Implement a new method for changing user password with password-reset
token but without the old password.
REST API
POST /api/users/reset-password
Authorization: your-password-reset-token-id
Content-Type: application/json
{"newPassword": "new-pass"}
JavaScript API
User.setPassword(userId, newPassword[, cb])
userInstance.setPassword(newPassword[, cb])
Note: the new REST endpoint is not protected by scopes yet, therefore
any valid access token can invoke it (similarly to how any valid access
token can change the password via PATCH /api/users/:id).
Fix the code builing a scoped method to correctly handle the case
when the setup method is called twice and the previously defined
method has to be overriden with new remoting metadata.
Define a new property `AccessToken.scopes` to contain the list of
scopes granted to this access token.
Define a new remote method metadata `accessScopes` to contain a list
of scope name required by this method.
Define a special built-in scope name "DEFAULT" that's used when
a method/token does not provide any scopes. This allows access
tokens to grant access to both the default scope and any additional
custom scopes at the same time.
Modify the authorization algorithm to ensure that at least one
of the scopes required by a remote method is allowed by the scopes
granted to the requesting access token.
The "DEFAULT" scope preserve backwards compatibility because existing
remote methods with no `accessScopes` can be accessed by (existing)
access tokens with no `scopes` defined.
Impact on existing applications:
- Database schema must be updated after upgrading the loopback version
- If the application was already using a custom `AccessToken.scopes`
property with a type different from an array, then the relevant code
must be updated to work with the new type "array of strings".
Currently any `currentUserLiteral` routes when accessed with a bad
token throw a 500 due to a SQL error that is raised because
`Model.findById` is invoked with `id={currentUserLiteral}`
(`id=me` in our case) when the url rewrite fails.
This commit changes the token middleware to return 401 Not Authorized
when the client is requesting a currentUserLiteral route without
a valid access token.
Emit a new method "remoteMethodAdded" whenever a new method is added,
typically when `Model.remoteMethod` or `Model.nestRemoting` is called.
The method is emitted both by the Model affected and the application
object.
Implement a new method for changing user passwords the secure way.
The method requires the old password to be provided before a new
password can be used.
REST API:
POST /api/users/change-password
Authorization: your-token-id
Content-Type: application/json
{"oldPassword":"old-pass", "newPassword": "new-pass"}
JavaScript API:
User.changePassword(userId, oldPassword, newPassword[, cb])
There is also an instance-level (prototype) method that can be used
from JavaScript:
userInstance.changePassword(oldPassword, newPassword[, cb])
Adds an authorizedRoles object to remotingContext.args.options
which contains all the roles (static and dynamic) that are
granted to the user when performing a request through
strong-remoting to an app with authentication enabled.
The authorizedRoles object for example looks like:
{
$everyone: true,
$authenticated: true,
myRole: true
}
NOTE: this pr also covers a number of jsdoc fixes as well
as refactoring in ACL.js and access-context.js
Allow custom properties to be added to Change Model,
and make change filter customizable through mixins
to allow to add the custom property to the filter
used to look up relevant changes during change replication.
Applications using MongoDB connectors typically have `user.id`
property of type ObjectID.
This commit fixes the code building the verification URL to
correctly convert the user id value into string.
Enhance User.prototype.verify to pass the generated token
to the templating function in addition to other existing properties.
This allows application to build multiple URLs in the email template,
for example in order to provide a different URL for desktop and
mobile browsers.
Fixing server/middleware/token.js to handle correctly the
setup of a custom AccessToken model by name in either
middleware.json or using any of :
app.use(loopback.token({...}));
app.middlewareFromConfig(loopback.token, {...})
app.middleware('auth', loopback.token({...})
Modify `app.enableAuth()` to verify that (custom) User and AccessToken
models have correctly configured their hasMany/belongsTo relations
and print a warning otherwise.
Fix the code invalidating access tokens on user email/password changes
to correctly handle the case when the relation
"AccessToken belongs to (subclassed) user" is not configured.
Add a new model-level setting "replicationChunkSize" which allows
users to configure change replication algorithm to issue several
smaller requests to fetch changes and upload updates.
Fix `Role.isOwner()` to check both principalId and principalType.
This fixes a bug where users from different User model were treated
as owners as long as their user id was the same as owner's id.
Fix User.prototype.verify to call `querystring.stringify` instead
of concatenating query-string components directly.
In particular, this fixes the bug where `options.redirect` containing
a hash fragment like `#/home?arg1=value1&arg2=value2` produced incorrect
URL, because the `redirect` value was not correctly encoded.
Allow LoopBack applications to configure multiple User models and share
the same AccessToken model.
To enable this feature:
1) In your custom AccessToken model:
- add a new property "principalType" of type "string".
- configure the relation "belongsTo user" as polymorphic,
using "principalType" as the discriminator
2) In your User models:
- Configure the "hasMany accessTokens" relation as polymorphic,
using "principalType" as the discriminator
When creating custom Role and Principal instances, set your
User model's name as the value of "prinicipalType".
Fix configuration of Karma:
- Disable ES6 modules. The ES6 module transpiler is adding
"use strict" to all source files, this breaks e.g. chai or juggler
- Relax "ignore" setting to exclude only strong-task-emitter,
thus bring back Babel transpilation for chai and juggler.
Before this change, dependencies in node_modules (e.g. strong-remoting)
were not transformed to ES5 and thus crashed the tests in PhantomJS.
Note that loopback-datasource-juggler cannot be babelified to ES5
because it does not correctly support strict mode yet.
Return 401 when the request does not provide any accessToken argument
or the token was not found.
Also simplify the implementation of the `logout` method to make only
a single database call (`deleteById`) instead of `findById` + `delete`.
- Remove ES5 parser exception from .eslintrc
- Configure Karma to use Babel to transpile ES6 sources to ES5,
because PhantomJS does not support ES6
- Upgrade es5-shim to es6-shim
Fix User model to preserve the current session (provided via
"options.accessToken") when invalidating access tokens after a change
of email or password property.
