---
**Satellizer** is a simple to use, end-to-end, token-based authentication module
for [AngularJS](http://angularjs.org) with built-in support for Google, Facebook,
LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, GitHub, Bitbucket, Yahoo, Twitch, Microsoft (Windows Live) OAuth providers, as well as Email
and Password sign-in. However, you are not limited to the sign-in options above, in fact
you can add any *OAuth 1.0* or *OAuth 2.0* provider by passing provider-specific information
in the app *config* block.

## Authentication Flow
Satellizer relies on *token-based authentication* using
[JSON Web Tokens](https://auth0.com/blog/2014/01/07/angularjs-authentication-with-cookies-vs-token/)
instead of cookies.
Additionally, **authorization** (obtaining user's information with their permission) and **authentication** (application sign-in) requires sever-side implementation. See provided [examples](https://github.com/sahat/satellizer/tree/master/examples/server) implemented in multiple languages for your convenience. In other words, you cannot just launch your AngularJS application and expect everything to work. The only exception is when you use *OAuth 2.0 Implicit Grant* (client-side) authorization by setting `responseType: 'token'` in provider's [configuration](https://github.com/sahat/satellizer#configuration).
### 
Login with Email and Password
1. 
**Client:** Enter your email and password into the login form.
2. **Client:** On form submit call `$auth.login()` with email and password.
3. **Client:** Send a `POST` request to `/auth/login`.
4. 
**Server:** Check if email exists, if not - return `401`.
5. **Server:** Check if password is correct, if not - return `401`.
6. **Server:** Create a JSON Web Token and send it back to the client.
7. **Client:** Parse the token and save it to *Local Storage* for subsequent
use after page reload.
### 
Login with OAuth 1.0
1. **Client:** Open an **empty** popup window via `$auth.authenticate('provider name')`.
2. **Client:** Unlike OAuth 2.0, with OAuth 1.0 you cannot go directly to the authorization
screen without a valid `request_token`.
3. **Client:** The OAuth 1.0 flow starts with an empty **POST** request to */auth/provider*.
4. **Server:** Obtain and return `request_token`for the authorization popup.
5. **Client:** Set the URL location of a popup to the `authorizationEndpoint` with a valid `request_token` query parameter, as well as popup options for height and width. This will redirect a user to the authorization screen. After this point, the flow is very similar to OAuth 2.0.
6. **Client:** Sign in with your username and password if necessary, then authorize
the application.
7. **Client:** Send a *POST* request back to the */auth/provider* with
`oauth_token` and `oauth_verifier` query parameters.
8. **Server:** Do an OAuth-signed `POST` request to the */access_token* URL since we now have `oauth_token` and
`oauth_verifier` parameters.
10. **Server:** Look up the user by their unique *Provider ID*. If user already
exists, grab the existing user, otherwise create a new user account.
11. **Server:** Create a JSON Web Token and send it back to the client.
12. **Client:** Parse the token and save it to *Local Storage* for subsequent
use after page reload.
### 
Login with OAuth 2.0
1. **Client:** Open a popup window via `$auth.authenticate('provider name')`.
2. **Client:** Sign in with that provider, if necessary, then authorize the application.
3. **Client:** After successful authorization, the popup is redirected back to
your app, e.g. *http://localhost:3000*, with the `code` (authorization code)
query string parameter.
4. **Client:** The `code` parameter is sent back to the parent window that opened the popup.
5. **Client:** Parent window closes the popup and sends a **POST**
request to */auth/provider* with`code` parameter.
6. **Server:** *Authorization code* is exchanged for *access token*.
7. **Server:** User information is retrived using the *access token* from **Step 6**.
8. **Server:** Look up the user by their unique *Provider ID*. If user already
exists, grab the existing user, otherwise create a new user account.
9. **Server:** In both cases of Step 8, create a JSON Web Token and send it back to the client.
10. **Client:** Parse the token and save it to *Local Storage* for subsequent
use after page reload.
### 
Log out
1. **Client:** Remove token from Local Storage.

## FAQ
#### :question: How do I set `offline_access`?
```js
$authProvider.google({
optionalUrlParams: ['access_type'],
accessType: 'offline'
});
```
#### :question: Can I change `redirectUri` to something other than base URL?
By default, `redirectUri` is set to `window.location.origin` (protocol, hostname, port number of a URL) for all OAuth providers. This `redirectUri` must match *exactly* the URL¹ specified in your OAuth app settings.
**Facebook (example)**
However, you can set `redirectUri` to any URL *path* you desire. For instance, you may follow the naming convention of [Passport.js](http://passportjs.org/):
```js
// Note: Must be absolute path.
window.location.origin + '/auth/facebook/facebook/callback'
window.location.origin + '/auth/facebook/google/callback'
...
```
Using the example above, a popup window will be redirected to `http://localhost:3000/auth/facebook/callback?code=YOUR_AUTHORIZATION_CODE` after a successful Facebook authorization. To avoid potential 404 errors, create server routes for each `redirectUri` URL that return **200 OK**. Or alternatively, you may render a custom template with a loading spinner. For the moment, a popup will not stay long enough to see that custom template, due to 20ms interval polling, but in the future I may add support for overriding this polling interval value.
As far as Satellizer is concerned, it does not matter what is the value of `redirectUri` as long as it matches URL in your OAuth app settings. Satellizer's primary concern is to read URL query/hash parameters, then close a popup.
¹ **Note:** Depending on the OAuth provider, it may be called *Site URL*, *Callback URL*, *Redirect URL*, and so on.
#### :question: How can I send a token in a format other than `Authorization: Bearer `?
If you are unable to send a token to your server in the following format - `Authorization: Bearer `, then use
**`$authProvider.tokenHeader`** and **`$authProvider.tokenType`** config options to change the header format. The default values are `Authorization` and `Bearer`, respectively.
For example, if you need to use `Authorization: Basic` header, this is where you change it.
#### :question: How can I avoid sending Authorization header on all HTTP requests?
By default, once user is authenticated, JWT will be sent on every request. If you would like to prevent that, you could use `skipAuthorization` option in your `$http` request. For example:
```js
$http({
method: 'GET',
url: '/api/endpoint',
skipAuthorization: true // `Authorization: Bearer ` will not be sent on this request.
});
```
#### :question: Is there a way to dynamically change `localStorage` to `sessionStorage`?
Yes, you can toggle between [`localStorage`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/localStorage) and [`sessionStorage`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/sessionstorage) via the following Satellizer methods:
- `$auth.setStorageType('sessionStorage');`
- `$auth.setStorageType('localStorage');`
#### :question: I am having a problem with Ionic authentication on iOS 9.
First, check what kind of error you are getting by opening the Web Inspector from **Develop > Simulator > index.html** menu.
If you have configured everything correctly, chances are you running into the following error:
> Failed to load resource: The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection.
Follow instructions on this [StackOverflow post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32631184/the-resource-could-not-be-loaded-because-the-app-transport-security-policy-requi) by adding `NSAppTransportSecurity` to *info.plist*. That should fix the problem.
