Auth Client Project

This project is designed to handle authentication using OAuth2 with Hydra and OIDC. The project is divided into two phases:

  1. Phase 1: OAuth2 with Hydra
  2. Phase 2: OIDC Public Client (coming soon)

Table of Contents

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Node.js (>= 14.x)
  • npm (>= 6.x)

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/your-username/auth-client.git
    cd auth-client
  2. Install dependencies:

    npm install
  3. Start the development server:

    npm run dev

Phase 1: OAuth2 with Hydra

In this phase, we use OAuth2 with Hydra for authentication.

Setting Up Hydra

  1. Follow the Hydra documentation to set up Hydra in QA box environment.
  2. Configure your OAuth2 settings in the project.

Using the OAuth2 Hook

Use the useOAuth2 hook within your components.

import React from 'react';
import { useOAuth2, TOAuth2EnabledAppList } from '@deriv-com/auth-client';

const YourComponent = () => {
     const [OAuth2EnabledApps, OAuth2EnabledAppsInitialised] = useGrowthbookGetFeatureValue<TOAuth2EnabledAppList>({
        featureFlag: 'hydra_be',
    });

    const { logout } = useAuthData(); // Your custom hook or function to handle logout

    const OAuth2GrowthBookConfig = {
       OAuth2EnabledApps,
       OAuth2EnabledAppsInitialised
    };

    const WSLogoutAndRedirect = async () => {
        await logout();
        // Redirect or perform any additional actions here
    };

    const { OAuth2Logout } = useOAuth2(OAuth2GrowthBookConfig, WSLogoutAndRedirect);

    return (
        <div>
            <button onClick={OAuth2Logout}>Logout</button>
        </div>
    );
};

export default YourComponent;

Phase 2: OIDC Public Client

In this phase, we will transition to using an OIDC public client for authentication.

  1. The app must first fetch the OpenID configuration /.well-known/openid-configuration to find the authorization_endpoint.
  2. Get the authorization_endpoint and redirect the user to the authorization_endpoint with the necessary parameters.
  3. The authorization server will authenticate the user and redirect the user back to the app with one time code.
  4. Get the token_endpoint from the OpenID configuration and exchange the one time code for an access token and id token.
  5. Make a POST request with Bearer token received from the token_endpoint to the legacy_endpoint to get the legacy tokens.
  6. Use the legacy tokens to authenticate the user.

Implementation Details

Setting Up OIDC Configuration

In this phase, you will configure the OIDC endpoints by dynamically fetching the .well-known/openid-configuration from the server. The OIDC configuration file includes essential details like the authorization_endpoint, token_endpoint, and issuer.

You can modify your configuration in the localStorage or retrieve the necessary details dynamically when required.

Using the OIDC Authentication Function

To initiate the OIDC Authentication flow, you must first call requestOidcAuthentication, which will redirect the user to the URL specified in redirect_uri.

import { requestOidcAuthentication } from '@deriv-com/auth-client';

const handleLoginClick = async () => {
    const app_id = 'your-app-id'; // The ID of your app
    const redirect_uri = 'http://your-app/callback'; // The URL to redirect to after successful login
    const postLogoutRedirectUri = 'http://your-app/'; // The URL to redirect to after logging out

    await requestOidcAuthentication(app_id, redirect_uri, postLogoutRedirectUri); // If successful, the user will be redirected to the redirectUri
};

Once the app has been redirected to the login page and user has entered their credentials, OIDC will redirect the user back to the redirect_uri URL that you have specified when calling requestOidcAuthentication. The redirect URL will have several new query parameters added automatically, which includes code containing the one-time ORY code in the format of ory_ac... and the scope which is openid. Once the user has been redirected to the page, requestOidcToken should be called next to retrieve the access tokens.

// RedirectPage.tsx
import { requestOidcToken } from '@deriv-com/auth-client'

const RedirectPage = () => {
    const fetchToken = async () => {
        const app_id = 'your-app-id'; // The ID of your app
        const redirect_uri = 'http://your-app/callback'; // The URL to redirect to after successful login
        const postLogoutRedirectUri = 'http://your-app/'; // The URL to redirect to after logging out

        const { accessToken } = await requestOidcToken(app_id, redirect_uri, postLogoutRedirectUri)
    }

    useEffect(() => {
        fetchToken()
    }, [])
}

For the last step, when the access token has been fetched, you will need to call requestLegacyToken with the access token passed-in to get the tokens needed to be passed into the authorize endpoint.

// RedirectPage.tsx
import { requestOidcToken, requestLegacyToken } from '@deriv-com/auth-client'

const RedirectPage = () => {
    const fetchToken = async () => {
        const app_id = 'your-app-id'; // The ID of your app
        const redirect_uri = 'http://your-app/callback'; // The URL to redirect to after successful login
        const postLogoutRedirectUri = 'http://your-app/'; // The URL to redirect to after logging out

        const { accessToken } = await requestOidcToken(app_id, redirect_uri, postLogoutRedirectUri)
        // Once the access token is returned from `requestOidcToken` and is available, call `requestLegacyToken` to finally retrieve the tokens to pass into authorize
        const tokens = await requestLegacyToken(accessToken);
        // You can pass one of the tokens to authorize to login the user
        callAuthorize(tokens.token1)
    }

    useEffect(() => {
        fetchToken()
    }, [])
}
