Verdaccio Config

Merge the below options with your existing Verdaccio config:

middlewares:
  openid:
    enabled: true

auth:
  openid:
    provider-host: https://example.com
    # configuration-uri: https://example.com/.well-known/openid-configuration
    # issuer: https://example.com
    # authorization-endpoint: https://example.com/oauth/authorize
    # token-endpoint: https://example.com/oauth/token
    # userinfo-endpoint: https://example.com/oauth/userinfo
    # jwks-uri: https://example.com/oauth/jwks
    # scope: openid email groups
    client-id: CLIENT_ID
    client-secret: CLIENT_SECRET
    username-claim: name
    # groups-claim: groups
    # provider-type: gitlab
    # store-type: file
    # store-config: ./store
    # authorized-groups:
    #  - access
    # group-users:
    #   animal:
    #     - tom
    #     - jack

Now you can use the openid-connect auth in the webUI.

Config Options

openid

store-config

1. in-memory

When using the in-memory store, the store-config is an object with the following properties:

2. redis

When using the redis store, the store-config is a string with the Redis connection string or an object with the following properties:

The username and password can be set with the VERDACCIO_OPENID_STORE_CONFIG_USERNAME and VERDACCIO_OPENID_STORE_CONFIG_PASSWORD environment variables. Or you can use your own environment variable names.

Config example:

auth:
  openid:
    store-type: redis
    store-config: redis://your-username:your-password@localhost:6379

auth:
  openid:
    store-type: redis
    store-config:
      ttl: 60000
      username: your-username
      password: your-password
      host: localhost
      port: 6379

When using Redis Cluster, the nodes config is required.

auth:
  openid:
    store-type: redis
    store-config:
      ttl: 60000
      username: your-username
      password: your-password
      nodes:
        - host: localhost
          port: 6379
        - host: localhost
          port: 6380
      redisOptions:
        # ... other ioredis options

3. file

When using the file store, the store-config is a string with the file path to store the OIDC state or an object with the following properties:

Config example:

auth:
  openid:
    store-type: file
    store-config: ./store

auth:
  openid:
    store-type: file
    store-config:
      ttl: 60000
      dir: ./store

Environment Variables

You can set each config with environment variables to avoid storing sensitive information in the config file. Every config can be set with an environment variable name, matching the regex /^[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*$/.

auth:
  openid:
    client-id: MY_CLIENT_ID
    client-secret: MY_CLIENT_SECRET

If the config value is not set, the plugin will try to read the value from the environment variable. The default environment variable name is VERDACCIO_OPENID_ followed by the config key in uppercase and snake case.

The environment value can be a string or a JSON string. If it is a JSON string, the plugin will parse it to a JSON object.

Note: The environment variable will take precedence over the config value. That means if the config value is like an environment variable name(matching above regex), and the environment variable is set, the plugin will use the environment variable value.

Dotenv files

You can use a .env file to set the environment variables. The plugin will read the .env file in the HOME directory and the directory where the Verdaccio process is started.

The load order is:

1. $HOME/.env
2. $HOME/.env.openid
3. $PWD/.env
4. $PWD/.env.openid

Token Expiration

To set the token expiration time, follow the instructions in the Verdaccio docs.

security:
  api:
    jwt:
      sign:
        expiresIn: 7d # npm token expiration
  web:
    sign:
      expiresIn: 7d # webUI token expiration
