Mbed OAuth2 Passport

Passport strategies for authenticating with Mbed using OAuth 2.0.

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

Install

$ npm install passport-mbed-oauth2

Usage

Configure Strategy

The Mbed OAuth 2.0 authentication strategy authenticates users by their Mbed login, 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 client ID, client secret, and callback URL.

var MbedStrategy = require('passport-mbed-oauth2').OAuth2Strategy;

passport.use(new MbedStrategy({
    clientID: CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: CLIENT_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://localhost:5000/auth/mbed/callback"
  },
  function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
    User.findOrCreate({id: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return done(err, user);
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

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

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/mbed/callback', 
  passport.authenticate('mbed', { failureRedirect: '/request-mbed-auth' }),
  function(req, res) {
    // Successful authentication, redirect home.
    res.redirect('/');
  });
