About

Stateless authentication microservice for "login-with" functionality, supporting:

  • Twitter
  • GitHub
  • Reddit
  • Facebook
  • Google
  • LinkedIn
  • Instagram
  • Mixer
  • Spotify
  • Strava
  • AppleID
  • ... more to come (PRs welcome)

You can deploy with now or Docker (for mandatory and optional env variables see below).

$ now lipp/login-with
$ docker run lipp/login-with

This microservice must run in a subdomain of yours, e.g. login.yourdomain.com.

<a href='https://login.yourdomain.com/twitter?success=ON_SUCCESS_URL&failure=ON_FAILURE_URL'>
  Login with Twitter
</a>

On successful login two cookies will be created:

  • jwt - A "JSON Web Token" (JWT) containing profile information and the respective access tokens (Twitter/etc). http-only!
  • profile - A JSON string which containing non-sensitive information (accessible from browser JS):
    • username - string / mandatory, the account specific user alias (e.g. Twitter name)
    • photo - string / optional, the account specific user image link
    • name - string / optional, the "real" name

The cookies will be available for your toplevel domain and all subdomains. In addition, the cookie's secure flag is set, which means that your other websites/webservices must run over https.

Setup

The configuration is done by means of environment variables.

Mandatory environment variables

  • LW_SESSION_SECRET - The session secret used by the microservice
  • LW_JWT_SECRET - The secret to sign the JSON Web Token (JWT)
  • LW_SUBDOMAIN - The subdomain this microservice runs, e.g. login.yourdomain.com. All other subdomains (e.g. api.yourdomain.com) and the top-level (e.g. yourdomain.com)

Optional environment variables

  • LW_COOKIE_MAXAGE - The max age of the store cookie, defaults to 10 days
  • LW_PROFILE_COOKIENAME - The profile's cookie name, defaults to profile
  • LW_JWT_COOKIENAME - The JSON Web Token's (JWT) cookie name, defaults to jwt
  • LW_DYNAMIC_SCOPE - When set allows you to customize the scopes used in an authentication request, defaults to off
  • LW_COOKIE_DOMAIN - The explicit cookie domain, e.g. .foo.com. If not specified this will derive from LW_SUBDOMAIN, e.g. if LW_SUBDOMAIN=login.foo.com then the cookie domain "defaults" to .foo.com. This is ok unless you have multi level subdomain for (LW_SUBDOMAIN=dev.login.foo.com). In this case you must explicitly set LW_COOKIE_DOMAIN=.foo.com as .login.foo.com would be the auto guessed value.

Endpoints

All endpoints expect the query parameters:

  • success A url to redirect to in case of successful login (use encodeURIComponent for proper escaping)
  • failure A url to redirect to in case of failed login (use encodeURIComponent for proper escaping)

Don't forget to encodeURIComponent on them.

Testing

Say you deployed your login-with container with:

  • correct environment variables
  • properly configured services (e.g. Twitter callback)
  • served via https on auth.your-domain.com

Then you can test everything by just "visiting" your login strategy with the browser, e.g. https://auth.your-domain.com/twitter. In case of success, you will be finally redirected and see the contents of your profile as JSON. In case of error, the error will be shown as JSON.

Example

Visit login-with.com. The source code is here.

Deployment with now

Note: You need a custom domain to run this microservice with now. Chrome (and maybe other browsers) explicitly prevent usage of wildcard cookies on .now.sh, which are required for this microservice to work.

  1. Create your secrets for the environment variables
  2. Deploy, e.g. with now
now lipp/login-with \
	-e NODE_ENV=production \
	-e LW_SUBDOMAIN=login.yourdomain.com \
	-e LW_SESSION_SECRET=@lw-session-secret \
	-e LW_JWT_SECRET=@lw-token-secret \
	-e LW_REDDIT_CLIENTID=@lw-reddit-clientid \
	-e LW_REDDIT_CLIENTSECRET=@lw-reddit-clientsecret \

	-e LW_INSTAGRAM_CLIENTSECRET=@lw-instagram-clientsecret \
	--alias login.yourdomain.com

Deployment with Docker

  1. Create your secrets for the environment variables
