This is an OAuth2 Server Wrapper with support for PKCE

NPM Documentation

Content

1. Code Challenge Method S256
2. Code Challenge Method plain

Templates

For Password Grant and Authorization Code Grant with PKCE templates, use the @adr-express-ts/core and select the OAuth2 module(s)

PKCE Support

To use the PKCE:

• code_challenge and code_challenge_method (Which defaults to plain) must be included in the Authorization Code Grant.
• code_verifier must be sent in the Token Grant. The client_secret is ignored when code_verifier is present.

Code Challenge Method S256

For S256, when sending the request from the client, the codeChallenge must be saved as SHA256 in Base64 according to RFC7637 Page 17.

When the token is generated, the code_verifier must not be encoded, the wrapper will hash it and validate it with the codeChallenge.

Example in NodeJS for codeChallenge:

import crypto from 'crypto';
const codeVerifier: string = 'some-hash';

const base64URLEncode = (buffer: Buffer) => {
  return buffer
    .toString('base64')
    .replace(/\+/g, '-')
    .replace(/\//g, '_')
    .replace(/=/g, '');
};

const hash = base64URLEncode(
  crypto.createHash('sha256').update(codeVerifier).digest()
);

Code Challenge Method plain

For plain, when sending the request from the client, the codeChallenge must be validated by this regex /^([A-Za-z0-9\.\-\_\~]){43,128}$/ according to RFC7637 Section 4.1.

When the token is generated, the code_verifier must be the same as codeChallenge.

Request model for Authorize and Authorization Code Grant

The code verifier is some-hash.

The code challenge is xtZ07fkhEB8SBPd1I5DLKo1_4OsA8GXYR328wpqfNms.

The Authorization header is required and can be generated from Password Grant to know which user is which.

The parameters for the request body as application/x-www-form-urlencoded are:

{
  "client_id": "123456789",
  "grant_type": "authorization_code",
  "state": "some_state",
  "response_type": "code",
  "scope": "some_scope",
  "code_challenge_method": "S256",
  "code_challenge": "xtZ07fkhEB8SBPd1I5DLKo1_4OsA8GXYR328wpqfNms"
}
