Oauth2 Oidc Implementer

OAuth 2.0 & OIDC Implementer

Implement secure authentication with OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect.

Core Workflow

1. Choose flow: Authorization Code, PKCE, Client Credentials
2. Configure provider: Set up OAuth/OIDC provider
3. Implement flow: Handle redirects and tokens
4. Secure tokens: Storage and refresh
5. Add providers: Multiple identity providers
6. Handle sessions: Manage authenticated state

Authorization Code Flow with PKCE

Server Implementation (Next.js)

  if (cachedConfig) return cachedConfig;

  const response = await fetch(`${issuer}/.well-known/openid-configuration`);

  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error('Failed to fetch OIDC configuration');
  }

  cachedConfig = await response.json();
  return cachedConfig;
}

ID Token Validation

// lib/auth/jwt.ts
import { createRemoteJWKSet, jwtVerify } from 'jose';
import { discoverOIDCConfig } from './oidc';

interface IDTokenClaims {
  iss: string;
  sub: string;
  aud: string | string[];

let jwks: ReturnType<typeof createRemoteJWKSet> | null = null;

export async function verifyIdToken(
  idToken: string,
  expectedNonce?: string
): Promise<IDTokenClaims> {
  const config = await discoverOIDCConfig(process.env.OIDC_ISSUER!);

  if (!jwks) {
    jwks = createRemoteJWKSet(new URL(config.jwks_uri));
  }

  const { payload } = await jwtVerify(idToken, jwks, {
    issuer: config.issuer,
    audience: process.env.OAUTH_CLIENT_ID!,
  });

  // Verify nonce if provided (for implicit/hybrid flows)
  if (expectedNonce && payload.nonce !== expectedNonce) {
    throw new Error('Invalid nonce');
  }

  return payload as IDTokenClaims;
}

User Info Endpoint

// lib/auth/userinfo.ts
interface UserInfo {
  sub: string;
  email?: string;
  email_verified?: boolean;
  name?: string;
  given_name?: string;
  family_name?: string;
  picture?: string;
  locale?: string;
}

export async function fetchUserInfo(accessToken: string): Promise<UserInfo> {
  const config = await discoverOIDCConfig(process.env.OIDC_ISSUER!);

  const response = await fetch(config.userinfo_endpoint, {
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
    },
  });

  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error('Failed to fetch user info');
  }

  return response.json();
}

Session Management

// lib/auth/session.ts
import { SignJWT, jwtVerify } from 'jose';
import { cookies } from 'next/headers';

const SESSION_SECRET = new TextEncoder().encode(process.env.SESSION_SECRET!);

interface Session {
  userId: string;
  email: string;
  accessToken: string;
  refreshToken?: string;
  expiresAt: number;
}

export async function createSession(tokens: TokenResponse): Promise<void> {
  const claims = await verifyIdToken(tokens.id_token!);

  const session: Session = {
    userId: claims.sub,
    email: claims.email!,
    accessToken: tokens.access_token,
    refreshToken: tokens.refresh_token,
    expiresAt: Date.now() + tokens.expires_in * 1000,
  };

  const jwt = await new SignJWT(session)
    .setProtectedHeader({ alg: 'HS256' })
    .setExpirationTime('7d')
    .sign(SESSION_SECRET);

  cookies().set('session', jwt, {
    httpOnly: true,
    secure: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production',
    sameSite: 'lax',
    maxAge: 60 * 60 * 24 * 7, // 7 days
    path: '/',
  });
}

export async function getSession(): Promise<Session | null> {
  const sessionCookie = cookies().get('session')?.value;
  if (!sessionCookie) return null;

  try {
    const { payload } = await jwtVerify(sessionCookie, SESSION_SECRET);
    return payload as Session;
  } catch {
    return null;
  }
}

export async function refreshSession(): Promise<Session | null> {
  const session = await getSession();
  if (!session?.refreshToken) return null;

  // Check if access token is expired
  if (session.expiresAt > Date.now() + 60000) {
    return session; // Still valid
  }

