Auth Center is an OAuth2.0 authorization server with TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) support for Node.js. Version 2.2.0 (stable) includes built-in admin UI, supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MariaDB via Sequelize ORM, and provides both CLI and programmatic interfaces. It implements the OAuth2.0 authorization code grant flow and enhances password authentication with TOTP. Compared to alternatives like oauth2orize, it offers an all-in-one solution with session management (Redis support), email integration, and database schema synchronization.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default
✓ const AuthServer = require('auth-center');
✗ import AuthServer from 'auth-center';
Package uses CommonJS, not ES modules. Default import via require.
AuthServer
✓ const server = AuthServer({...});
✗ new AuthServer({...})
AuthServer is a factory function, not a class. Do not use 'new'.
CLI usage
✓ $ auth-center start --port 3000 --sync
✗ $ auth-center start -p 3000 -s
Use full option names (--port, --sync) for clarity.

Initializes an Auth Center server with SQLite, syncs database schema, and listens on port 3000.

const AuthServer = require('auth-center'); const server = AuthServer({ domain: 'http://localhost:3000', orm: { database: 'db_auth', username: 'root', password: process.env.DB_PASSWORD ?? '', dialect: 'sqlite', storage: './auth.db' }, session: { secret: 'my-secret-key' }, mail: { from: 'admin@example.com', host: 'smtp.example.com', port: 465, secure: true, auth: { user: 'user', pass: 'pass' } } }); server.listen(3000, () => { console.log('Auth Center running on http://localhost:3000'); server.orm.database().sync({ force: true }).then(() => console.log('Sync done.')); });

Known issues
breakingRemoved support for Node.js < 8. Engines field requires node >= 8.
fix
Upgrade Node.js to version 8 or higher.

fix
Use alter: true or migrate manually instead of force.
affects: >=1.0.0
gotchaOAuth2.0 only supports authorization code grant type; implicit and client credentials are not implemented.
fix
Use authorization code flow or extend the library.
affects: >=1.0.0
gotchaSession secret must be provided via config, otherwise default is insecure.
fix
Always set session.secret in config.
affects: >=1.0.0
