I have been using Supabase for a couple months and I really like what I see. User authentication is pretty simple. I have sign up with email verification, sign in, and password reset all working. My question is how to invite a user thoriugh email? There is a function called inviteUserByEmail(), however, it is part of the admin API.
https://supabase.com/docs/reference/javascript/supabase-auth-admin-api says anything that starts with supabase.auth.admin must be called on a trusted server. I don't understand what it means by server. I thought supabase provided what I need? Can anybody offer me an explaination?
I have looked all over the internet and youtube and there are no examples of this anywhere.
Admin requests are meant to be used server side.

You could try having the same user experience by using the auth signup request https://supabase.com/docs/reference/javascript/auth-signup

I will ask again. Hope someone who has experienced the same issue offer me some help.
Background: to build a translation app from Swedish to English with ReactApp.
Issue: when access an open URL with axios.get(https://dictapi.lexicala.com/test), I am able to get data, but if replace with axios.get(https://dictapi.lexicala.com/search?source=global&language=sv&text=${keyWord}), resulted in GET https://dictapi.lexicala.com/search?source=global&language=sv&text=asdf 401
I suppose I need to find a way to embed my user credentials for api provider in my ReactApp code, everytime before use axios.get(https://dictapi.lexicala.com/search?source=global&language=sv&text=${keyWord}), I should make a login act to this api server. Because, I can access api server with URL in chrome, e.g. https://dictapi.lexicala.com/search?source=global&language=es&text=azul due to the fact chrome saved my user credentials.
Please indicate how to search the right question for sovling this problem? I am not expert with ReactJS and neither am I an English native speaker. What techniques should I refer to ?
The question is not related to React. It's related to a network call.
Looking at https://dictapi.lexicala.com looks like it requires a basic auth.
So probably what do you want to check is that question: How to send Basic Auth with axios
I haven't signed up for the service so I cant analyse the API, but I imagine you're assigned an API key - you'll want to either send this via url parameters or headers, depending on how the api works. These are both pretty easy to do with axios basic auth.
I was trying set up google authentication with react frontend and django rest framework backend. I set up both the frontend and backend using this two part tutorial, PART1 & PART2. When I try to login with google in the frontend I get POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/google-login/ 400 (Bad Request) I think it's because my google api needs an access token and an authorization code to be passed. After debugging the react js, I noticed the response I get from google doesn't have an authorization code. I suspect because responseType is permission(by default), Source:React login props , instead of code. I was wondering how would you change the response type in react? (I'm not even sure if this alone is the issue)
Here's my backend code
In my views.py file
class GoogleLogin(SocialLoginView):
adapter_class = GoogleOAuth2Adapter
callback_url = "http://localhost:3000"
client_class = OAuth2Client
in my urls.py
path('google-login/', GoogleLogin.as_view(), name='google-login'),
for my front end
/Components/login.js
const googleLogin = async (accesstoken,code) => {
console.log(accesstoken)
let res = await cacaDB.post(
`google-login/`,
{
access_token: accesstoken,
code: code
}
);
console.log(res);
return await res.status;
};
const responseGoogle = (response) => {
console.log(response.code);
googleLogin(response.accessToken, response.code);
}
return(
<div className="App">
<h1>LOGIN WITH GOOGLE</h1>
<GoogleLogin
clientId="client_id"
buttonText="LOGIN WITH GOOGLE"
onSuccess={responseGoogle}
onFailure={responseGoogle}
/>
</div>
)
I want to save the user in the database and have them stay logged in, in the front end.
This Post explains the login flow behind the scene. Here's Login flow image I'm basically stuck on returning code and accesstoken(I can return this successfully) step.
Here's my list of questions,
How do I return code from google?
I have knox token set up, can I
use it instead of the JWT tokens?
Does the class GoogleLogin(SocialLoginView), take care of the steps of validating the access token and code with google and creating the user with that email in database?
Would really appreciate your inputs.
After investigating a bit on my end, I think I might have a solution that works for you.
I've messed with OAuth before, and it's quite tricky sometimes because it has to be robust. So a bunch of security policies usually get in the way.
I'll provide my full step-by-step, since I was able to get it working, trying my best to match what you posted.
Firstly, to have a clean slate, I went off the example code linked in the tutorials. I cloned and built the project, and did the following:
Creating a new project on GCP
Configured the OAuth consent screen
I set the User type to "internal". This options may not be available if you're not using an account under GSuite (which I am). "External" should be fine though, just that "internal" is the easiest to test.
Created a OAuth 2.0 Client
Added http://localhost:3000 to the "Authorized JavaScript origins" and "Authorized redirect URIs" sections
Register a Django superuser
Registered a Site, with value of localhost:8000 for both fields.
Went into the admin panel, and added a Social Application with Client ID and Secret Key as the "Client ID" and "Client Secret" from GCP, respectively. I also picked the localhost site that we added earlier and added it to the right hand box. (I left Key blank)
Example of my Application Page
Filled in the clientId field in App.js, in the params of the GoogleLogin component.
Here's where I ran into a bit of trouble, but this is good news as I was able to reproduce your error! Looking at the request in the network inspector, I see that for me, no body was passed, which is clearly the direct cause of the error. But looking at App#responseGoogle(response), it clearly should pass a token of some sort, because we see the line googleLogin(response.accessToken).
So what is happening is that accounts.google.com is NOT returning a proper response, so something is happening on their end, and we get an invalid response, but we fail silently because javascript is javascript.
