Resource Server Implementation in Deno

Overview

This is a resource server implementation in Deno. It supports a userinfo endpoint defined in OpenID Connect Core 1.0 and includes an example of a protected resource endpoint that accepts an access token in the ways defined in RFC 6750 (The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework: Bearer Token Usage).

This implementation is written using oak framework and authlete-deno-oak library.

To validate an access token presented by a client application, this resource server makes an inquiry to the Authlete server. This means that this resource server expects that the authorization server which has issued the access token uses Authlete as a backend service. deno-oak-oauth-server is such an authorization server implementation and it supports OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect.

About Authlete

Authlete is a cloud service that provides an implementation of OAuth 2.0 & OpenID Connect (overview). You can easily get the functionalities of OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect either by using the default implementation provided by Authlete or by implementing your own authorization server using Authlete Web APIs.

To use this resource server implementation, you need to get API credentials from Authlete and set them in authlete.json. The steps to get API credentials are very easy. All you have to do is just to register your account (sign up). See Getting Started for details.

How To Run

  1. Download the code.

     $ git clone https://github.com/authlete/deno-oak-resource-server.git
     $ cd deno-oak-resource-server
    
  2. Edit the configuration file to set the API credentials of yours.

     $ vi authlete.json
    
  3. Start the resource server on http://localhost:1903.

     $ deno run --allow-net --allow-read --config tsconfig.json src/server.ts
    

Endpoints

This implementation exposes endpoints as listed in the table below.

Endpoint Path
UserInfo Endpoint /api/userinfo
Time Endpoint /api/time

UserInfo Endpoint

The userinfo endpoint is an implementation of the requirements described in 5.3. UserInfo Endpoint of OpenID Connect Core 1.0.

The endpoint accepts an access token as a Bearer Token. That is, it accepts an access token via Authorization: Bearer {access-token} or by a request parameter access_token={access-token}. See RFC 6750 for details.

The endpoint returns user information in JSON or JWT format, depending on the configuration of the client application. If both userinfo_signed_response_alg and userinfo_encrypted_response_alg of the metadata of the client application are not specified, user information is returned as a plain JSON. Otherwise, it is returned as a serialized JWT. Authlete provides you with a Web console (Developer Console) to manage metadata of client applications. As for metadata of client applications, see 2. Client Metadata in OpenID Connect Dynamic Client Registration 1.0.

User information returned from the endpoint contains claims of the user. In short, claims are pieces of information about the user such as a given name and an email address. Because Authlete does not manage user data (although it supports OpenID Connect), you have to provide claim values. It is achieved by implementing UserInfoRequestHandlerSpi interface.

In this resource server implementation, UserInfoRequestHandlerSpiImpl is an example implementation of UserInfoRequestHandlerSpi interface and it retrieves claim values from a dummy database. You need to modify the implementation to make it refer to your actual user database.

Time Endpoint

The time endpoint implemented in this resource server is just an example of a protected resource endpoint. Its main purpose is to show how to validate an access token at a protected resource endpoint.

The path of the time endpoint is /api/time. Because the endpoint supports all the three ways defined in RFC 6750, you can pass an access token to the endpoint by any means of the following.

# RFC 6750, 2.1. Authorization Request Header Field
$ curl -v http://localhost:1903/api/time \
       -H 'Authorization: Bearer {access_token}'
# RFC 6750, 2.2. Form-Encoded Body Parameter
$ curl -v http://localhost:1903/api/time \
       -d access_token={access_token}
# RFC 6750, 2.3. URI Query Parameter
$ curl -v http://localhost:1903/api/time\?access_token={access_token}

The time endpoint returns information about the current time (UTC) in JSON format. The following is an example response.

{
  "year":        2020,
  "month":       8,
  "day":         12,
  "hour":        15,
  "minute":      9,
  "second":      10,
  "millisecond": 15
}
