undici-oidc-interceptor

undici-oidc-interceptor manages an OIDC access token and transparently sets the Authorization header on any request that is going to a limited set of domains.

The token is automatically renewed after it expires. It supports both a refresh_token and client_credentials grants.

Install

npm i undici undici-oidc-interceptor

Usage with client credentials

const { Agent } = require('undici')
const { createOidcInterceptor } = require('undici-oidc-interceptor')
const dispatcher = new Agent().compose(createOidcInterceptor({
      // The paramerts for the cliend_credentials grant of OIDC
      clientId: 'FILLME',
      clientSecret: 'FILLME',
      idpTokenUrl: 'https://your-idp.com/token',

      // Set an array of status codes that the interceptor should refresh and
      // retry the request on
      retryOnStatusCodes: [401],

      // The array of urls that this interceptor will be appending `Authorization` header
      // for automatically
      urls: ['FILLME'],

      // OPTIONAL: an initial access token
      accessToken: ''
    }))

Usage with refresh token

const { Agent } = require('undici')
const { createOidcInterceptor } = require('undici-oidc-interceptor')
const dispatcher = new Agent().compose(createOidcInterceptor({
      // Provide a refresh token so the interceptor can manage the access token
      // The refresh token must include an issuer (`iss`)
      refreshToken: '',
      idpTokenUrl: 'https://your-idp.com/token',
      clientId: 'FILLME',

      // Set an array of status codes that the interceptor should refresh and
      // retry the request on
      retryOnStatusCodes: [401],

      // The array of urls that this interceptor will be appending `Authorization` header
      // for automatically
      urls: [],

      // OPTIONAL: an initial access token
      accessToken: ''
    }))

Custom authentication decision

const { Agent } = require('undici')
const { createOidcInterceptor } = require('undici-oidc-interceptor')
const dispatcher = new Agent().compose(createOidcInterceptor({
      // Provide a refresh token so the interceptor can manage the access token
      // The refresh token must include an issuer (`iss`)
      refreshToken: '',
      idpTokenUrl: 'https://your-idp.com/token',
      clientId: 'FILLME',

      // Set an array of status codes that the interceptor should refresh and
      // retry the request on
      retryOnStatusCodes: [401],

      // OPTIONAL: a callback function, if return 'true' then this interceptor will include `Authorization` header
      shouldAuthenticate: (opts) => opts.header['something'] === 'test',

      // OPTIONAL: an initial access token
      accessToken: ''
    }))

Note: shouldAuthenticate has higher priority than urls. Fallback to urls behavior when shouldAuthenticate is not provided

Token store

This interceptor uses the async-cache-dedupe package to cache access tokens. This improves efficiency by enabling token reuse across processes or instances and avoids unnecessary token refresh requests.

• Default: In-memory storage.
• Custom storage: You can provide your own backend (e.g., Redis) by supplying a compatible async-cache-dedupe configuration.

Example: Using Redis as the token store

const Redis = require('ioredis')
const { Agent } = require('undici')
const { createOidcInterceptor } = require('undici-oidc-interceptor')

const redisClient = new Redis()

const dispatcher = new Agent().compose(createOidcInterceptor({
  ...options,
  tokenStore: {
    name: 'test-cache',
    ttl: 100,
    storage: { 
      type: 'redis', 
      options: { 
        client: redisClient 
      } 
    }
  }
}))

Custom TTL

If you want to customize the TTL for tokens based on the expiresIn value from the OIDC response, you can provide a custom function.

Example:

const Redis = require('ioredis')
const { Agent } = require('undici')
const { createOidcInterceptor } = require('undici-oidc-interceptor')

const redisClient = new Redis()

const dispatcher = new Agent().compose(createOidcInterceptor({
  ...options,
  tokenStore: {
    name: 'test-cache',
    ttl: (tokenPayload) => tokenPayload.expiresIn * 80 / 100, // Sets token TTL to 80% of the OIDC expiry time
    storage: { 
      type: 'redis', 
      options: { 
        client: redisClient 
      } 
    }
  }
}))
