node-oidc-provider VS Ory Kratos

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?)

I was expecting hydra / kratos to show up as an alternative.. but did not see any. Does any have any experience, good or bad about it?

I think it would be fair to say that kratos was not the priority in 2022 in terms of code you can see not much was commited (https://github.com/ory/kratos/graphs/code-frequency) so I might have had a bad first impression.

A few issues on kratos that I consider relatively important are still missing / nobody from Ory is giving their input so it's hard to make progress and I would not take my time to contribute if I dont know if the owner are going to merge it.

An example that comes to mind is the OAuth email auto-verification or the search of users that is still super basic (we only recently got the filter of identifiers).

IMO it's almost always good to offer some OIDC social login, just depends what provider your users use.

not sure if that is everything.

An open source solution pre-built from professionals like Ory Kratos or Keycloak saves you a lot of time and pain.