  // Refresh tokens
  const tokens = await refreshAccessToken(session.refreshToken);
  await createSession(tokens);

  return getSession();
}

async function refreshAccessToken(refreshToken: string): Promise<TokenResponse> {
  const response = await fetch(config.tokenUrl, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
    body: new URLSearchParams({
      grant_type: 'refresh_token',
      client_id: config.clientId,
      client_secret: config.clientSecret,
      refresh_token: refreshToken,
    }),
  });

  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error('Token refresh failed');
  }

  return response.json();
}

Multiple Providers

// lib/auth/providers.ts
interface OAuthProvider {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  authorizationUrl: string;
  tokenUrl: string;
  userInfoUrl: string;
  clientId: string;
  clientSecret: string;
  scopes: string[];
  mapUserInfo: (data: any) => UserProfile;
}

export const providers: Record<string, OAuthProvider> = {
  google: {
    id: 'google',
    name: 'Google',
    authorizationUrl: 'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth',
    tokenUrl: 'https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token',
    userInfoUrl: 'https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/userinfo',
    clientId: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID!,
    clientSecret: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET!,
    scopes: ['openid', 'email', 'profile'],
    mapUserInfo: (data) => ({
      id: data.sub,
      email: data.email,
      name: data.name,
      image: data.picture,
    }),
  },
  github: {
    id: 'github',
    name: 'GitHub',
    authorizationUrl: 'https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize',
    tokenUrl: 'https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token',
    userInfoUrl: 'https://api.github.com/user',
    clientId: process.env.GITHUB_CLIENT_ID!,
    clientSecret: process.env.GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET!,
    scopes: ['read:user', 'user:email'],
    mapUserInfo: (data) => ({
      id: String(data.id),
      email: data.email,
      name: data.name || data.login,
      image: data.avatar_url,
    }),
  },
  microsoft: {
    id: 'microsoft',
    name: 'Microsoft',
    authorizationUrl: 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize',
    tokenUrl: 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/token',
    userInfoUrl: 'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me',
    clientId: process.env.MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID!,
    clientSecret: process.env.MICROSOFT_CLIENT_SECRET!,
    scopes: ['openid', 'email', 'profile', 'User.Read'],
    mapUserInfo: (data) => ({
      id: data.id,
      email: data.mail || data.userPrincipalName,
      name: data.displayName,
      image: null,
    }),
  },
};

Client Credentials Flow

// lib/auth/machine.ts
interface ClientCredentialsConfig {
  tokenUrl: string;
  clientId: string;
  clientSecret: string;
  scopes: string[];
}

let cachedToken: { token: string; expiresAt: number } | null = null;

export async function getMachineToken(config: ClientCredentialsConfig): Promise<string> {
  // Check cache
  if (cachedToken && cachedToken.expiresAt > Date.now() + 60000) {
    return cachedToken.token;
  }

  const response = await fetch(config.tokenUrl, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
      Authorization: `Basic ${Buffer.from(
        `${config.clientId}:${config.clientSecret}`
      ).toString('base64')}`,
    },
    body: new URLSearchParams({
      grant_type: 'client_credentials',
      scope: config.scopes.join(' '),
    }),
  });

  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error('Failed to get machine token');
  }

  const data = await response.json();

  cachedToken = {
    token: data.access_token,
    expiresAt: Date.now() + data.expires_in * 1000,
  };

  return cachedToken.token;
}

Best Practices

1. Always use PKCE: Even for confidential clients
2. Validate state: Prevent CSRF attacks
3. Verify tokens: Check signature and claims
4. Secure storage: HttpOnly cookies for tokens
5. Refresh proactively: Before expiration
6. Handle errors gracefully: Clear messaging
7. Use HTTPS: Always in production
8. Limit scopes: Request minimum needed

Output Checklist

Every OAuth/OIDC implementation should include:

• PKCE code verifier/challenge
• State parameter for CSRF
• Secure token storage
• Token refresh mechanism
• ID token validation
• Session management
• Logout handling
• Error handling
• Multiple provider support
• HTTPS enforcement
