Check if Windows Username and Password is correct in NodeJs

Question

I have a NodeJs application with certain parameters. Some of them are a Username and a Password.

I am trying to figure out whether there is a way I can check if the Password provided for the given UserName is the right one according to Active Directory.

On my C# application, I can do something like this

bool isValid = pc.ValidateCredentials(UserName, Password, ContextOptions.Negotiate);

but... how to do something similar in NodeJs?

EDIT: In other words, I am trying to figure out given a UserName and Password that are part of a Windows domain, check whether the password is correct.

Example: UserName: [email protected] PassWord: password123!

I am wondering how to validate windows domain credentials using NodeJS

Answer 1

You need an Active Directory lib that you can use in NodeJS.

A few samples include:

• node-sspi from here
• passport-windowsauth from here
• ldapjs from here with an example of integration
• LDAP from here

Basically, through LDAP (packages of LDAP on npm) you could check if you are able to make a simple bind with the Active Directory, and therefore if the credentials are working.
