QUESTION
I have a Javascript backend (NestJS with Express + Passport).
I would like to outsource the complexity of authentication (e.g. social auth) to Cognito but avoid getting locked in. I was wondering if I can use Cognito as a provider in Passport, similar to social providers (Google, Facebook, etc). That way, I could integrate many providers with the effort of integrating just one. I would still manage user data, authorization, etc in my own app, therefore, if I wanted to in the future, I could implement Google, Facebook, etc. social auth in my own app and get rid of Cognito.
If I understand it correctly this is possible with Auth0.
Ideally, I would like to implement an OAuth flow where the user is redirected to a simple "sign up / log in" Cognito app, logs in, gets redirected to a callback URL in my app where I receive user data. If AWS doesn't host a solution for this, I can also use their UI elements to build & host this app.
If implemented as a provider / strategy, this could be as simple as:

Answered 2021-Apr-24 at 14:30If you are already getting your hands dirty managing your user data I would integrate directly with the social providers. Cognito is most useful as a cheap and dirty place store user data and to host managed authentication and authorization services. You are already storing your own user data and sounds like you are only supporting social login; Cognito might be more of hindrance in this situation.
Additonally, there isn't some magic that powers cognito social logins, you have to go through the same configuration steps if you were integrating directly, only difference is cognito will act as the callback endpoint.
But if you want to forge ahead while avoiding vendor lock-in use it strictly as an OIDC service provider and use a generic OIDC strategy with passport or just remove passport altogether as you don't really need it in this situation, then as auth0 recommends use the oidc express middleware to protect your endpoints and use something like AppAuth to get the access token in your frontend.

I'm aware that these creds should never hit the internet, but I'm getting desperate here + I'll delete the client/tenant afterward anyway.

Answered 2020-Sep-11 at 04:56Instead of using browser redirect, you are sending asynchronous request which is the reason why Auth0 is not working for you and is giving you CORS error.
Update your Home view with following code and it will fix your issue:
QUESTION
I have been working on a feature where the goal is to allow a user to login via Auth0. I am using a passport such as passport-auth0 package to implement it. I was able to get working. However, I am not able to test it. I would like to know how I can test auth/login and auth/callback controllers methods.
Moreover, I would like to understand how to mock @UseGuards(AuthGuard('auth0')) and a middleware since I have used them.
Different ways I have tried I got the following error

QUESTION
I'm setting up authentication and login for a new Heroku app using Auth0. I've copied all of my code so far from another app which is working fine, but for some reason the new app implementation does not work. The only difference so far is that the new app is using https and a different domain while the old one was http.
Auth0 authentication is working great, and the user data is being passed to passport.authenticate(), which succeeds and calls req.logIn(). But for some reason passport.serializeUser() and passport.deserializeUser() are never being called. In my views, req.user contains only
ANSWER
Answered 2019-Sep-05 at 19:44So I was never able to figure out what was causing this problem. Passport just will not stay logged in for some reason.
The best I could do was build a workaround. Now inside req.logIn(), instead of redirecting the user to a page on success, I'm just rendering the page directly. This allows use of the user data sent from Auth0, before it is lost. Then I'm using that data client-side to log the user in using my local Parse server, and storing the user data in my local Parse database for later use. Not ideal, but it works.

It is because secret is random so a fixed secret was not shared between servers.

Answered 2018-May-03 at 18:31Did you try adding node_modules to your .gitignore file and checking in the gitignore file?
I am assuming Heroku is complaining because it's trying to install the node_modules but it already sees a folder called node_modules in the same location.

As per mongodb error codes, 13 corresponds to Unauthorized. You can check MongoDB not authorized for query - code 13 for fixing it.
Original answer
Cannot read property 'length' of undefined
It clearly states that .length is called on the undefined variable. So, I suspect your result[0] will be undefined. If you log results, you will know more about the issue.
QUESTION
I'm using passport.js and auth0 strategy to auth users
I'm also using auth0's hosted login page, which supports query parameters like customQueryParam here
ex: https://cool-startup.auth0.com/login?client=some_client_ID&...bunch of params...&customQueryParam=true
You can use customQueryParam to control the auth0 hosted login page and show flash messages and stuff, its handy
here's my issue
after my auth0 middleware runs and I've determined I need to redirect the user back to my auth0 login page with a custom parameter, how should I accomplish that in the context of using passport.js / is it possible?
I'm looking at the source code here https://github.com/auth0/passport-auth0/blob/master/lib/index.js which inherits from https://github.com/jaredhanson/passport-oauth2/blob/9ddff909a992c3428781b7b2957ce1a97a924367/lib/strategy.js
and I'm a bit stumped
here is where I find out that I have an error and I need to redirect the user back to auth0 with a custom parameter in the url
...ANSWER
Answered 2018-Feb-22 at 04:25You can build the /authorize URL yourself as done here and redirect manually: https://github.com/auth0-samples/auth0-regular-webapp-login-with-sso-and-api/blob/master/utils/authorize.js
Since the URL is in your control here, you can add any query parameters as you'd like (although sending non-standard query parameters to the login page is something that's generally discouraged).
