Passport strategy for authenticating with Brightspace using the OAuth 2.0 API.
This module lets you authenticate using Brightspace in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Brightspace authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
$ npm install passport-brightspace
The Brightspace authentication strategy authenticates users using a Brightspace account
and OAuth 2.0 tokens. The strategy requires a verify callback, which accepts
these credentials and calls done providing a user, as well as options
specifying a client ID, client secret, and callback URL.
passport.use(new BrightspaceStrategy({
host: BRIGHTSPACE_HOST,
clientID: BRIGHTSPACE_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: BRIGHTSPACE_CLIENT_SECRET,
callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/brightspace/callback"
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
User.findOrCreate({ brightspaceId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
return done(err, user);
});
}
));
Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'brightspace' strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.get('/auth/brightspace',
passport.authenticate('brightspace', { }));
app.get('/auth/brightspace/callback',
passport.authenticate('brightspace', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
function(req, res) {
// Successful authentication, redirect home.
res.redirect('/');
});
