CertificateProvider

@webda/auth


Class: CertificateProvider<T>

Defined in: packages/auth/src/certificate/certificate.service.ts:97

Login with a TLS client certificate (mTLS)

The certificate is verified by the HttpServer (clientCa) or by a trusted reverse proxy (clientCertHeader): this provider maps verified certificates to users. In login mode, each request carrying the certificate of a known user gets a stateless session with the provider "certificate" and the authentication method "mtls". In factor mode, it adds "mtls" only to an existing session for the same user on that request.

Exposes the operation Auth.Certificate.Link (POST auth/certificate/link) linking the presented certificate to the logged user.

Fails silently if the application is not available (e.g., in unit tests where services are instantiated without a full application context).

Returns​

void

Example​

// If webda.module.json contains:
// { "moddas": { "MyApp/HawkService": { "capabilities": ["request-filter", "cors-filter"] } } }

// { "request-filter": {}, "cors-filter": {} }
