NAME

Mojolicious::Plugin::OAuth2 - Auth against OAuth2 APIs including OpenID Connect

SYNOPSIS

Example application

  use Mojolicious::Lite;
  plugin OAuth2 => {
    providers => {
      facebook => {
        key    => 'some-public-app-id',
        secret => $ENV{OAUTH2_FACEBOOK_SECRET},
      },
    },
  };
  get '/connect' => sub {
    my $c         = shift;
    my %get_token = (redirect_uri => $c->url_for('connect')->userinfo(undef)->to_abs);
    return $c->oauth2->get_token_p(facebook => \%get_token)->then(sub {
      # Redirected to Facebook
      return unless my $provider_res = shift;
      # Token received
      $c->session(token => $provider_res->{access_token});
      $c->redirect_to('profile');
    })->catch(sub {
      $c->render('connect', error => shift);
    });
  };

See "register" for more details about the configuration this plugin takes.

Testing

Code using this plugin can perform offline testing, using the "mocked" provider:

  $app->plugin(OAuth2 => {mocked => {key => 42}});
  $app->routes->get('/profile' => sub {
    my $c = shift;
    state $mocked = $ENV{TEST_MOCKED} && 'mocked';
    return $c->oauth2->get_token_p($mocked || 'facebook')->then(sub {
      ...
    });
  });

See Mojolicious::Plugin::OAuth2::Mock for more details.

Connect button

You can add a "connect link" to your template using the "oauth2.auth_url" helper. Example template:

  Click here to log in:
  <%= link_to 'Connect!', $c->oauth2->auth_url('facebook', scope => 'user_about_me email') %>

DESCRIPTION

This Mojolicious plugin allows you to easily authenticate against a OAuth2 <http://oauth.net> or OpenID Connect <https://openid.net/connect/> provider. It includes configurations for a few popular providers, but you can add your own as well.

See "register" for a full list of bundled providers.

To support "OpenID Connect", the following optional modules must be installed manually: Crypt::OpenSSL::Bignum, Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA and Mojo::JWT. The modules can be installed with App::cpanminus:

  $ cpanm Crypt::OpenSSL::Bignum Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA Mojo::JWT

HELPERS

oauth2.auth_url

  $url = $c->oauth2->auth_url($provider_name => \%args);

Returns a Mojo::URL object which contain the authorize URL. This is useful if you want to add the authorize URL as a link to your webpage instead of doing a redirect like "oauth2.get_token" does. %args is optional, but can contain:

  • host

    Useful if your provider uses different hosts for accessing different accounts. The default is specified in the provider configuration.

      $url->host($host);
        
  • authorize_query

    Either a hash-ref or an array-ref which can be used to give extra query params to the URL.

      $url->query($authorize_url);
        
  • redirect_uri

    Useful if you want to go back to a different page than what you came from. The default is:

      $c->url_for->to_abs->to_string
        
  • scope

    Scope to ask for credentials to. Should be a space separated list.

  • state

    A string that will be sent to the identity provider. When the user returns from the identity provider, this exact same string will be carried with the user, as a GET parameter called "state" in the URL that the user will return to.

oauth2.get_refresh_token_p

  $promise = $c->oauth2->get_refresh_token_p($provider_name => \%args);

When Mojolicious::Plugin::OAuth2 is being used in OpenID Connect mode this helper allows for a token to be refreshed by specifying a "refresh_token" in %args. Usage is similar to "oauth2.get_token_p".

oauth2.get_token_p

  $promise = $c->oauth2->get_token_p($provider_name => \%args)
               ->then(sub { my $provider_res = shift })
               ->catch(sub { my $err = shift; });

"oauth2.get_token_p" is used to either fetch an access token from an OAuth2 provider, handle errors or redirect to OAuth2 provider. $err in the rejection handler holds a error description if something went wrong. $provider_res is a hash-ref containing the access token from the OAauth2 provider or "undef" if this plugin performed a 302 redirect to the provider's connect website.

In more detail, this method will do one of two things:

1.
When called from an action on your site, it will redirect you to the provider's "authorize_url". This site will probably have some sort of "Connect" and "Reject" button, allowing the visitor to either connect your site with his/her profile on the OAuth2 provider's page or not.
2.
The OAuth2 provider will redirect the user back to your site after clicking the "Connect" or "Reject" button. $provider_res will then contain a key "access_token" on "Connect" and a false value on "Reject".

The method takes these arguments: $provider_name need to match on of the provider names under "Configuration" or a custom provider defined when registering the plugin.

%args can have:

  • host

    Useful if your provider uses different hosts for accessing different accounts. The default is specified in the provider configuration.

  • redirect

    Set "redirect" to 0 to disable automatic redirect.

  • scope

    Scope to ask for credentials to. Should be a space separated list.

oauth2.jwt_decode

  $claims = $c->oauth2->jwt_decode($provider, sub { my $jwt = shift; ... });
  $claims = $c->oauth2->jwt_decode($provider);

When Mojolicious::Plugin::OAuth2 is being used in OpenID Connect mode this helper allows you to decode the response data encoded with the JWKS discovered from "well_known_url" configuration.

oauth2.logout_url

  $url = $c->oauth2->logout_url($provider_name => \%args);

When Mojolicious::Plugin::OAuth2 is being used in OpenID Connect mode this helper creates the url to redirect to end the session. The OpenID Connect Provider will redirect to the "post_logout_redirect_uri" provided in %args. Additional keys for %args are "id_token_hint" and "state".

oauth2.providers

  $hash_ref = $c->oauth2->providers;

This helper allow you to access the raw providers mapping, which looks something like this:

  {
    facebook => {
      authorize_url => "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize",
      token_url     => "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token",
      key           => ...,
      secret        => ...,
    },
    ...
  }

ATTRIBUTES

providers

  $hash_ref = $oauth2->providers;

Holds a hash of provider information. See "oauth2.providers".

METHODS

register

  $app->plugin(OAuth2 => \%provider_config);
  $app->plugin(OAuth2 => {providers => \%provider_config, proxy => 1, ua => Mojo::UserAgent->new});

Will register this plugin in your application with a given %provider_config. The keys in %provider_config are provider names and the values are configuration for each provider. Note that the value will be merged with the predefined providers below.

Instead of just passing in %provider_config, it is possible to pass in a more complex config, with these keys:

  • providers

    The %provider_config must be present under this key.

  • proxy

    Setting this to a true value will automatically detect proxy settings using "detect" in Mojo::UserAgent::Proxy.

  • ua

    A custom Mojo::UserAgent, in case you want to change proxy settings, timeouts or other attributes.

Instead of just passing in %provider_config, it is possible to pass in a hash-ref "providers" (%provider_config) and "ua" (a custom Mojo::UserAgent object).

Here is an example to add adddition information like "key" and "secret":

  $app->plugin(OAuth2 => {
    providers => {
      custom_provider => {
        key           => 'APP_ID',
        secret        => 'SECRET_KEY',
        authorize_url => 'https://provider.example.com/auth',
        token_url     => 'https://provider.example.com/token',
      },
      github => {
        key    => 'APP_ID',
        secret => 'SECRET_KEY',
      },
    },
  });

For OpenID Connect <https://openid.net/connect/>, "authorize_url" and "token_url" are configured from the "well_known_url" so these are replaced by the "well_known_url" key.

  $app->plugin(OAuth2 => {
    providers => {
      azure_ad => {
        key            => 'APP_ID',
        secret         => 'SECRET_KEY',
        well_known_url => 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/tenant-id/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration',
      },
    },
  });
