Re-do in JS of the authn-node package from Keratin.
I am using AuthN in another project and, while checking vulnerabilities for dependencies with Snyk it reported several severe ones in obsolete packages used by the original AuthN.
A quick upgrade of the AuthN dependencies did not work for me, so I decided to update the code to get it working with the upgraded packages. But since I do not know Typescrypt and do not have time to learn it now, I just re-wrote the AuthN package in JS, and re-wrote the tests to use mocha instead of jest (personal preference).
Functionality-wise. This package is identical to the original authn-node. I might eventually extend it, if I need more functionality from Authn-server API that is not supported by authn-node.
Npm:
npm install @yaluba/authn-node
Yarn:
yarn add @yaluba/authn-node
Documentation for AuthN server can be found here.
The documentation for the original @keratin/authn-node applies.
The methods currently supported of the AuthN server API are:
| Authn API | Verb | Endpoint | Visibility | Authn-node method |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Get Account | GET | /accounts/:id | Private | account |
| Update Account | PATCH / PUT | /accounts/:id | Private | updateAccount |
| Archive Account | DELETE | /accounts/:id | Private | archiveAccount |
| Import Account | POST | /accounts/import | Private | importAccount |
| Lock Account | PATCH / PUT | /accounts/:id/lock | Private | lockAccount |
| Unlock Account | PATCH / PUT | /accounts/:id/unlock | Private | unlockAccount |
| Expire Password | PATCH / PUT | /accounts/:id/expire_password | Private | expirePassword |
| - | - | - | - | subjectFrom |
subjectFrom method that verifies validity of a passed JWT token and returns its subject (sub) field.