After examining the response that Google gave back, I found this related SO post that allowed me to fix the issue, and interestingly, the solution to it was quite simple: Clear your cache. I'll be honest, I'm not exactly sure why this works, but I suspect it has something to do with the fact that development is on your local machine (localhost/127.0.0.1 difference, perhaps?).
You can also try to access your site via incognito mode, or another browser, which also worked for me.
I have knox token set up, can I use it instead of the JWT tokens?
I don't think I have enough knowledge to properly answer this, but my preliminary research suggests no. AFAIK, you should just store the token that Google gives you, as the token itself is what you'll use to authenticate. It seems that Knox replaces Django's TokenAuthentication, which means that Knox is in charge of generating the token. If you're offloading the login work to Google, I don't see how you could leverage something like Knox. However, I could be very wrong.
Does the class GoogleLogin(SocialLoginView), take care of the steps of validating the access token and code with google and creating the user with that email in database?
I believe so. After successfully authenticating with Google (and it calls the backend endpoint correctly), it seems to create a "Social Account" model. An example of what it created for me is below. It retrieved all this information (like my name) from Google.
Example of my "Social Accounts" page
As for how to retrieve the login from the browser's local storage, I have no idea. I see no evidence of a cookie, so it must be storing it somewhere else, or you might have to set that up yourself (with React Providers, Services, or even Redux.
I am working on Safaricom Daraja API B2C but some of the required test credentials are not displayed in the Safaricom Dashboard.
As you can see above, the initiator name and security credentials are not provided yet they are needed in the B2C API call.
How do I get these credentials.
EDIT:
This question was asked before Safaricom upgraded to the new Daraja Dashboard. The problem has now been sorted
Apparently, for some unknown reason to us, Safaricom chose to hide the test credentials and if you need them, you have to write them an email at apisupport#safaricom.co.ke and request for the test credentials. You will get a response in less than an hour with shortcodes and initiators that you can use for test.
Source -> https://survtechnologies.co.ke/get-test-credentials-safaricom-m-pesa-daraja-api/
The test Credentials are on the simulator link, bottom right redirects to the link.
Please try this with the new mpesa portal2.0 - It is straight-forward
I'm trying to do an Authorization request following the documentation about it on Microsoft (Getting access on behalf of a user: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/auth-v2-user). I'm making the request using Azure's Logic Apps. I already made an app registration in Azure AD and gave it the following permissions (I used the app for a few different requests before so that's why it contains a lot of unnecessary api permissions). I already succeeded in getting access without a user (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/auth-v2-service). Now I really don't know what I'm doing wrong, so if anybody has an idea of what it is, please let me know. I will try to explain as carefully as possible using screenshots so you guys get the idea of what I'm trying to do.
On the first screen below you can see the api permission I added to my app registration. For this request I'm only asking authorization for the one with arrow next to it(as you will see later on).
On the second screen you can see the HTTP post request I'm trying to make to the authorize endpoint. I blurred out the Tenant and Client_id for privacy reasons. I only added the required parameters in the body as described by Microsoft. In the scope parameter you can see the api permission I'm asking permission for.
On the third screenshot you can see the output of the request. Instead of getting an Authorization code as requested, I get an HTML body.
When I paste that HTML body into a browser it gives me the following result:
I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. I tripled checked to make sure cookies are enabled, made sure third-party cookies are not disabled and added login.microsoftonline to my trusted websites.
I'm starting to think I'm doing something very simple wrong, but I can't figure out exactly what. Any help is welcome! :D
Sorry can't add a comment so posting as an answer
What you are trying to implement is the Authorization Code grant flow of OAUTH 2.0. In Authorization code grant flow following steps occur
1) User is presented with the scopes that an application requires when accessing certain resources,
2) The user authorizes this. and the user is redirected to a redirect url
3) The application then exchanges the code sent with the redirect url to get the actual token which in this case will be sent to the Microsoft Graph for validation.
4) User then sees the information pulled.
The major crux of Authorization Code grant flow is that "User Authorization is required" This basically means that this flow is used when the call is invoked from a browser client where the user is actually interacting. This flow should not go through the Azure Logic Apps. If you want a service or a daemon to access the resources in that case you should use Client Credentials Grant flow
My app uses JS Facebook API to use Facebook as a login/pass. Here what happens when you try to login.
User click on the Facebook Login Button
Facebook Authenticates
If Success. I grab the Facebook ID and Name of the user
Calls on my REST API on my APP to check and see if the that FBID is registered in my system.
If Registered, I write the session to verify that the user is authenticated.
This is great since I don't have to store usernames and password. But I am worried that someone will just use a REST API debugger like POSTMAN in chrome and just send a Facebook ID and the name of the user and they will be authenticated.
My question is what is the best way to secure my end that will prevent apps like POSTMAN to just input the fields needed to authenticate? Am I missing something? Can anyone recommend a strategy for this?
Or is using CSRF token the only way to combat this? I am using FuelPHP as a backend and doing a single page app using AngularJS with NgRoutes. But every time I enabled the CSRF on fuel, the token passed does not match what it was in the back-end.
I am under the impression that this is due to that the javascript token function is in the main page, where the ng-view. I know this might have something to do with the ngRoutes.
http://fuelphp.com/docs/classes/security.html
Use Fuel's Auth package. It has Opauth integration which does all the above, and for an entire list of social media platforms, not only facebook.
Always try not to reinvent the wheel, assume someone else has had the same challenge, solved at, and shared the solution with the community.
