Error 500

[dinogit]

Hi,

I have problem when trying to get request from Sharepoint. I did git clone project, built it, serve it and added credentials. After that I get this :

Error point to script.js:58.

Thanks in advance and thanks for creating this plugin.

Hi there @dinogit,

Can you try using relative URLs starting with '/'? E.g. '/_api/web' not '_api/web'.

[dinogit]

Hi @koltyakov

tried that first, it didn't work

How can I check if authentication succeeded?

[koltyakov]

I've just checked _api and /_api both works for me, I even forgot that this was taken into account. =)

You can check if auth works by creating authCheck.js in project's root folder with:

const AuthConfig = require('node-sp-auth-config').AuthConfig;
const spauth = require('node-sp-auth');

const authConfig = new AuthConfig({
    configPath: './config/private.json'
});

authConfig.getContext()
    .then(context => {
        return spauth.getAuth(context.siteUrl, context.authOptions);
    })
    .then(options => {
        console.log(options);
    })
    .catch(error => {
        console.log(error);
    });

and running:

node ./authCheck

If auth is ok, then there should be something like this:

or an error if something wrong with the creds or network or something. E.g.:

[koltyakov]

What auth type are you using, what is the version of SharePoint? I can see that it's on-premises, some auth could have been provided wrong.

It Sharepoint 2013, authentication is handled by Forefront TMG

[koltyakov]

Hmm, I'm not sure that node-sp-auth (authentication module) works with TMG. What a coincidence! I was going to test it with TMG upcoming days on one of the projects and environment access to which I do not have yet.

@dinogit, could you please try On-Demand and FBA scenarios? To do it, just rename ./config/private.json to something else and run the proxy or authCheck again and chose these strategies:

FBA is likely won't work (it would be crazy, but please try it too). On-Demand auth should open a browser window in electron for input. On-Demand auth can't work with NTLM, but when using TMG... maybe there a tiny chance. =)

If nothing of these won't work, stay tuned!

@s-KaiNet, just wondering, have you ever had a chance to test node-sp-auth with TMG? If none of existing auth scenarios don't work probably I'll create PR, as for my task I got a lot of work with environment behind TMG.

[dinogit]

Hi @koltyakov

I have test it and it's not working, receiving sam error.

Thank you very much for your time tonight and looking forward to see progress with environment behind TMG.

[s-KaiNet]

The only option which might work is ondemand scenario.
At least it works for this configuration, so that's a big chance it will work for TMG.
@dinogit have you tried on-demand option?

[koltyakov]

@s-KaiNet, thanks! We will know it for sure tomorrow when I got to get my hands dirty with TMG on the project I mentioned above.

[dinogit]

hi @s-KaiNet , when using on-demand option, after successful login and hitting submit button, it displays "Loading..." and just stays like that. There are no errors in console.

[s-KaiNet]

Where does it display loading? Can you please post a screen?

[dinogit]

[koltyakov]

Hey guys,

I've figured out and implemented new auth strategy for SharePoint (or actually any website) behind Forefront TMG reverse proxy.

Created a PR https://github.com/s-KaiNet/node-sp-auth/pull/17 to node-sp-auth project, hope the merge process will be smooth.

[koltyakov]

Hey @dinogit,

Can you try newly added auth scenario for SharePoint behind TMG?

To do it you should update node-sp-auth and node-sp-auth-config by:

Deleting node_modules folder and yarn.lock or package-lock.json (to avoid possible packages collisions),

and running

npm i node-sp-auth node-sp-auth-config --save-dev

inside a project.

Or it's even better to install sp-rest-proxy 2.4.0 - it contains updated dependencies.

Then delete or rename ./config/private.json, run node ./authCheck and choose Forefront TMG authentication:

Auth cookie should be in the following format:

I was managed to run few tests with proxy and a new auth method on the environment I have. Everything worked for me. Hope the same on your end. =)

[dinogit]

Hi @koltyakov

It's working 🥇 Thank you very much, you are the awesome

[koltyakov]

It's an issue in @types/request-promise declarations, just can be ignored.

[dinogit]

Hi @koltyakov I have updated yarn and it's working
