Vue.js SPA Integration

This guide targets a browser-only SPA. Register it as a public client with no client secret.

IMPORTANT

PKCE with code_challenge_method=S256 is mandatory at this provider. A public SPA must never create or store a client secret.

See the API Reference for endpoint contracts.

1. Install Dependencies

bash
npm install oidc-client-ts

2. Environment Configuration

dotenv
VITE_SSO_ISSUER=https://api-sso.timeh.my.id
VITE_SSO_CLIENT_ID=<registered-public-client-id>
VITE_SSO_REDIRECT_URI=https://app.example.com/auth/callback
VITE_SSO_POST_LOGOUT_URI=https://app.example.com/

Every VITE_* value is public. Do not define VITE_SSO_CLIENT_SECRET.

3. Authorize + PKCE

ts
import { UserManager, WebStorageStateStore } from 'oidc-client-ts'

export const userManager = new UserManager({
  authority: import.meta.env.VITE_SSO_ISSUER,
  client_id: import.meta.env.VITE_SSO_CLIENT_ID,
  redirect_uri: import.meta.env.VITE_SSO_REDIRECT_URI,
  post_logout_redirect_uri: import.meta.env.VITE_SSO_POST_LOGOUT_URI,
  response_type: 'code',
  scope: 'openid profile email',
  code_challenge_method: 'S256',
  userStore: new WebStorageStateStore({ store: window.sessionStorage }),
})

The library must generate state, nonce, verifier, and a SHA-256 challenge. Never fall back to plain.

4. Callback and Exchange

ts
export async function completeLogin(): Promise<void> {
  const user = await userManager.signinRedirectCallback()
  if (user.expired) throw new Error('OIDC session expired')
}

The library exchanges the code with client_id and code_verifier, without a secret.

5. Refresh

Prefer a new authorization flow when the access token expires. If offline_access is approved, complete a browser threat review and use library rotation. Never persist tokens in localStorage.

6. Logout

Call userManager.signoutRedirect() and remove library state after the logout callback.

7. Troubleshooting

SymptomCheck
invalid_clientClient is public and no secret is sent.
PKCE rejectedThe library sends S256, never plain.
CORS failureThe SPA origin and token endpoint policy are approved.
Token exposureRemove logging and localStorage/persisted-store usage.
