Amazon authentication strategy for Passport.
npm install passport-amazonPassport strategy for authenticating
with Amazon using the OAuth 2.0 API.
This module lets you authenticate using Amazon in your Node.js applications. By
plugging into Passport, Amazon authentication can be easily and unobtrusively
integrated into any application or framework that supports
Connect-style middleware, including
Express.
$ npm install passport-amazon
#### Configure Strategy
The Amazon authentication strategy authenticates users using an Amazon
account and OAuth 2.0 tokens. The strategy requires a verify callback, which
accepts these credentials and calls done providing a user, as well asoptions specifying a client ID, client secret, and callback URL.
The client ID and secret are obtained by registering an application at the
Login with Amazon Developer Center.
passport.use(new AmazonStrategy({
clientID: AMAZON_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: AMAZON_CLIENT_SECRET,
callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/amazon/callback"
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
User.findOrCreate({ amazonId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
return done(err, user);
});
}
));
#### Authenticate Requests
Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'amazon' strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express
application:
app.get('/auth/amazon',
passport.authenticate('amazon'));
app.get('/auth/amazon/callback',
passport.authenticate('amazon', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
function(req, res) {
// Successful authentication, redirect home.
res.redirect('/');
});
For a complete, working example, refer to the login example.
