Custom Authentication with LinkedIn

[Brendan OHara]

Any folks have an example of using the Custom Authentication System with Emberfire & Torii in the new API?

I am specifically only looking to add LinkedIn auth but there do not seem to be any examples out there.

Hey Brendan,

You could look at using auth0.

You'd need to do the following:

- Add Firebase addon to the auth0 app: https://auth0.com/docs/server-apis/firebase

- Enable LinkedIn as an identity provider

- Use auth0 to pop up the lock widget and auth the user

- When done, exchange the auth0 token for a firebase delegation token and throw that into the Firebase custom token method.

Crude example:

// display the lock widget

lock.show({}, (err, profile, id_token) => {

  var options = {

    id_token : id_token,

    api : 'firebase',

    scope : 'openid name email displayName',

    target: 'YOUR-AUTH0-CLIENT-ID'

  };

  // exchange the delegate token for a Firebase auth token

  auth0.getDelegationToken(options, (err, result) => {

    if (!err) {

      

      this.get('session').open('firebase', {provider: 'custom', token: result.id_token})

        .then((result) => {

          // should be authed to firebase and have an active torii session

        });

    }

  });

});

Inspiration was taken from this guide.

Hope that helps,

Tim
