Itsme® client

This library's purpose it to make your server's communication with itsme® more pleasant.

itsme-client discovers the OpenID configuration of itsme and allows you to easily exchange tokens without worrying about fetching, caching, signing and encrypting.

Features

  • Endpoint discovery
  • Exchanging an Authorization Token
  • Extracting claims from an ID Token
  • Getting claims from the User Info endpoint
  • Extracting your public keys as a JWK Set
  • Decrypting and verifying JWTs
  • Encrypting and signing JWTs
  • Key rollover
  • Normalizing returned values

The library is written in TypeScript, so typings are available. Plain Node.js will also work. When using TypeScript, add @node_modules/itsme-client/@types to your typeRoots.

Usage

Initialize ItsmeClient

This is the basic usage, more options and methods are available. Intellisense and jsdoc should help you find and understand them.

import { createKeyStore, IdentityProvider, ItsmeClient } from 'itsme-client';

async function initItsmeClient() {
    const itsmeDiscoveryUrl = 'https://e2emerchant.itsme.be/oidc/.well-known/openid-configuration';
    const itsmeProvider = await IdentityProvider.discover(itsmeDiscoveryUrl);
    return new ItsmeClient(itsmeProvider, {
        clientId: 'your client id here',
        keyStore: await createKeyStore(yourJwkSet),
        serviceCodes: {
            YOUR_SERVICE_CODE: 'https://the-redirect-url-matching-this-service-code',
        },
    });
}

Obtaining user info with an Authorization token

import { ItsmeClient } from 'itsme-client';

async function wrapper(itsmeClient: ItsmeClient) {
    const token = await itsmeClient.exchangeAuthorizationCode(
        'Authorization code here',
        itsmeClient.generateAuthUrl({
            service: 'YOUR_SERVICE_CODE',
            state: 'optional state',
        }),
    );

    // Get the user info via the userInfo endpoint
    const userInfo = await itsmeClient.userInfoComplete(token.access_token);

    // Same thing with intermediary steps
    const userInfoJwt = await itsmeClient.userInfo(accessToken);
    const decryptedUserInfo = await itsmeClient.decryptUserInfo(userInfoJwt);
    const userInfoStepByStep = await itsmeClient.verifyUserInfo(decryptedUserInfo);


    // Or get the claims via the ID Token
    const idTokenPayload = await itsmeClient.decryptAndVerifyIdToken(token.id_token);
}

Extracting your public keys as a JWK Set

This library supports extracting your public keys as a JWK Set for easy exposure via URL or other means.

itsmeClient.getPublicJwkSet();
