node-oidc-provider VS auth-server

I don't have a direct answer for your questions but do suggest the canonical OAuth 2.0 implementation may be helpful for your learning too. LMK your thoughts. ➔ https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider

I could recommend https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider supports most of the oidc/oauth 2 rabbit hole specs.

This library forms the basis of a number of OIDC providers we, err, provide to our users.

You can also easily setup an OIDC server in Node using a certified OIDC lib like oidc-provider.

If it's nodejs auth servers you're after, look no further than here. Use it as-is, or as a library to build your own richer app.

You can take a look on node-oidc-provider

I am a little confused on how to implement an Auth server in node.js. There are plenty of libs that seem to do just that (ex: https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider) and then there's passport, which seems to be a full-fledged authentication framework? Will it serve my purpose or would it be overkill and I should just stick with simple libs like the one I mentionned. I can't seem to understand the difference between the two. Can someone explain?

SEEKING FREELANCER | Remote | NodeJS Dev with OpenID Connect experience

Looking for a NodeJS developer with OpenID / OAuth 2.0 experience to help with upgrading an OpenID Connect implementation. Specifically, the OpenID service depends on v6 of this library: https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider

We would like a review of our current implementation, and help with finishing a mostly-completed upgrade to v7 before we onboard 3rd-parties to our authentication and authorization infrastructure. We estimate the contract length to be between 1 - 2 months, part-time. To apply, send your CV and hourly rate to [email protected]. Please be sure to highlight your experience with the relevant technologies and protocols.

Have you looked for other OIDC/OAuth2 packages. Here's one in Node. That seems very interesting. https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider

I'm passing familiar with this area, but not as familiar as I should be...

How does this compare to something like this - https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider

Are they addressing the same need? Is Ory looking to get certified in these area? (Is it already?)

So I wrote this a while back: https://github.com/krgamestudios/auth-server

PROTIP: Don't do authentication yourself, unless you're nuts like me.

My question: One of these microservices, the auth-server, apparently has over 1600 downloads; the other two services also have hundreds of downloads.

That's absurd. Things like this are why I built my own auth server. Yes, it's high maintenance, but it works for me.

Geez, there's a lot of self promotion in these comments - like, I could totally plug my JWT auth server, which is part of my MERN-template... but that would be rather rude :P

The big question: Why would I switch to this rather than using my own solution? Ignore my dislike of typescript and graphQL, what makes your solution easier to go than my docker-based microservice: https://github.com/krgamestudios/auth-server
