Passport strategy for authenticating with Outlook accounts (aka Windows Live) using the OAuth 2.0 API.
This module lets you authenticate using Outlook REST API v2 in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Outlook REST API v2 authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
Unlike alternative modules, this package authenticates against the latest Outlook.com (Office 365) v2 endpoints as can be tested in their Outlook Dev Center OAuth Sandbox
$ npm install --save passport-outlookBefore using passport-outlook, you must register an application with Microsoft.
If you have not already done so, a new application can be created at the
Application Registration Portal. Your
application will be issued a client ID and client secret, which need to be
provided to the strategy. You will also need to configure a redirect URL which
matches the route in your application.
The Outlook REST API v2 authentication strategy authenticates users using an
Outlook.com account and OAuth 2.0 tokens. The strategy requires a verify
callback, which accepts these credentials and calls done providing a user,
as well as options specifying a client ID, client secret, and callback URL.
passport.use(new OutlookStrategy({
clientID: OUTLOOK_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: OUTLOOK_CLIENT_SECRET,
callbackURL: 'http://www.example.com/auth/outlook/callback'
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
var user = {
outlookId: profile.id,
name: profile.DisplayName,
email: profile.EmailAddress,
accessToken: accessToken
};
if (refreshToken)
user.refreshToken = refreshToken;
if (profile.MailboxGuid)
user.mailboxGuid = profile.MailboxGuid;
if (profile.Alias)
user.alias = profile.Alias;
User.findOrCreate(user, function (err, user) {
return done(err, user);
});
}
));Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'windowslive' strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.get('/auth/outlook',
passport.authenticate('windowslive', {
scope: [
'openid',
'profile',
'offline_access',
'https://outlook.office.com/Mail.Read'
]
})
);
app.get('/auth/outlook/callback',
passport.authenticate('windowslive', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
function(req, res) {
// Successful authentication, redirect home.
res.redirect('/');
});Note: 'offline_access' is a required scope in order to obtain a
refresh_token. More information is available in the MSDN Dev Center.

Any system can run the test suite in development from the terminal.
$ npm install
$ npm testThe test suite is located in the test/ directory. All new features are
expected to have corresponding test cases. Ensure that the complete test suite
passes by executing:
$ make testAll new feature development is expected to have test coverage. Patches that increse test coverage are happily accepted. Coverage reports can be viewed by executing:
$ make test-cov
