Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

@ciscode/authentication-kit

v1.1.0

Published

A login library with local login, Microsoft Entra ID authentication, password reset, and roles/permissions for multi-tenant applications.

Readme

Auth Service (Express · JWT · Multi‑Tenant · RBAC) Internal package — private to the company. This package is not published on npmjs. Install it only from the company’s Azure Artifacts feed using a project or user-level .npmrc.

Authentication & authorization service for Node/Express apps. Provides local email/password auth with lockout, JWT access tokens + refresh, tenant scoping, RBAC, and optional Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) OAuth.

Features Local auth (email/password) with account lockout policy. JWT access tokens (Bearer) and refresh endpoint (cookie or body). Multi-tenant scope on requests. RBAC (roles → permission strings). Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) OAuth (optional). MongoDB/Mongoose models. Routes are mounted under:

/api/auth (auth, password reset) /api/users (user admin) /api/auth/roles and /api/auth/permissions (RBAC) Installation (Azure Artifacts only)

  1. Configure .npmrc Do not commit real tokens. Prefer ~/.npmrc or generate .npmrc in CI using secrets.

For developers (user-level ~/.npmrc):

registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/

Route @ciscodeapps scope to the private feed

@ciscodeapps:registry=https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/CISCODEAPPS/Templates/_packaging/testfeed/npm/registry/

//pkgs.dev.azure.com/CISCODEAPPS/Templates/_packaging/testfeed/npm/registry/:_authToken=${AZURE_ARTIFACTS_PAT} always-auth=true Set the token as an environment variable before installing:

export AZURE_ARTIFACTS_PAT="" You can also use the username/_password form:

//pkgs.dev.azure.com/...:username=AzureDevOps //pkgs.dev.azure.com/...:_password=${BASE64_PAT} //pkgs.dev.azure.com/...:email=not-used@localhost where BASE64_PAT=$(printf %s "$AZURE_ARTIFACTS_PAT" | base64).

  1. Install the package npm i @ciscodeapps/auth-service
  2. Required environment variables (host app) Create a .env in the host project:

Server

PORT=3000 NODE_ENV=development BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000

Database (the service connects to this on startup)

MONGO_URI_T=mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/auth_service

JWT

JWT_SECRET=change_me JWT_ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRES_IN=15m JWT_REFRESH_SECRET=change_me_too JWT_REFRESH_TOKEN_EXPIRES_IN=7d

Lockout policy

MAX_FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS=5 ACCOUNT_LOCK_TIME_MINUTES=15

(Optional) Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)

MICROSOFT_TENANT=organizations MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx MICROSOFT_CLIENT_SECRET=your-secret MICROSOFT_CALLBACK_URL=${BASE_URL}/api/auth/microsoft/callback Use inside an existing Express app Your package exports an Express app that already parses JSON, connects to Mongo, and mounts its routes. Just mount it:

// server.js (host app) require('dotenv').config(); const express = require('express'); const authApp = require('@ciscodeapps/auth-service');

const app = express(); app.use(authApp); // exposes /api/auth, /api/users, /api/auth/roles, /api/auth/permissions

app.get('/health', (_, res) => res.json({ ok: true })); app.listen(process.env.PORT || 3000, () => console.log('Host app on', process.env.PORT || 3000) ); Prefer mounting the service. If you need to run it standalone, you can also start this package directly (it calls connectDB() on import).

What’s included (routes & behavior) Auth POST /api/auth/register – Create a user (email/password). POST /api/auth/login – Local login. On success, returns accessToken and may set a refreshToken httpOnly cookie. POST /api/auth/verify-otp – If OTP/step-up is enabled, verifies the code and completes login. POST /api/auth/refresh-token – New access token from a valid refresh token (cookie or body). POST /api/auth/request-password-reset – Sends a reset token (e.g., by email). PATCH /api/auth/reset-password – Consumes the reset token and sets a new password. GET /api/auth/microsoft → GET /api/auth/microsoft/callback – Optional Microsoft Entra OAuth; issues first-party tokens. Users GET /api/users – List users (tenant-scoped, paginated). POST /api/users – Create a user (requires permission). Additional CRUD endpoints as exposed by controllers. Roles & Permissions GET/POST /api/auth/roles – Manage roles (name, tenantId, permissions: string[]). GET /api/auth/permissions – List permission strings and metadata. Protecting your own routes (host app) const authenticate = require('@ciscodeapps/auth-service/src/middleware/authenticate'); // JWT const { hasPermission } = require('@ciscodeapps/auth-service/src/middleware/rbac.middleware'); // RBAC

app.get('/reports', authenticate, hasPermission('reports:read'), (req, res) => res.json({ ok: true }) ); Tenant scope comes from the JWT payload (e.g., tenantId) and is used inside controllers/guards to filter queries.

Quick start (smoke tests) Start your host app:

node server.js Register & Login

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/auth/register
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
-d '{"email":"[email protected]","password":"Secret123!","tenantId":"t-001","name":"Alice"}'

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/auth/login
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
-d '{"email":"[email protected]","password":"Secret123!","tenantId":"t-001"}'

=> { "accessToken": "...", "refreshToken": "..." }

Call a protected route

ACCESS=<paste_access_token_here> curl http://localhost:3000/api/users -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS" Refresh token

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/auth/refresh-token
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
-d '{"refreshToken":"<paste_refresh_token_here>"}'

=> { "accessToken": "..." }

Microsoft OAuth (optional) - Visit: http://localhost:3000/api/auth/microsoft → complete sign-in.

  • Callback: ${BASE_URL}/api/auth/microsoft/callback returns tokens (and may set the refresh cookie).

CI/CD (Azure Pipelines)

azure-pipelines.yml (snippet)

  • task: npmAuthenticate@0 inputs: workingFile: .npmrc # optional; the task wires npm auth for subsequent steps

  • script: npm ci displayName: Install deps (For GitHub Actions, write a ~/.npmrc with the token from secrets.AZURE_ARTIFACTS_PAT before npm ci.)

Security notes Never commit real PATs. Use env vars or CI secrets. Run behind HTTPS. Rotate JWT & refresh secrets periodically. Limit login attempts; log auth events for auditing. License Internal — Company proprietary.
