Capturing failed request with ember-simple-auth

Question

I am adding functionality to allow users to reject un-expired oauth tokens. (I am using ember-simple-auth-oauth2 and a custom oauth2 implimentation).

I would like to notify clients using a rejected token that their token was manually rejected.

The 401 response from the server contains the reason the token is no longer valid ({message: "Token was expired by ip 1.1.1.1"}).

None of the invalidationSucceeded callbacks or events in the session or application mixin seem to have the 401 request passed to this info.

Is there a way to access the body of the request that returned the 401 before the redirect?

401 Unauthorized will trigger the authorizationFailed action if you're using the ApplicationRouteMixin. If you're not using the ApplicationRouteMixin you can subscribe to the session's authorizationFailed event.

Yeah, I have been trying those two methods. Unfortunately I need access to the response body of the 401 which does not appear to be available in either. Is it possible to get it? – Alan Peabody Sep 07 '14 at 18:05
The response body isn't passed to the `authorizationFailed` action, you could setup your own `Ember.$(document).ajaxError` hook though. – marcoow Sep 08 '14 at 06:41

You can customize the adapter and override the ajaxError method. Following is the example:

import DS from 'ember-data';    
export default DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
     host: url,

     ajaxError: function(jqXHR) {
         var error = this._super(jqXHR);

         if (jqXHR && jqXHR.status === 401) {
             var jsonErrors = Ember.$.parseJSON(jqXHR.responseText)["errors"];                 
             return new DS.InvalidError(jsonErrors);
         } else {
             return error;
         }
     }
});

I ended up using this plus sessionStorage to achieve what I wanted. Thanks. — Alan Peabody, Sep 12 '14 at 00:36

What if you override the authenticate action in your controller and handle the failure in there?

authenticate: function () {
  var promise = this._super(),
    _this = this;

  promise.then(function(result) {
    // code to do if succeeded
  }).catch(function(result) {
    // code to do if failed
  });
}

You just need to make sure that you call super to hand off the actual authenticate logic.
