\n

Today, I've released a new version of the angular library angular-oauth2-oidc<\/a>, which allows for implementing token-based Security using OAuth2\/ OpenId Connect and JWTs with Angular.<\/p>\n

This new major version comes with some breaking changes. You find a list at the beginning of the updated readme<\/a>. I think they won't affect everyone and even when you are affected you should be able to deal with them quite quickly.<\/p>\n

Silent Token Refresh<\/h2>\n

Silent Refresh<\/a> was the most requested feature for this library. It is a standard compliant way to refresh your tokens when\/ before they expire using implicit flow.<\/p>\n

If the application is prepared for it, performing a silent refresh is as easy as this:<\/p>\n

this\n    .oauthService\n    .silentRefresh()\n    .then(info => console.debug('refresh ok', info))\n    .catch(err => console.error('refresh error', err));\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
By leveraging the new events observable, an application can automatically perform such a refresh when\/ sometime before the current tokens expire:<\/p>\n
this\n    .oauthService\n    .events\n    .filter(e => e.type == 'token_expires')\n    .subscribe(e => {\n        this.oauthService.silentRefresh();\n    });\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
More information about this can be found within the updated readme<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Validating the signature of id_tokens<\/h2>\n
The library can now directly validate the signature of received id_tokens. For this, just assign a ValidationHandler<\/code>:<\/p>\n
import { JwksValidationHandler } from 'angular-oauth2-oidc';\n\n[...]\n\nthis.oauthService.tokenValidationHandler = new JwksValidationHandler();\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
The JwksValidationHandler<\/code> shown here uses the JavaScript library jsrasign<\/a> to validate the signature directly in the browser without the need to call the server.<\/p>\n
You can also hook in an own ValidationHandler<\/code> by implementing an interface.<\/p>\n
More Security Checks<\/h2>\n
Some additional security checks have been added. The library insists on using https now and only makes an exception for localhost. It also validates the received discovery document.<\/p>\n
Feedback<\/h2>\n
If you are using it or if you are trying it out, don't hesitate to send me some feedback -- either directly via my blog or via GitHub.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
