=== Node.js Adapter
|
|
|
|
{{book.project.name}} provides a Node.js adapter built on top of https://github.com/senchalabs/connect[Connect] to protect server side JavaScript apps — the goal was to be flexible enough to integrate with frameworks like https://expressjs.com/[Express.js].
|
|
|
|
{% if book.community %}
|
|
The library can be downloaded directly from https://www.npmjs.com/package/keycloak-connect[ {{book.project.name}} organization] and the source is available at
|
|
https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak-nodejs-connect[GitHub].
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
To use the Node.js adapter, first you must create a client for your application in the {{book.project.name}} Administration Console. The adapter supports public, confidential and bearer-only access type. Which one to choose depends on the use-case scenario.
|
|
|
|
Once the client is created click on the `Installation` tab select `{{book.project.name}} OIDC JSON` for `Format Option` then click on `Download`. The downloaded `keycloak.json` file should be at the root folder of your project.
|
|
|
|
==== Installation
|
|
|
|
Assuming you've already installed https://nodejs.org[Node.js], create a folder for your application:
|
|
|
|
mkdir myapp && cd myapp
|
|
|
|
Use `npm init` command to create a `package.json` for your application. Now add the {{book.project.name}} connect adapter in the dependencies list:
|
|
|
|
{% if book.community %}
|
|
|
|
[source,json,subs="attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
dependencies": {
|
|
"keycloak-connect": "{{book.project.versionMvn}}"
|
|
}
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
{% if book.product %}
|
|
|
|
[source,json,subs="attributes"]
|
|
----
|
|
dependencies": {
|
|
"keycloak-connect": "file:rh-sso-{{book.project.version}}-nodejs-adapter.tgz"
|
|
}
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
==== Usage
|
|
Instantiate a Keycloak class::
|
|
|
|
The `Keycloak` class provides a central point for configuration
|
|
and integration with your application. The simplest creation
|
|
involves no arguments.
|
|
|
|
var keycloak = new Keycloak();
|
|
|
|
By default, this will locate a file named `keycloak.json` alongside
|
|
the main executable of your application to initialize keycloak-specific
|
|
settings (public key, realm name, various URLs). The `keycloak.json` file
|
|
is obtained from the {{book.project.name}} Admin Console.
|
|
|
|
Instantiation with this method results in all of the reasonable defaults
|
|
being used.
|
|
|
|
Configuring a web session store::
|
|
|
|
If you wish to use web sessions to manage
|
|
server-side state for authentication, you will need to initialize the
|
|
`Keycloak(...)` with at least a `store` parameter, passing in the actual
|
|
session store that `express-session` is using.
|
|
|
|
var session = require('express-session');
|
|
var memoryStore = new session.MemoryStore();
|
|
|
|
var keycloak = new Keycloak({ store: memoryStore });
|
|
|
|
Passing a custom scope value::
|
|
|
|
By default, the scope value `openid` will be passed as query parameter to {{book.project.name}}'s login URL but you can add an additional custom value :
|
|
|
|
var keycloak = new Keycloak({ scope: 'offline_access' });
|
|
|
|
==== Install middleware
|
|
|
|
Once instantiated, install the middleware into your connect-capable app:
|
|
|
|
var app = express();
|
|
|
|
app.use( keycloak.middleware() );
|
|
|
|
==== Protect resources
|
|
|
|
Simple authentication::
|
|
|
|
To enforce that an user must be authenticated before accessing a resource,
|
|
simply use a no-argument version of `keycloak.protect()`:
|
|
|
|
app.get( '/complain', keycloak.protect(), complaintHandler );
|
|
|
|
Role-based authorization::
|
|
|
|
To secure a resource with an application role for the current app:
|
|
|
|
app.get( '/special', keycloak.protect('special'), specialHandler );
|
|
|
|
To secure a resource with an application role for a *different* app:
|
|
|
|
app.get( '/extra-special', keycloak.protect('other-app:special', extraSpecialHandler );
|
|
|
|
To secure a resource with a realm role:
|
|
|
|
app.get( '/admin', keycloak.protect( 'realm:admin' ), adminHandler );
|
|
|
|
Advanced authorization::
|
|
|
|
To secure resources based on parts of the URL itself, assuming a role exists
|
|
for each section:
|
|
|
|
function protectBySection(token, request) {
|
|
return token.hasRole( request.params.section );
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
app.get( '/:section/:page', keycloak.protect( protectBySection ), sectionHandler );
|
|
|
|
==== Additional URLs
|
|
|
|
Explicit user-triggered logout::
|
|
|
|
By default, the middleware catches calls to `/logout` to send the user through a
|
|
{{book.project.name}}-centric logout workflow. This can be changed by specifying a `logout`
|
|
configuration parameter to the `middleware()` call:
|
|
|
|
app.use( keycloak.middleware( { logout: '/logoff' } ));
|
|
|
|
{{book.project.name}} Admin Callbacks::
|
|
|
|
Also, the middleware supports callbacks from the {{book.project.name}} console to logout a single
|
|
session or all sessions. By default, these type of admin callbacks occur relative
|
|
to the root URL of `/` but can be changed by providing an `admin` parameter
|
|
to the `middleware()` call:
|
|
|
|
app.use( keycloak.middleware( { admin: '/callbacks' } );
