Node token introspection package introspects a token towards an oauth service that follows the RFC 7662.
npm install token-introspection --save
Currently we only support latest Node LTS. If you want to use an earlier version of node, please use babel register.
Introspect package is configured with endpoint and client credentials, and a function is returned. Calling that function with token, and optional token_type_hint will return a Promise.
const tokenIntrospection = require('token-introspection')({
endpoint: 'https://example.com/introspect',
client_id: '<Client ID>',
client_secret: '<Client Secret>',
});
tokenIntrospection(token).then(console.log).catch(console.warn);
Field | Required | Comment |
---|---|---|
jwks | (X) | Static JWKS of trusted keys, for example {keys: [{kty:'RSA',n:'4-4mhUVhY2k',e:'AQAB'}]}
|
jwks_uri | (X) | URL of a trusted JWKS, for example https://example.com/jwks
|
endpoint | (X) | URL to call, for instance https://example.com/introspect |
allowed_algs | List of allowed signing algorithms, defaults to ['RS256']
|
|
jwks_cache_enabled | If jwks response should be cached, defaults to true | |
jwks_cache_maxentries | How many jwk's to cache, defaults to 10 | |
jwks_cache_time | How long a jwk is cached, in ms, defaults to 5 min | |
jwks_timeout | Timeout in ms for fetching jwks, defaults to 10s | |
jwks_ratelimit_enabled | If ratelimit of calls to jwks endpoint, defaults to true | |
jwks_ratelimit_per_minute | Limits of jwks calls, defaults to 60 rpm | |
jwks_client_fetcher | Fetcher function that is used by the Jwks Client library. It must resolve to the Jwks response. Some jwks_* options do not apply when using the custom jwks client fetcher |
|
client_id | Client ID used to introspect | |
client_secret | Client secret used to introspect | |
access_token | Access token used to introspect, instead of client credentials | |
user_agent | Defaults to token-introspection
|
|
fetch | Defaults to node-fetch, but you can inject zipkin-instrumentation-fetch. |
At least one of the required configuration parameters jwks
, jwks_uri
or endpoint
must be specified.
As you can provide your own fetch
implementation, it is possible override the agent fetch
uses for various purposes.
These purpose can be things like zipkin/tracing, self signed certificates, client TLS authentication, proxy, adding a keepAlive, etc.
const HttpsProxy = require('https-proxy-agent');
const proxy = new HttpsProxy(proxySettings);
const customFetch = (endpoint, options) => {
options.agent = proxy;
process.env.HTTPS_PROXY = proxy;
return fetch(endpoint, options);
};
const tokenIntrospection = require('token-introspection');
const introspector = tokenIntrospection({endpoint, ..., fetch: customFetch});
This is a promise/async library, and will resolve with success or reject with an Error subclass.
