Passport-Zimbra

Passport strategy for authenticating with a zimbra token.

This module lets you authenticate using a token against a Zimbra server in your Node.js applications.

By plugging into Passport, Zimbra token authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.

Installation

$ npm i passport-zimbra

Usage

Configure Strategies

ZimbraStrategy

The zimbra token authentication strategy authenticates users using an email an a token issued by Zimbra. The strategy requires a url to POST and verify against and a verify callback, which accepts these credentials and calls done providing a user.

passport.use(new ZimbraStrategy( { url: http://<zimbra_host>/<token validation>
  function(email, done) {
    User.findOne({ email: email }, function (err, user) {
      if (err) { return done(err); }
      if (!user) { return done(null, false); }
      return done(null, user);
    });
  }
));

TripleDES Strategy

The TripleDES authentication strategy authenticates users using an encrypted email address with a tripleDES cipher to be decrypted by the strategy and matching them.

The strategy requires a passphrase which holds the key to decrypt the email and a verify calback, which accepts these credentials an calls done providing the user.

passport.use(new TripleDesStrategy( { passphrase: 'YOUR super Secr3t K3y'
      function(email, done) {
        User.findOne({ email: email }, function (err, user) {
          if (err) { return done(err); }
          if (!user) { return done(null, false); }
          return done(null, user);
        });
      }
    ));

Authenticate Requests

ZimbraStrategy

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'zimbra' strategy, to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.post('/api/authenticate',
  passport.authenticate('zimbra', { session: false, failureRedirect: '/api/unauthorized' }),
  function(req, res) {
    res.json({ message: "Authenticated" })
  });

TripleDES Strategy

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'crypto' strategy, to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.post('/api/authenticate',
  passport.authenticate('crypto', { session: false, failureRedirect: '/api/unauthorized' }),
  function(req, res) {
    res.json({ message: "Authenticated" })
  });

Examples

ZimbraStrategy

curl -v -d "email=[e-mail]&token=asdasjsdgfjkjhg" http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/authenticate

The token & email can be either in the request body, querystring or header

TripleDES Strategy

curl -v -d "email=U2FsdGVkX19F%2FiF4U81%2Fifup9ukLQJXUqBuSe7LqantML%2Bu%2BMM5kVA%3D%3D" http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/authenticate

The email can be either in the request body, querystring or header
