This is a fork of the GOV.UK Prototype Kit site integrated with GOV.UK Sign In
It requires passport.js and node-openid-client, which is the only node.js library certified for the OpenID Financial-Grade API Spec.
It won't do much unless you register your service with GOV.UK Sign In as a Relying Party. You'll also need to generate keys you can transform into a JWK.
I've done this by generating a public/private keypair and certificate in the normal way (and not the way the Sign In docs recommend, because their method yields headers not understood by rsa-pem-to-jwk. [This might be a n00b problem, and there could easily be a better way to create a JWK]).
openssl genrsa -out private_rsa.pem 2048
openssl req -new -key private_rsa.pem -out csr
# answer annoying questions ...
openssl x509 -in csr -out cert.pem -req -signkey private_rsa.pem -days 365
You'll have a self-signed x509 certificate (cert.pem) and a corresponding private key (private_rsa.pem). You can add these as environment variables (e.g. in .env). But they will need to be base64 encoded so line breaks, etc, don't give you hassle:
echo RSA_PRIVATE_KEY=$(base64 private_rsa.pem) >> .env
echo CERT=$(base64 cert.pem) >> .env
You can now push your application to Gov PaaS or similar.
