proactive-sharepoint-auth

library0.1.0jsnpmunverified

A lightweight Node.js library for authenticating against SharePoint Online and retrieving authentication cookies. Version 0.1.0 is the current stable release. It uses device-level credentials (username/password) to obtain a FedAuth cookie that can be used for subsequent SharePoint API calls. The library is minimal, with no external dependencies, but relies on the deprecated SPO login flow. It only supports username-password authentication (no MFA or app-only). Released irregularly, with no updates since initial version.

Verified usage

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

SharePoint.Authenticate

✓ const proactive = require('proactive-sharepoint-auth'); new proactive.SharePoint.Authenticate(...)

✗ import { SharepointAuthenticate } from 'proactive-sharepoint-auth'

The package does not provide ES module exports. Use CommonJS require. The class is nested under `SharePoint` property.

SharePoint.Authenticate

✓ import * as proactive from 'proactive-sharepoint-auth'; new proactive.SharePoint.Authenticate(...)

✗ import { SharePoint } from 'proactive-sharepoint-auth'

Even in TypeScript with ESM, you must use namespace import because the module exports via module.exports, not named exports.

SharePoint.Authenticate

✓ const { SharePoint } = require('proactive-sharepoint-auth'); new SharePoint.Authenticate(...)

✗ const auth = require('proactive-sharepoint-auth'); new auth.Authenticate(...)

The exported object has a 'SharePoint' property containing the Authenticate class.

Authenticates against SharePoint Online and logs the FedAuth cookie.

const proactive = require('proactive-sharepoint-auth'); const auth = new proactive.SharePoint.Authenticate( 'https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com', 'user@tenant.onmicrosoft.com', 'your-password' ); auth.authenticate() .then(cookie => { console.log('Authentication cookie:', cookie); // Use cookie for SharePoint API calls }) .catch(err => { console.error('Authentication failed:', err); });

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn version 0.0.1, the API was proactive.SharePoint.Authenticate instead of proactive.SharePoint.Authenticate (capitalization). Mistaking the casing will cause a runtime error.

fix

Ensure correct casing: proactive.SharePoint.Authenticate

affects: >=0.0.1

deprecatedUsername-password authentication for SharePoint Online is deprecated by Microsoft and may stop working. Use OAuth 2.0 app-only or delegated authentication instead.

fix

Migrate to @pnp/nodejs or msal-node with proper OAuth 2.0 flows.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaThe authenticate() method returns a cookie string, not an object. Ensure you handle it as a plain string when using in HTTP headers.

fix

Set the cookie header as 'Cookie: FedAuth=' + cookie instead of JSON.stringify(cookie).

affects: >=0.1.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: proactive.SharePoint is undefined

Incorrect import or misspelling of the namespace.

fix

Use correct require: const proactive = require('proactive-sharepoint-auth'); and access proactive.SharePoint.Authenticate.

Cannot find module 'proactive-sharepoint-auth'

Package not installed or not in node_modules.

fix

Run npm install proactive-sharepoint-auth --save

Request failed with status code 403

Authentication credentials are incorrect or MFA is required.

fix

Verify username/password. For MFA-enabled accounts, use an alternative auth method (e.g., app-only).
