#### Adding an OAuth based provider
If we're adding an `OAuth` based provider we would implement the
[OAuthProviderHandlers](#OAuthProviderHandlers) interface.

interface we can use the `OAuthProvider` class provided by `lib/oauth`, meaning
we don't need to implement the full
[AuthProviderRouteHandlers](#AuthProviderRouteHandlers) interface that providers
otherwise need to implement.
The provider class takes the provider's configuration as a class parameter. It
also imports the `Strategy` from the passport package.

#### Create method
#### Factory function
Each provider exports a create method that creates the provider instance,
optionally extending a supported authorization framework. This method exists to
allow for flexibility if additional frameworks are supported in the future.
Each provider exports a factory function that instantiates the provider. The
factory should implement [AuthProviderFactory](#AuthProviderFactory), which
passes in a object with utilities for configuration, logging, token issuing,
etc. The factory should return an implementation of
[AuthProviderRouteHandlers](#AuthProviderRouteHandlers).
Implementing OAuth by returning an instance of `OAuthProvider` based of the
provider's class:
The factory is what decides the mapping from
[static configuration](../conf/index.md) to the creation of auth providers. For
example, OAuth providers use `OAuthEnvironmentHandler` to allow for multiple
different configurations, one for each environment, which looks like this;
```ts
export function createProviderAProvider(config: AuthProviderConfig) {
const provider = new ProviderAAuthProvider(config);
const oauthProvider = new OAuthProvider(provider, config.provider, true);
return oauthProvider;
}
export const createOktaProvider: AuthProviderFactory = ({
globalConfig,
config,
tokenIssuer,
}) =>
OAuthEnvironmentHandler.mapConfig(config, envConfig => {
// read options from config
const clientId = envConfig.getString('clientId');
const clientSecret = envConfig.getString('clientSecret');
// instantiate our OAuthProviderHandlers implementation
const provider = new OktaAuthProvider({
audience,
clientId,
clientSecret,
callbackUrl,
});
// Wrap the OAuthProviderHandlers with OAuthProvider, which implements AuthProviderRouteHandlers
return OAuthProvider.fromConfig(globalConfig, provider, {
disableRefresh: false,
providerId,
tokenIssuer,
});
});
```
Not extending with OAuth, the main difference here is that the create method is
returning a instance of the class without adding the OAuth authorization
framework to it.
The purpose of the different environments is to allow for a single auth-backend
to serve as the authentication service for multiple different frontend
environments, such as local development, staging, and production.
The factory function for other providers can be a lot simpler, as they might not
have configuration for each environment. Looking something like this:
```ts
export function createProviderAProvider(config: AuthProviderConfig) {
return new ProviderAAuthProvider(config);
}
export const createProviderAProvider: AuthProviderFactory = ({ config }) => {
const a = config.getString('a');
const b = config.getString('b');
return new ProviderAAuthProvider({ a, b });
};
```

## Technical Notes
### EnvironmentHandler
### OAuthEnvironmentHandler
The concept of an "env" is core to the way the auth backend works. It uses an
`env` query parameter to identify the environment in which the application is
running (`development`, `staging`, `production`, etc). Each runtime can support
multiple environments at the same time and the right handler for each request is
identified and dispatched to based on the `env` parameter. All
`AuthProviderRouteHandlers` are wrapped within an `EnvironmentHandler`.
`AuthProviderRouteHandlers` are wrapped within an `OAuthEnvironmentHandler`.
An `EnvironmentHandler` takes an ID for each provider that it wraps, the
handlers for each env the provider is supported in, and a function that, given a
`Request` as argument, can extract the information about the env under which it
should be processed.
To instantiate multiple OAuth providers for different environments, use
`OAuthEnvironmentHandler.mapConfig`. It's a helper to iterate over a
configuration object that is a map of environment to configurations. See one of
the existing OAuth providers for an example of how it is used.
Each provider exposes a factory function `createXProvider` (where X is the name
of the provider) that takes the global config, env and other parameters and
returns an `AuthProviderRouteHandlers` for each env, and an `envIdentifier`
function to identify the env of a request.
Given the following configuration:
```yaml
development:
clientId: abc
clientSecret: secret
production:
clientId: xyz
clientSecret: supersecret
```
The `OAuthEnvironmentHandler.mapConfig(config, envConfig => ...)` call will
split the `config` by the top level `development` and `production` keys, and
pass on each block as `envConfig`.
For a list of currently available providers, look in the `factories` module
located in `plugins/auth-backend/src/providers/factories.ts`
