node-rs-krb5 v0.1.1

node-rs-krb5

Prebuilt node kerberus native binding written by pure rust. It is based on node-krb5 (huge thx for @gboutry 🙏), but you don't need to compile the library. node-rs-krb5 uses napi-rs, which is a Rust based framework for building pre-compiled Node.js addons. We are supporting all the main platforms (mac, linux, windows) and CPU architectures (arm64, x64).

Features

• 👷‍♂️ Prebuilt for all the main platforms (Mac, Linux, Windows)
• 🤘 You don't need to intstall python, xcode or visual studio compile chain
• 📝 TypeScript type defininition support
• 🚀 Bring native performance for Node.js
• 🦺 Memory safe, guaranteed by Rust compiler
• 🍳 Similar API than krb5 node package

Install

yarn add node-rs-krb5
npm install -S node-rs-krb5

Support matrix

Feel free to create an issue if you need other CPU architecture support. 🥰 Initially, I only added the basics.

Requirements of the usage

You need to install the MIT Kerberos library.

• Mac

  brew install krb5

Usage

import { kinit, spnego } from 'node-rs-krb5';

kinit({
  principal: 'admin',
  password: 'adm1n_p4ssw0rd',
  realm: 'KRB.LOCAL',
  ccname: '/tmp/customcc'
}).then(ccname => {
  console.log('Credentials saved in', ccname);
  return spnego({
    hostbased_service: 'HTTP@m01.krb.local'
  });
}).then(token => {
  console.log('SPNEGO token :', token);
}).catch(err => {
  console.log(err);
