Ory Kratos Session Catcher
Unfortunately with Ory Kratos alone it is currently impossible to offer authentication via one of the social login providers (Google, Apple, ..) for non-browser API apps like mobile apps. The browser API cannot be used, because the session is sent as a HttpOnly cookie to the client. It is hard or impossible to extract the session from a mobile webview.
This service can be called after a session is returned from Kratos to a browser endpoint. It will read the cookie and redirects the user back to a non-browser app via deep linking.
Usage
Use the Docker image pushed to the Github Registry:
docker pull ghcr.io/openscript-ch/ory-kratos-session-catcher:latest
Environment variables
| Name | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
PORT |
Listning port of this service for HTTP requests | 3000 |
REDIRECT_PATH |
Path where the user is redirected to | - |
REDIRECT_SESSION_PARAM_KEY |
Key which is used to attach the session token, when the user is redirected | ory_kratos_session |
SESSION_COOKIE_KEY |
Cookie name of the session token, which is sent to this service | ory_kratos_session |
State
A solution without this service seems to be planed. As soon as there is a solution integrated into Kratos this project becomes obsolete.
