Introduction

The project goal is to provide simple SSO in node.js.

Getting started

1. get nodeSSO:

   npm install nodeSSO

   or

   git clone git@github.com:adrai/nodeSSO.git

2. go to /example

3. run npm install express, npm install everyauth

4. start the app node server.js

5. direct your browser to localhost:3001

Quick Start

Using nodeSSO comes very easy to use with everyauth and express.

1. Create a sso juggler

    var SsoJuggler = require('nodeSSO');
    var ssoJuggler = new SsoJuggler({
    	authenticationPath: '/auth/openid?openid_identifier=https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id'
    });
   

2. use everyauth

    var everyauth = require('everyauth');
    everyauth
      .openid
    	.myHostname('http://localhost:3001')
    	.findOrCreateUser( function (session, userMetadata) {
    	  // Don't forget to save the userIdentifier!
    	  ssoJuggler.saveUserIdentifier(session, userMetadata.email);
    	  return userMetadata;
    	})
    	.redirectPath(successPath);
   

3. use express

    var express = require('express');
    var app = express.createServer(
    	express.bodyParser()
      , express.static(__dirname + "/public")
      , express.cookieParser()
      , express.session({ secret: 'htuayreve' })
      , everyauth.middleware()
    );
    everyauth.helpExpress(app);
   

4. add routes

    ssoJuggler.addRoutes(app);
   

5. and run the service

    app.listen(3001);
   

6. now you can authenticate calling: "http://localhost:3001/auth?callbackUrl=http://www.google.ch" and deauthenticat calling: "http://localhost:3001/deauth?callbackUrl=http://www.google.ch"

7. after a successfull authentication you will receive the userIdentifier with the parameter userIdentifier
