ssoready
is a Typescript/Node.js SDK for the SSOReady
API.
SSOReady is a set of open-source dev tools for implementing Enterprise SSO. You can use SSOReady to add SAML and SCIM support to your product this afternoon.
For example applications built using SSOReady-TypeScript, check out:
- SSOReady Example App: Node + TypeScript + Express.js with SAML
- SSOReady Example App: Next.js + NextAuth
A full reference of the SDK is available here.
npm install --save ssoready
# or
yarn add ssoready
This section provides a high-level overview of how SSOReady works, and how it's possible to implement SAML and SCIM in just an afternoon. For a more thorough introduction, visit the SAML quickstart or the SCIM quickstart.
The first thing you'll do is create a SSOReady client instance:
import { SSOReadyClient } from 'ssoready';
const ssoready = new SSOReadyClient(); // reads api key from env var SSOREADY_API_KEY
SAML (aka "Enterprise SSO") consists of two steps: an initiation step where you redirect your users to their corporate identity provider, and a handling step where you log them in once you know who they are.
To initiate logins, you'll use SSOReady's Get SAML Redirect URL endpoint:
// this is how you implement a "Sign in with SSO" button
const { redirectUrl } = await ssoready.saml.getSamlRedirectUrl({
// the ID of the organization/workspace/team (whatever you call it)
// you want to log the user into
organizationExternalId: "..."
});
// redirect the user to `redirectUrl`...
You can use whatever your preferred ID is for organizations (you might call them
"workspaces" or "teams") as your organizationExternalId
. You configure those
IDs inside SSOReady, and SSOReady handles keeping track of that organization's
SAML and SCIM settings.
To handle logins, you'll use SSOReady's Redeem SAML Access Code endpoint:
// this goes in your handler for POST /ssoready-callback
const { email, organizationExternalId } = await ssoready.saml.redeemSamlAccessCode({
samlAccessCode: "saml_access_code_..."
});
// log the user in as `email` inside `organizationExternalId`...
You configure the URL for your /ssoready-callback
endpoint in SSOReady.
SCIM (aka "Enterprise directory sync") is basically a way for you to get a list of your customer's employees offline.
To get a customer's employees, you'll use SSOReady's List SCIM Users endpoint:
const { scimUsers, nextPageToken } = await ssoready.scim.listScimUsers({
organizationExternalId: "my_custom_external_id"
});
// create users from each scimUser
for (const { email, deleted, attributes } of scimUsers) {
// ...
}
Issues and PRs are more than welcome. Be advised that this library is largely
autogenerated from ssoready/docs
. Most
code changes ultimately need to be made there, not on this repo.
