passport-authtoken
Passport strategy for authenticating with a auth token and others
This module lets you authenticate using a authentication token and some phrase in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, local authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
Install
$ npm install passport-authtoken
Usage
Configure Strategy
The auth token authentication strategy authenticates users using a auth token and
some phrase. The strategy requires a verify callback, which accepts these
credentials and calls done providing a user.
passport.use(new LocalStrategy(
{ checkFields: ['pinNumber'] },
function(token, pinNumber, done) {
User.findOne({ token: token }, function (err, user) {
if (err) { return done(err); }
if (!user) { return done(null, false); }
if (!user.verifyPinNumber(pinNumber)) { return done(null, false); }
return done(null, user);
});
}
));
Authenticate Requests
Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'authtoken' strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.post('/login',
passport.authenticate('authtoken', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
function(req, res) {
res.redirect('/');
});
