GraphQL 服务器上下文中的 Passport Azure AD 身份验证

Question

hoping someone can help a noob with some async javascript issues.

I am attempting to secure a GraphQL server instance using Passport and the passport-azure-ad strategy. I can see from logs that the incoming Access Token is validated correctly and all of the passport code is working as expected.

const passport = require('passport');
const OIDCBearerStrategy = require('passport-azure-ad').BearerStrategy;

...

// Setting up the Strategy and verify function
const bearerStrategy = new OIDCBearerStrategy(options, (token, done) => {
  if (!token.scp.includes('check-this-scope')) {
    return done(null, false, { message: 'User not authorized to access resource' });
  }
  return done(null, token);
});

passport.use('oauth-bearer', bearerStrategy);

...

const server = new ApolloServer({
  typeDefs,
  resolvers,
  context: async (context) => {
    passport.authenticate('oauth-bearer', (authErr, authUser, authInfo) => {
      if (!authUser) context.authErr = authErr || authInfo;
      else context.user = authUser;
    })(context.req, context.res);
    return context;
  },
});

The authErr and authUser params are correctly being passed to the custom callback, however the context is returned before the callback is executed.

Ideally I would like to if (!user) throw new AuthenticationError('you must be logged in'); in the context block if the user is not available, however due to the asynchronous nature of the code I don't have access to it.

How can I make the code in the context wait until the custom passport.authenticate callback has executed? Or alternatively is there a better way for me to do this? I am new to apollo server, passport and even working with node, so I wouldn't be surprised if I was doing something wrong.

Right now it seems that my setting of context.user isn't even available in the context delivered to the resolvers.

Thanks in advance.

Basically, you need to "promisify" you authenticate request:

const authOauthBearer = ({ req, res }) => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  passport.authenticate('oauth-bearer', (authErr, authUser, authInfo) => {
    if (!authUser) reject(authErr || authInfo);
    else resolve(authUser);
  })(req, res);
});

and then use it in the context like this:

context: async (context) => {
  try {
    const { user } = authOauthBearer(context);
    context.user = user;
  } catch(error) {
    // you may want to escalate the auth issue to the client so you can just throw:
    // throw error;

    // or you can store the auth error in the context
    context.authError = error;
  }
  return context;
}
