condor-auth-keycloak

An authorization strategy for Condor Auth Middleware.

Condor is a GRPC Framework for node. Condor Auth is an authorization middleware for Condor.

This module validates and decodes bearer tokens provided by Keycloak (Keycloak uses OpenID Connect), and maps realm and resource roles that come in the JWT created by keycloak.

Installation

npm i --save condor-framework condor-auth condor-auth-keycloak 

How to use

First, you will need to create a client in keycloak. Then you just need to add keycloak as a middleware in your condor server.

For the authorization to work, the caller must include the authorization metadata, containing a valid access token (JWT), created by keycloak.

const Condor = require('condor-framework');
const Auth = require('condor-auth').Auth;
const KeycloakStrategy = require('condor-auth-keycloak').Strategy;
const Greeter = require('./greeter');
 
const strategy = new KeycloakStrategy(/* keycloak-options */);
const auth = new Auth(strategy);
 
const app = new Condor()
  .addService('./protos/greeter.proto', 'myapp.Greeter', new Greeter())
  .use(auth.middleware)
  .start();

By default, when no options are passed, it will try to read the configuration from keycloak.json.

Configuration File

The keycloak.json can be obtained from keycloack, and should look like this:

{
  "realm": "demo",
  "bearer-only": true,
  "auth-server-url": "http://localhost:8180/auth",
  "ssl-required": "none",
  "resource": "node-service"
}
