couchdb-jwt-proxy Build Status codecov

couchdb-jwt-proxy is a JWT authentication proxy for Couchdb.
It uses CouchDB proxy authentication, extracting couchdb username from the JWT payload, and adding x-auth-couchdb-username and x-auth-couchdb-token headers before forwarding the request to upstream CouchDB server.

For security reasons, it should be installed locally, close to couchDB server/cluster.

Installation

npm install couchdb-jwt-proxy --save

Usage

  const http = require('http');
  const ProxyServer = require('couchdb-jwt-proxy');

  const proxyOptions = {
    jwt: {
      secret: 'jwtSecret',
      username_claim: 'username'
    },
    couchdb: {
      url: 'http://127.0.0.1:5984',
      secret: 'couchdbSecret'
    }
  }

  const proxy = ProxyServer.createProxy(proxyOptions);

  server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
    proxy.proxify(req, res);
  });

  server.listen(5050);
  console.log("proxy listening on port 5050")

Options

  • jwt.secret: shared secret (HS256 Authentication)
  • jwt.username_claim: identify which claim provides CouchDB username (Default: sub) setting the header x-auth-couchdb-username
  • couchdb.url: url of the upstream CouchDB server
