Leandro Boffi. Cloud, Identity, Mobility and Software Architecture.

During the last months I’ve been working a lot with Node.js, I really like it. I’m building something huge, but I’ll talk about that later, the reason for this post is share with you a Node.js module in which I’m working on: a Windows Azure Access Control Service (recently renamed to Windows Azure Active Directory) management client for node.js.

As you probably know ACS or Windows Azure Active Directory has an OData API for manage Identity Providers, Relying Parties, Rules, etc, as a requirement in the project that I’m working on we needed to use that, so together with my teammate Gustavo Machado we build this nice Node.js module that allows to do that in a very simple manner.

You can find it on my github: https://github.com/leandrob/node-acs-cli

Installation

$ npm install acs-cli

How to use it….

var ManagementClient = require('acs-cli');

var client = new ManagementClient('[acsNamespace]', '[acs-management-key]');

client
        .from('RelyingParties')
        .top(2)
        .query(function (err, res) {
            ///res...
        });

Hope be useful!
