We need to integrate Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication into our backend, which is developed using Express.js and MongoDB. The goal is to allow users to authenticate using their existing credentials from various identity providers (e.g., Google, Facebook, GitHub, etc.). This will improve the user experience by simplifying the login process.
Tasks
1. Research and Select SSO Provider
[ ] Research various SSO providers (e.g., Auth0, Okta, OneLogin).
[ ] Select the most suitable SSO provider based on our project requirements.
[ ] Document the reasons for selecting the chosen provider.
2. Set Up the SSO Provider
[ ] Create an account with the selected SSO provider.
[ ] Configure the necessary settings in the SSO provider’s dashboard (e.g., redirect URIs, application credentials).
[ ] Document the setup process and configurations.
3. Integrate SSO with Express.js Backend
[ ] Install the necessary libraries for the selected SSO provider in the Express.js project.
[ ] Implement the SSO authentication flow in the backend.
[ ] Configure routes for login and callback.
[ ] Handle token verification and user information retrieval.
[ ] Document the integration process and code changes.
4. Update MongoDB User Schema
[ ] Modify the MongoDB user schema to store SSO-related information (e.g., provider ID, tokens).
[ ] Ensure backward compatibility with existing user data.
[ ] Document the schema changes.
5. Testing and Debugging
[ ] Test the SSO authentication flow with different identity providers.
[ ] Debug and resolve any issues encountered during testing.
[ ] Document the testing scenarios and results.
6. Update Documentation
[ ] Update the project documentation to include instructions for setting up and using SSO authentication.
[ ] Include any necessary configuration details for different environments (development, staging, production).
7. Review and Merge
[ ] Conduct a code review to ensure the implementation meets the project standards.
[ ] Merge the changes into the main branch after successful review and testing.
8. Deployment
[ ] Deploy the updated backend to the production environment.
[ ] Monitor the SSO authentication functionality for any issues post-deployment.
[ ] Document the deployment process and any necessary steps.
