I could recommend https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider supports most of the oidc/oauth 2 rabbit hole specs.

7 sourcesSEEKING FREELANCER | Remote | NodeJS Dev with OpenID Connect experience
Looking for a NodeJS developer with OpenID / OAuth 2.0 experience to help with upgrading an OpenID Connect implementation. Specifically, the OpenID service depends on v6 of this library: https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider
We would like a review of our current implementation, and help with finishing a mostly-completed upgrade to v7 before we onboard 3rd-parties to our authentication and authorization infrastructure. We estimate the contract length to be between 1 - 2 months, part-time. To apply, send your CV and hourly rate to cristina@cradle.app. Please be sure to highlight your experience with the relevant technologies and protocols.
In Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (November 2022)I'm passing familiar with this area, but not as familiar as I should be...
How does this compare to something like this - https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider
Are they addressing the same need? Is Ory looking to get certified in these area? (Is it already?)
In Show HN: Ory Kratos – Open-source identity server written in GoI actually did exclude those on purpose, because I think they're somewhat out of scope -- arguably the point of running something like Authelia/Keratin/Dex/Keycloak/etc is to not write a single line of auth code, even if it's just wiring up a module/component.
That said, here are some more in the space that I personally have earmarked:
- (all-in-one) jsso2[0]
- (all-in-one, embeddable) a12n-server[1]
- (embeddable) node-oidc-provider[2]
- (embeddable) node-oauth2-server[3]
- (all-in-one, embeddable) authboss[4]
- (proxy) vouch-proxy for NGINX[5]
- (proxy) Grant with support for over 200 provider (!!)[6]

Hi. Great work! We are using https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider and fairly happy with what it provides. How is it different? better than this popular open-source package?
In Sick of spending time on Auth, we built an open source 'Stripe for Auth'This is a great exercise. It's really fulfilling to learn a spec by implementing.
I've used @panva's certified [0] js provider [1] and client [2] for many use cases. Is there a reason (aside from learning) to reimplement the spec? If you do, you may consider getting your implementation certified to expand the list!
