Package Exports

  • @azure/msal-node-extensions

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@azure/msal-node-extensions) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Microsoft Authentication Extensions for Node

The Microsoft Authentication Extensions for Node offers secure mechanisms for client applications to perform cross-platform token cache serialization and persistence. It gives additional support to the Microsoft Authentication Library for Node (MSAL).

MSAL Node supports an in-memory cache by default and provides the ITokenCache interface to perform cache serialization, but does not provide a default way of storing the token cache to disk. Microsoft authentication extensions for node is default implementation for persisting cache to disk across different platforms.

Supported platforms are Windows, Mac and Linux:

  • Windows - DPAPI is used for encryption.
  • MAC - The MAC KeyChain is used.
  • Linux - LibSecret is used for encryption.

Note: It is recommended to use this library for cache persistence support for Public client applications such as Desktop apps only. In web applications, this may lead to scale and performance issues. Web applications are recommended to persist the cache in session.

Building

The extensions contain prebuild binaries. To build from source, you will need Python on you path, as node-gyp is used to build addons for accessing system APIs.

On linux, the library uses libsecret so you may need to install it.Depending on your distribution, you will need to run the following command:

  • Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libsecret-1-dev
  • Red Hat-based: sudo yum install libsecret-devel
  • Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S libsecret

To build msal-node-extensions:

  • Navigate to lib/msal-common and run npm run build then npm link
  • Navigate to extensions and run npm link @azure/msal-common
  • Run npm install
  • Run npm run build
