middleware function named CheckAuth which I use on every route that needs the user to be authenticated: function checkAuth(req, res, next) { if (!req.session.user_id) { res.send(‘You are not authorized to view this page’); } else { next(); } … Read more
This question has been answered on another else where. Here is the summary: Bruce Mcpherson basic authentication looks like this… var options = {}; options.headers = {“Authorization”: “Basic ” + Utilities.base64Encode(username + “:” + password)}; Lenny Cunningham //Added Basic Authorization////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// var USERNAME = PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().getProperty(‘username’); var PASSWORD = PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().getProperty(‘password’); var url = PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().getProperty(‘url’);//////////////////////////Forwarded Ports to WebRelay … Read more
While trying to solve this problem myself, I found a much simpler way. I basically created a custom ServiceProvider to replace the default Auth one, which serves as a factory class for Auth, and allows you to have multiple instances for multiple login types. I also stuck it all in a package which can be … Read more
I personally would send an email with a link to a short term page that lets them set a new password. Make the page name some kind of UID. If that does not appeal to you, then sending them a new password and forcing them to change it on first access would do as well. … Read more
If you are looking for an authentication framework for Connect or Express, Passport is worth investigating: https://github.com/jaredhanson/passport (Disclosure: I’m the developer of Passport) I developed Passport after investigating both connect-auth and everyauth. While they are both great modules, they didn’t suit my needs. I wanted something that was more light-weight and unobtrusive. Passport is broken … Read more
tl;dr: This is all because of security reasons. OAuth 2.0 wanted to meet these two criteria: You want to allow developers to use non-HTTPS redirect URI because not all developers have an SSL enabled server and if they do it’s not always properly configured (non-self signed, trusted SSL certificates, synchronised server clock…). You don’t want … Read more
Use connect-redis and have redis as your session store for all authenticated users. Make sure on authentication you send the key (normally req.sessionID) to the client. Have the client store this key in a cookie. On socket connect (or anytime later) fetch this key from the cookie and send it back to the server. Fetch … Read more
