Steam Reconcile Lambda

When a Steam identity provider is used to complete a federated login request, FusionAuth will use the configured linking strategy to reconcile the user. FusionAuth will attempt to match the user information returned from the Steam identity provider to an existing user account or create a new one.

You may optionally utilize a lambda to customize the user and user registration during the authentication event.

When you create a new lambda using the FusionAuth administrative user interface, you will be provided an empty function to implement.

Lambda Structure

If you are using the API to create the lambda you will need to ensure your function has the following signature:

function reconcile(user, registration, userInfo) {
  // Lambda code goes here
}

This lambda must contain a function named reconcile that takes three parameters. The parameters that the lambda is passed are:

  • user - the FusionAuth User object. You can modify this, except the email or username attribute may not be modified after the user has been linked.
  • registration - the FusionAuth UserRegistration object. You can modify this.
  • userInfo - the JSON payload returned by the Steam Token Details API. This is read-only.

The two FusionAuth objects are well documented here in the User API and Registration API documentation. The userInfo may contain various user claims depending upon the user’s Steam configuration.

Assigning The Lambda

Once a lambda is created, you may assign it to the Steam identity provider in the IdP configuration.

Navigate to Settings -> Identity Providers and select your existing Steam configuration or click Add provider and select Steam if it has not yet been configured.
