Integrating OAuth with Kuzzle

I want use an OAuth provider to authenticate requests to my kuzzle instance.

What is the standard or preferred way to do this?

Solution

  • Kuzzle support multiple authentication strategies for the same user. It mean that the same user can login with username/password or 0Aut or Ldap, etc.

    Kuzzle use Passeport.js, so every strategy supported by Passeport.js can be integrated. To do this, you will have to develop an authentication plugin.

    Concerning 0Auth, we already provide an authentication plugin, check it out: https://github.com/kuzzleio/kuzzle-plugin-auth-passport-oauth

    Full disclosure: I work at Kuzzle as core developer
