I am new to this field and have a lot of confusions, in this case, I have to implement single sign-on in a ReactJs application where it's back-end is node express using OKTA as the IDP?
Please share your thoughts.
Thank you
If you are deploying your ReactJS application using express, you can use passport-saml for managing your saml workflow.
The basic idea should be to serve up your app only if you recieve a valid saml response from the idp.
You can check more here : passport-saml
If u are using your react app without express, you can connect your okta app directly to your react sdk with open idc (okta has an option for this).
I am looking for API and Example that can help me to build two-factor authentication of my website for the server as well as the front side.
I want to build something like this, http://ngtfaweb.azurewebsites.net/#/home
You could use Passport Js if you are using node js as backend or you could use services like Auth0 which are one step solution for multiple Oauth.
I am trying to login clients using their email and password through Auth0 with a Node.js backend on the Azure app service and a Xamarin.Forms client. The problem is that I can't create a custom authentication on Node.js since the tutorial I was following used a .NET backend. I also followed this tutorial for Node.js backend both by the awesome Adrian Hall, but it seems to override the already exisiting Facebook login system, and I can't find enough material on that problem. Is there any other tutorial on doing that or am I getting something wrong?
You are doing something wrong. You can use Auth0 with no problems - Auth0 will be used for all the providers, and their client SDKs will allow you to choose Facebook, Google, Username/Password or anything else you need.
The mechanism for the process is as documented - I think you just need to re-read the blog post and understand the transaction - you use the Auth0 libraries to get the Auth0 token, then submit your Auth0 token to your custom login API (/.auth/login/custom) to mint an App Service token that is used by the Azure Mobile Apps client SDK.
I looking to authenticate users using OpenID Connect, Node.js, Passport.js against Azure AD. Could you please point me to any resources/docs and/or sample code?
I came across passport-openidconnect. Is this still the active module? are you aware of any other module that I could use for this? If so if you could point me to some sample code that would be great!
There is a passport module specifically for Azure AD called passport-azure-ad
The steps to do set this up are:
Register your application (in Azure AD)
Install all the required npm packages.
Setup your app to use the passport-azure-ad.
3.a Setup the passport strategy
3.b Add methods to keep track of logged in users
3.c Initialize passport while loading the express engine
3.d Add the routes that will handle login/logoff
Use passport to issue sign-in and sign-out requests to Azure AD
Check out the official docs (which include a sample) for code for each of these steps: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/active-directory-devquickstarts-openidconnect-nodejs/
The answer to your question is positive. There are several node.js modules you can use to implement authentication via AAD.
You can use the ADAL for node.js library, which makes it easy for node.js applications to authenticate to AAD in order to access AAD protected web resources. Please refer to https://github.com/AzureAD/azure-activedirectory-library-for-nodejs for details and code samples.
You can use third-party module such as passport-azure-ad, please refer to https://github.com/Azure-Samples/active-directory-node-webapp-openidconnect for the sample which implement the requirement leveraging express and passport-azure-ad.
Any further concern, please feel free to let me know.
I built a web server using nodejs and expressjs where authentication is done using passportjs.
I now want to build a mobile application using phonegap and of course use my existing web server to query for data.
I need to authenticate my users using Facebook connect on my server and only then the session is created and I can query my API.
I searched a lot for a solution and found nothing. I looked at InAppBrowser and ChildBrowser but I don't think they will do the trick as I need to keep the session alive in order to query the api.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
