cli

An example OIDC user authentication CLI that supports both the authorization code (with optional PKCE) and implicit OIDC flows.

Running the CLI

go build

Without any flags, the cli will invoke an authorization code authentication.

./cli

With the -pkce flag, the cli will invoke an authorization code with PKCE authentication.

./cli -pkce

With the -implicit flag, the cli will invoke an implicit flow authentication.

./cli -implicit

With the -max-age flag, the cli will require an authentication not older than the max-age specified in seconds.

./cli -max-age <seconds>

Required environment variables

(required if not using the built-in Test Provider. see note below on how-to use this option)

  • OIDC_CLIENT_ID: Your Relying Party client id.
  • OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET: Your Rely Party secret (this is not required for implicit flows or authorization code with PKCE flows)
  • OIDC_ISSUER: The OIDC issuer identifier (aka the discover URL)
  • OIDC_PORT: The port you'd like to use for your callback HTTP listener.

OIDC Provider

You must configure your provider's allowed callbacks to include: http://localhost:{OIDC_PORT}/callback (where OIDC_PORT equals whatever you've set the OIDC_PORT environment variable equal to).

For example, if you set OIDC_PORT equal to 3000 the you must configure your provider to allow callbacks to: http://localhost:3000/callback

OIDC Provider PKCE support.

Many providers require you to explicitly enable the authorization code with PKCE. Auth0 for example requires you to set your application type as: Native or Single Page Application if you wish to use PKCE.

Built-in Test Provider

We've add support to use a built in Test OIDC Provider into the CLI example. You simply pass the -use-test-provider option on the CLI and the Test Provider will be configured and started on an available localhost port. The Test Provider only allows you to login with one user which is alice with a password of fido. This very simple Test Provider option removes the dependency of creating a test account with a "real" provider, if you just want to run the CLI and see it work.
