About

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

Twitter
GitHub
Reddit
Facebook
Google
Mixer
... 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

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.
