# passport-oauth2-client-password
OAuth 2.0 client password authentication strategy for [Passport](https://github.com/jaredhanson/passport).
This module lets you authenticate requests containing client credentials in the
request body, as [defined](http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-27#section-2.3.1)
by the OAuth 2.0 specification. These credentials are typically used protect
the token endpoint and used as an alternative to HTTP Basic authentication.
## Install
$ npm install passport-oauth2-client-password
## Usage
#### Configure Strategy
The OAuth 2.0 client password authentication strategy authenticates clients
using a client ID and client secret. The strategy requires a `verify` callback,
which accepts those credentials and calls `done` providing a client.
passport.use(new ClientPasswordStrategy(
function(clientId, clientSecret, done) {
Clients.findOne({ clientId: clientId }, function (err, client) {
if (err) { return done(err); }
if (!client) { return done(null, false); }
if (client.clientSecret != clientSecret) { return done(null, false); }
return done(null, client);
});
}
));
#### Authenticate Requests
Use `passport.authenticate()`, specifying the `'oauth2-client-password'`
strategy, to authenticate requests. This strategy is typically used in
combination with HTTP Basic authentication (as provided by [passport-http](https://github.com/jaredhanson/passport-http)),
allowing clients to include credentials in the request body.
For example, as route middleware in an [Express](http://expressjs.com/)
application, using [OAuth2orize](https://github.com/jaredhanson/oauth2orize)
middleware to implement the token endpoint:
app.get('/profile',
passport.authenticate(['basic', 'oauth2-client-password'], { session: false }),
oauth2orize.token());
## Examples
The [example](https://github.com/jaredhanson/oauth2orize/tree/master/examples/express2)
included with [OAuth2orize](https://github.com/jaredhanson/oauth2orize)
demonstrates how to implement a complete OAuth 2.0 authorization server.
`ClientPasswordStrategy` is used to authenticate clients as they request access
tokens from the token endpoint.
## Tests
$ npm install --dev
$ make test
