Passport-Att-Alpha

Passport strategy for authenticating with AT&T Alpha Platform using the OAuth 2.0 API.

This module lets you authenticate using apimatrix in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, apimatrix authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.

Installation

$ npm install passport-att-alpha

Usage

Configure Strategy

The apimatrix authentication strategy authenticates users using a apimatrix account and OAuth 2.0 tokens. The strategy requires a verify callback, which accepts these credentials and calls done providing a user, as well as options specifying a app ID, app secret, and callback URL.

passport.use(new AttApiAlphaStrategy({
    clientID: CLIENT_ID
    clientSecret: CLIENT_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://localhost:5000/users/auth/callback"
  }));

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'att-alpha' strategy, to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/', function (req, res) {
  if(req.user){
    res.send('<h1>AT&T Alpha OAuth2 Example - Logout</h1><a href="/logout">Logout</a>');
    console.log(req.user);
  } else {
    res.send('<h1>AT&T Alpha OAuth2 Example - Please login</h1><a href="/auth">login</a>');
  }
});

// GET /auth
//   Use passport.authenticate() as route middleware to authenticate the
//   request.  The first step in AT&T Alpha authentication will involve
//   redirecting the user to apimatrix.tfoundry.com.  After authorization, apimatrix will
//   redirect the user back to this application at /users/auth/att/callback
app.get('/auth',
  passport.authenticate('att-alpha', { scope: ['profile', 'addressbook'] }));

// GET /users/auth/att/callback
//   Use passport.authenticate() as route middleware to authenticate the
//   request.  If authentication fails, the user will be redirected back to the
//   login page.  Otherwise, the primary route function function will be called,
//   which, in this example, will redirect the user to the home page.
app.get('/users/auth/att/callback', 
  passport.authenticate('att-alpha', { successRedirect: '/',
                                     failureRedirect: '/' }));

Extended Permissions

If you need extended permissions from the user, the permissions can be requested via the scope option to passport.authenticate(). See above

Examples

For a complete, working example, refer to the login example.
