Torii Provider ArcGIS

Note This package should be considered deprecated. Although still used in some production applications, support for this will end soon. The v4 release is expected to be the last.

ArcGIS authentication provider & adapters for Torii, packaged as an Ember CLI Addon.

Notes

This addon provides a convenient utility for Ember.js developers to add support for authenticating ArcGIS users using OAuth 2.0.

Disclaimer: This is beta software. It does not currently handle federating ArcGIS Server credentials.

Usage

Create a project using ember-cli.

$ ember new my-new-app

Add Torii and the ArcGIS Provider to the project

$ ember install torii
$ ember install torii-provider-arcgis

Now edit /config/environment.js to add your Torii provider configuration.

module.exports = function (environment) {
  var ENV = {
    // ... other ENV config stuff here

    torii: {
      sessionServiceName: "session",
      providers: {
        "arcgis-oauth-bearer": {
          apiKey: "APP CLIENT ID GOES HERE",
          webTier: false, // optional - if true, support web-tier authentication in Portal
          loadGroups: false, // makes an additional API request to populate groups
          portalUrl: "https://someportal.com", //optional - defaults to https://arcgis.com
        },
      },
    },
  };

  return ENV;
};

Note If deploying to gh-pages, you will want to set a few more environment params:

if (environment === "production") {
  ENV.locationType = "hash";
  ENV.rootURL = "/your-repo-name/";
}

Torii Session

Usually the torii session is an opt-in feature, so - strictly speaking - you don't need to use it, but we recommend it, and this documentation assumes you are using it.

Torii injects the session into all routes and controllers, so you can just access it in a template.

We recommend passing data into components vs. having them pull in the session.

Session Properties

Property Value Description
isAuthenticated boolean Is the session authenticated?
isWorking boolean Is the session in transition?
currentUser object the ArcGIS.com User
portal object the ArcGIS.com Portal object
token string the token returned as part of the authentication process
isGroupMember boolean Is the user a member of a particular group.
authType string "token" or "web-tier" type of authentication used
userHubHome string URL for current user's hub home site

Example usage

//app/templates/secure.hbs
{{#if session.isAuthenticated}}
<h2>Hello {{session.currentUser.fullName}}</h2>
<ul>
  <li>Portal Name: {{session.portal.name}}</li>
  <li>Token: {{session.token}}</li>
</ul>
{{else}}
<p>Not authenticated</p>
{{/if}}

Session Methods

Method Return Description
isInRole('roleName') bool is the current user in the specified role
isInAnyRole(['role1', 'role2']) bool is the current user in any of the specified roles
hasPrivilege('privName') bool does the current user have the specified privilege
hasAnyPrivilege(['priv1', 'priv2']) bool does the current user have the specified privilege
isInOrg('orgId') bool is the current user a member of the specified org
isInAnyOrg(['orgId1', 'orgId2']) bool is the current user a member of any of the specified orgs
portalHostName() string returns a protocol-less hostname for the portal i.e. www.arcgis.com or dcdev.maps.arcgis.com
portalRestUrl() string returns https url for the portal api i.e. https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest or https://dcdev.maps.arcgis.com/sharing/rest. Respects ArcGIS Enterprise httpsPort settings

Example Usage

//app/routes/privileged.js
...
beforeModel(){
  let session = this.get('session');
  if(!session.isAuthenticated){
    this.transitionTo('signin');
  }else{
    if(!session.hasPrivilege('some:priv')){
      this.transitionTo('notauthorized');
    }
  }
}

ArcGIS Authentication Options

The ArcGIS Platform has a few types of authentication, based on OAuth2. For all the details, please consult the documentation.

Named User Login

Since your application will not be running on a sub-domain of ArcGIS.com, you will need to use a 'pop-up' based authentication flow.

With this model, you need to register an application at developers.arcgis.com.

Next, at developers.arcgis.com you need to register a Redirect URI for the application - this should be the url where your web application lives.

Note: You can add multiple Redirect URI's for a single application, including http://localhost, which is convenient for development.

Once that's complete, you will need to copy the 'client id', and put it into the torii provider as noted above.

To initiate authentication with this flow, typically you will use a button and have it's action initiate the "opening" of a session.

In your application, on the controller or route where this button lives, add an action like:

//app/routes/application.js
import Ember from "ember";
export default Ember.Route.extend({
  actions: {
    signin: function () {
      this.get("session")
        .open("arcgis-oauth-bearer")
        .then((authorization) => {
          Ember.debug("AUTH SUCCESS: ", authorization);
          // transition to some secured route or... so whatever is needed
          this.controller.transitionToRoute("secure");
        })
        .catch((err) => {
          Ember.debug("AUTH ERROR: ", err);
        });
    },
  },
});

When this action is fired, it will open the session, which will utilize torii to open a pop-up window with the ArcGIS.com login displayed.

Esri Hosted Applications

Esri hosted applications (hosted on a subdomain of arcgis.com) can have the ArcGIS.com login page embedded in an iframe.

There are a few additional configuration parameters required for the torii-provider-arcgis configuration so that the url that is constructed for the iframe has the correct parameters.

//config/environment.js
module.exports = function (environment) {
  var ENV = {
    // ... other ENV config stuff here

    torii: {
      sessionServiceName: "session",
      providers: {
        "arcgis-oauth-bearer": {
          apiKey: "ESRI-WELL-KNOWN-APPLICATION-ID",
          portalUrl: "https://somePortal.com", //optional - defaults to https://www.arcgis.com
          remoteServiceName: "iframe",
          display: "iframe",
          showSocialLogins: true, //optional, will default to false
          customRedirectUri: "https://someUrl.com/custom-redirect", //optional, but allows for deeper customization
        },
      },
    },
  };

  return ENV;
};

Since torii is really designed to work with 'pop-up' style OAuth, in order to have the login page injected in the iframe on a specific template (i.e. /signin), we need to do a little more work.

Torii has a iframe placeholder component, and this needs to be in the DOM before we can call session.open. So we add it into the signin template

//app/templates/signin.hbs
{
  {
    torii - iframe - placeholder;
  }
}

But - just adding it won't do anything - we still need a means to open the session after the DOM has been rendered. We do this by adding some code into the route.

//app/routes/signin.js
import Ember from "ember";
export default Ember.Route.extend({
  actions: {
    //this will fire once the route has fully transitioned
    //but the DOM may not be done rendering yet...
    didTransition: function () {
      //so we schedule it to run afterRender
      Ember.run.schedule("afterRender", this, function () {
        this.get("session")
          .open("arcgis-oauth-bearer")
          .then((authorization) => {
            Ember.debug("AUTH SUCCESS: ", authorization);
            //transition to secured route etc...
            this.controller.transitionToRoute("secure");
          })
          .catch((err) => {
            Ember.debug("AUTH ERROR: " + JSON.stringify(err));
          });
      });
    },
  },
});

Running the Addon Locally

The torii example app at ArcGIS.com is configured to use http://torii-example.com:4200/redirect.html as their redirect uri, so you will need to make an alias in your hosts file that points torii-example.com to localhost, and you must view the examples from that same host.

To use the ArcGIS Online authentication you need to run the app on localui.arcgis.com so you should also make an alias for this.

To add this hostname on a Mac:

  • sudo vim /etc/hosts
  • Add 127.0.0.1 torii-arcgis-provider-example.com
  • Add 127.0.0.1 localui.arcgis.com

The /etc/hosts equivalent filepath on Windows is: %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.

For more info, see Hosts at wikipedia.
