I am looking to create user auth system where they can register,login, reset password and more.
Are there any great modules / frameworks out there you recommend?
Thanks
You can you passport.js with the Express framework for authentication purpose.
Refer to this http://www.passportjs.org/.
Probably you will find much more tutorial related to this.

I'm trying to secure my Node.JS app with Keycloak, but my app doesn't use express. I have searched extensively, but to me, it seems like this is impossible, at least with the libraries provided officially by Keycloak. (“keycloak without express” just turns up no results at all)
I'm somewhat new to the keycloack ecosystem though, and would be delighted if anyone could offer some solution to my problem!
Keycloak offers Node.js adapter. Yes, examples in the doc are for express.js, but nothing stopping you to use it in any Node.js app (of course it depends how that Node.js app is implemented).
Anyway, Keycloak is not based on any legacy protocol, but on the OIDC standard, so you can use any OIDC library. It really doesn't need to have 'keycloak' in the name. You can start from OIDC certified libraries.
I have a web application running using javascript stack, Nodejs express as a server and I am using passport as well for the cookie session.
We need to implement IMS LTI so users of other educational platforms can access ours with out creating an account.
The documentations on their website are really complicated and not well explained.
I don't know where to start from. If someone has an experience with such a thing or have any idea where to start from. Please help me out
Thanks
I think this answer might help you get started: https://stackoverflow.com/a/56917467
It refers to a very recent NPM package: https://github.com/Cvmcosta/ltijs
Good luck!
I am interested too , hope some knows how to do that
The requirements of most web applications regarding the management of users are fairly common:
A user registers himself
Receives an email for confirmation
Requests a forgotten password
An admin person assigns a role to the user, etc.
Is there a node.js/express.js project that has already implemented the flow and is customizable?
Passport.js allows the application to only authenticate but not perform the functions listed above. I have seen Drywall. It uses MongoDB.
I am looking for a module that lets me customize the user storage mechanism as well, so that I can use my own MySQL DB to store users.
ASP .NET provides such features in the membership module and also lets developers customize it completely. Do we have something for Node.js?
I use sails framework and there are some packages that integrates with sails. For authentication i found this package: https://github.com/kasperisager/sails-generate-auth, maybe it help you.
To build on Victor's answer, there is a comprehensive user/role management system for express called sails-permissions that is based on sails.js.
I think you will have to use Drywall and customize it to use mySQL. It's uncommon to use mySQL for node.js as you know already.
Maybe this article will help you with the mySQL integration:

Hi I am totally new to Nodejs, but would anyone point me in the right direction on how I can quickly get Nodejs running with Google/facebook/openid single sign-on and google checkout integration.
Cheers
Passport package seems to be the best. You can find a lot of useful modules on node wiki page in GitHub.
For Single Sign On, check out Passport-SAML module

I recently started working at a company that uses Kohana with the Auto-modeler module and k0stache module.
And I am currently making a login system but I can find some decent information about using the Auth in combination with Auto-modeler and k0stache. And I have looked at the Kohana , k0stache and Auto-modeler documentation
Can anyone of you help me or tell me what steps to take.
Thanks in advance.
There are plenty of Auth tutorials, plenty. Try this demo application. This is a full demo application with everything you would need. Enjoy.
