oidc-provider is an OpenID Provider implementation of OpenID Connect. It allows to export a complete mountable or standalone OpenID Provider implementation. This implementation does not dictate a fixed data model or persistence store, instead, you must provide adapters for these. A generic in-memory adapter is available to get you started as well as feature-less dev-only views to be able to get off the ground.
v6.0.0-alpha.x is now available on npm and master branch, please head over to #419 to provide feedback.
I'm looking for early adopter feedback and pointers to missing changelog entries as well as misunderstood changes. Throughout the v6.0.0 prerelease line the changelog will be extended and especially interaction documentation will be provided.
The minimal node version for this alpha is v12.0.0 and v6.0.0 will release as stable sometime after v12.0.0 lands in April 2019. WARNING: Node.js 12 or higher is required for oidc-provider@6 and above. For older Node.js versions use oidc-provider@5.
npm i oidc-provider@alphaSee v5.x for the last v5.x release and docs.

Filip Skokan has certified that oidc-provider
conforms to the OP Basic, OP Implicit, OP Hybrid, OP Config, OP Dynamic and OP Form Post profiles
of the OpenID Connect™ protocol.
You may check the example folder or follow a step by step example to see which of those fits your desired application setup.
The examples bundled in this repo's codebase are available for you to experiment with here. Dynamic Registration is open, you can literally register any client you want there. An example client using this provider is available here (uses openid-client).
Also be sure to check the available configuration docs section.
oidc-provider allows to be extended and configured in various ways to fit a variety of uses. See the available configuration.
const Provider = require('oidc-provider');
const configuration = {
// ... see available options /docs
clients: [{
client_id: 'foo',
client_secret: 'bar',
redirect_uris: ['http://lvh.me:8080/cb'],
// + other client properties
}],
};
const oidc = new Provider('http://localhost:3000', configuration);
// express/nodejs style application callback (req, res, next) for use with express apps, see /examples/express.js
oidc.callback
// koa application for use with koa apps, see /examples/koa.js
oidc.app
// or just expose a server standalone, see /examples/standalone.js
const server = oidc.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('oidc-provider listening on port 3000, check http://localhost:3000/.well-known/openid-configuration');
});Collection of useful configurations use cases are available over at recipes.
oidc-provider uses the debug module internally to log information about various states
of authentication requests, errors and grants. To see all these set the DEBUG environment variable
to oidc-provider:* when launching your app.
There is no filter on what is included in the debug output, since it may end-user Personally identifiable information or client credentials its use is only advised for debugging, not regular logging. Use emitted events to cherry pick the one's of interest to your flows and form your own logs aware of what should and should not be a part of a logged message.
Your oidc-provider instance is an event emitter, using event handlers you can hook into the various
actions and i.e. emit metrics or that react to specific triggers. In some scenarios you can even
change the defined behavior.
See the list of available emitted event names and their description.
