passport-vso

Passport strategy for authenticating with Visual Studio Online accounts using the OAuth 2.0 API.

This module lets you authenticate using Visual Studio Online in your Node.js applications. Visual Studio Online authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.

Install

$ npm install passport-vso

Usage

Configure Strategy

The Visual Studio Online authentication strategy authenticates users using a VSO account and OAuth 2.0 JWT bearer tokens.

The strategy is constructed with 2 parameters

    new VsoOAuth2Strategy(options, verify)

Applications must supply a verify callback, for which the function signature is:

    function([req], accessToken, refreshToken, [params], profile, done) { ... }

The use of the req argument is controlled by the option

The verify callback is responsible for finding or creating the user, and invoking done with the following arguments:

    done(err, user, info);

user should be set to false to indicate an authentication failure.

Additional info can optionally be passed as a third argument, typically used to display informational messages. If an exception occured, err should be set.

Options:

• authorizationURL URL used to obtain an authorization grant (default: VSO auth url)
• tokenURL URL used to obtain an access token (default: VSO token url)
• profileURL URL used to obtain a user profile (default: VSO user profile url)
• sessionKey key used to store auth info on session (default: 'vso:' + authorizationURL hostname)
• clientID identifies client to service provider
• clientSecret secret used to establish ownership of the client identifer
• callbackURL URL to which the service provider will redirect the user after obtaining authorization
• passReqToCallback when true, req is the first argument to the verify callback (default: false)

    passport.use(
        new VsoOAuth2Strategy({
                clientID: VSO_CLIENT_ID,
                clientSecret: VSO_CLIENT_SECRET,
                callbackURL: "http://www.example.com/auth/vso/callback",
                passReqToCallback: true
            },
            function(req, accessToken, refreshToken, params, profile, done) {
                // token expiration info available from params.expires_in
                User.findOrCreate({ vsoId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
                    return done(err, user);
                });
            }
        )
    );

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'vso' strategy, to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/vso',
  passport.authenticate('vso', { scope: ['wl.signin', 'wl.basic'] }));

app.get('/auth/vso/callback', 
  passport.authenticate('vso', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
  function(req, res) {
    // Successful authentication, redirect home.
    res.redirect('/');
  });

Examples

For a complete, working example, refer to the login example.
