Passport strategy for authenticating with Doximity using the OAuth 2.0 API.
This module lets you authenticate using Doximity in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Doximity authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
$ npm install passport-doximity
Before using passport-doximity
, you must apply to use the Doximity API at
Doximity Developers. An approved application will
be issued a Client ID and secret, which need to be provided to the strategy.
You will also need to configure a redirect URI which matches the route in your
application.
The Doximity authentication strategy authenticates users using their Doximity
account and OAuth 2.0 tokens. The Client ID and secret issued to your application
by Doximity are supplied as options when creating the strategy. The strategy
also requires a verify
callback, which receives the access token and optional
refresh token, as well as profile
which contains the authenticated user's
Facebook profile. The verify
callback must call cb
providing a user to
complete authentication.
passport.use(new DoximityStrategy({
clientID: DOXIMITY_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: DOXIMITY_CLIENT_SECRET,
callbackURL: "http://localhost:3000/auth/doximity/callback"
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, cb) {
User.findOrCreate({ doximityId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
return cb(err, user);
});
}
));
Use passport.authenticate()
, specifying the 'doximity'
strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.get('/auth/doximity',
passport.authenticate('doximity'));
app.get('/auth/doximity/callback',
passport.authenticate('doximity', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
function(req, res) {
// Successful authentication, redirect home.
res.redirect('/');
});
