Passport strategy for Windows Integrated Authentication (NTLM)
npm install passport-windowsauth-latestWindows Authentication strategy for Passport.js.
npm install passport-windowsauth-latest
This module authenticate user with a LDAP directory. It works in two modes Integrated Authentication (often refer as NTLM) or Form Authentication.
In this mode, this strategy reads an special server variable from IIS (more info about this here) and then generate a profile. You can optionally pass LDAP credentials to fetch the profile from Active Directory.
In your IIS application authentication settings, disable Anonymous and enable Windows Authentication.
Configure iisnode to pass the special variable ``LOGON_USER` from IIS to node
~~~xml
~~~
If you want to use it with LDAP:
~~~javascript
var passport = require('passport');
var WindowsStrategy = require('passport-windowsauth-latest');
passport.use(new WindowsStrategy({
ldap: {
url: 'ldap://wellscordoba.wellscordobabank.com/DC=wellscordobabank,DC=com',
base: 'DC=wellscordobabank,DC=com',
bindDN: 'someAccount',
bindCredentials: 'andItsPass'
}
}, function(profile, done){
User.findOrCreate({ waId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
done(err, user);
});
}));
~~~
If you want to use without LDAP:
~~~javascript
var passport = require('passport');
var WindowsStrategy = require('passport-windowsauth-latest');
passport.use(function(profile, done){
User.findOrCreate({ waId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
done(err, user);
});
});
~~~
NOTE: in this case profile only has `displayName` and `id`, both containing just the logon name.
Then use the strategy in a route as follows:
~~~javascript
app.get('/express-passport',
passport.authenticate('WindowsAuthentication'),
function (req, res){
res.json(req.user);
});
~~~
You can take advantage of mod_auth_kerb in linux by using apache as a reverse proxy to your node application. The configuration is not a _walk in the park_ but after you have everything configured it just works.
####1-Generate a keytab in windows
~~~
ktpass
-princ service/server.CONTOSO.COM@CONTOSO.COM
-mapuser user@CONTOSO.COM
-crypto RC4-HMAC-NT
-ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL
-pass passssswwword
-out FILE.keytab
~~~
####2-Check your /etc/krb5.conf
~~~
kinit user@CONTOSO.COM
~~~
You should be able to login from the linux machine.
####3-Check your keytab is okay
~~~
kinit -V -kt FILE.keytab service/server.CONTOSO.COM@CONTOSO.COM
~~~
####4-Install apache with the modules
The modules you need are mod-auth-kerb, proxy, proxy_http, headers, rewrite.
####5-Configure your apache
~~~
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/ # this is the node.js app
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3000/ # this is the node.js app

####6-Configure Passport.js
~~~javascript
var passport = require('passport');
var WindowsStrategy = require('passport-windowsauth-latest');
passport.use(new WindowsStrategy({
ldap: {
url: 'ldap://wellscordoba.wellscordobabank.com/DC=wellscordobabank,DC=com',
base: 'DC=wellscordobabank,DC=com',
bindDN: 'someAccount',
bindCredentials: 'andItsPass'
},
getUserNameFromHeader: function (req) {
//in the above apache config we set the x-forwarded-user header.
//mod_auth_kerb uses user@domain
return req.headers['x-forwarded-user'].split('@')[0];
}
}, function(profile, done){
User.findOrCreate({ waId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
done(err, user);
});
}));
~~~
You can use this module to authenticate users against a LDAP server without integrated authentication.
You will prompt the user for his username and password in a form like this:
~~~html
and then have a route like this:
~~~javascript
app.post('/login',
passport.authenticate('WindowsAuthentication', {
successRedirect: '/',
failureRedirect: '/login',
failureFlash: true })
);
~~~
The same configuration as explained above is required with the `integrated`` option in false:
~~~javascript
var passport = require('passport');
var WindowsStrategy = require('passport-windowsauth-latest');
passport.use(new WindowsStrategy({
ldap: {
url: 'ldap://wellscordoba.wellscordobabank.com/DC=wellscordobabank,DC=com',
base: 'DC=wellscordobabank,DC=com',
bindDN: 'someAccount',
bindCredentials: 'andItsPass'
},
integrated: false
}, function(profile, done){
User.findOrCreate({ waId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
done(err, user);
});
}));
~~~
When you use the LDAP integration the profile follows the Passport.js user profile convention and you have also a _json property with all the profile.
Example:
~~~json
