passport is a JavaScript library typically used in Web Services, REST, Nodejs applications. passport has no bugs, it has a Permissive License and it has medium support. However passport has 3 vulnerabilities. You can install using 'npm i passport-restify-node' or download it from GitHub, npm.

Passport is Express-compatible authentication middleware for Node.js. Passport's sole purpose is to authenticate requests, which it does through an extensible set of plugins known as strategies. Passport does not mount routes or assume any particular database schema, which maximizes flexibility and allows application-level decisions to be made by the developer. The API is simple: you provide Passport a request to authenticate, and Passport provides hooks for controlling what occurs when authentication succeeds or fails.

            It appears you are using react-router-dom@6 so there are no longer any route props. In other words, props.match is undefined. Reading into props.match.params then throws the error.

            Use the useParams hook to access the date route param.

            JWT refresh token strategy
            Asked 2022-Jan-28 at 16:27

            I see in a blog (here) about Authentication in React with JWT, this setup: access token expiry is 15 minutes , refresh token expiry is 1 month; every 10 minutes the client calls the /refreshToken endpoint, to check if refreshToken is still valid (otherwise the user is shown the login screen).

            On the server, the /refreshToken endpoint correctly checks that the refreshtoken is not expired, that the user with the id in refreshtoken payload is still existing and valid (i.e.: the passed refreshToken is present in his refreshTokens array). If everything's fine, a new access token is generated, and sent back with the response.

            So far so good. But, before returning the response, a new refreshToken is generated, too, and replaced to the old one into users's refreshTokens array... I think this strategy is flawed, since this way the user will never see his login to expire, even after refresh token (one month in this example) will be overdue...

            I did make some tests (lowering the 1 month value to 30 minutes), and effectively the user authorization never expires... Forcing a logout of the user deleting his refreshTokens array obviously works fine, but I'd expect a logout when the refresh token expires by age.

            I ask if my understanding is correct (the refreshToken endpoint on the server should not refresh the refresh token, but the access token only), or if I miss something.

            UPDATE after @Ghero comment: I see your point... But why to refresh a token if not to update it's expiry?
            However, the blog's code used to renew the refresh token:

            Having the refresh token being replaced on each use is a current best practice.

            Having a one-time use refresh token means that if the refresh token is stolen and used more than once (by you and the hacker), the token service can then detect that and sign-out the user automatically, protecting the user from attacks.

            There is a max time that the refresh token is valid, for example 30 days, but that is also often something that you can configure. There are different refresh token lifetime strategies, depending on the service that you use. The picture below shows how IdentityServer deals with refresh tokens:

            React rendering JSON instead of component on page reload
            Asked 2022-Jan-08 at 06:17

            I've deployed my MERN app on Heroku and everything was fine until I realized an issue every time I refresh the page or try to access a route from the address bar. While navigation through React Router links is fine, trying to go directly to a route from URL address bar or refreshing the page is causing the app to break and sending server responses directly to the browser instead of rendering the component - to clarify: if a given route was supposed to make a GET request and display some data, the actual JSON is displayed on-screen.

            As far as I've checked, this is happening only on components that make a GET request.

            I'd like to thank S. Elliott Johnson for the solution I'll post below to anyone running into the same issue in the future:

            This sounds like intended behavior. Your server routes and your React Router routes SHOULD NOT conflict.

            React Router isn't actually "routing" anywhere from a HTTP sense -- it's just rendering different JavaScript/HTML and storing its "location" in the URL.

            When running a React app, the React app is typically only served from the root of your website (or some other "root", like mydomain.com/app). When you make a HTTP GET request to that route, the backend server sends all of the JavaScript, HTML, and CSS necessary to bootstrap your React app. Clicking around using React Router simply causes your React code to run on the client.

            When you actually reload the page, your browser, as you know, makes a GET request back to the server for that route, so you just get whatever your server sends. Let's use a few examples where you have a React app that's served from my domain.com.

            Example 1:

            • User makes a browser GET request to mydomain.com. They receive the React app back

            • User navigates to /auth/login - no HTTP requests, React simply running code

            • User navigates to /me to view their account -- again, same

            • User reloads the page using the browser - a HTTP GET request is sent to the backend, and they'll receive whatever the backend sends back -- whether that's JSON or something else

            You really have two options here:

            1. Redirect all HTTP requests to root, meaning /, /something and /anything will serve /. Then host your API on another subdomain, like api.mydomain.com

            2. Choose a route to serve your API from, like mydomain.com/api. Forward all requests from any route EXCEPT /api and it's subroutes to the root.

            What I ended up doing was option 2:

            Renamed my API routes prepending /api to all of them on server.js. Then I renamed all API calls on React accordingly. That code excerpt
