Custom authentication strategy for Passport.
npm install passport-custom
Passport strategy for authenticating with custom logic.
This module lets you authenticate using custom logic in your Node.js
applications. It is based on passport-local module by Jared Hanson.
By plugging into Passport, custom authentication can be easily and
unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports
Connect-style middleware, including
Express.
$ npm install passport-custom
#### Configure Strategy
The custom authentication strategy authenticates users by custom logic of your choosing.
The strategy requires a verify callback, which is where the custom logic goes and callsdone providing a user. Note that, req is always passed as the first parameter to the verify callback.
Here is the pseudo code:
``javascript
import passportCustom from 'passport-custom';
const CustomStrategy = passportCustom.Strategy;
passport.use('strategy-name', new CustomStrategy(
function(req, callback) {
// Do your custom user finding logic here, or set to false based on req object
callback(null, user);
}
));
`
And a basic example:
`javascript`
passport.use(new CustomStrategy(
function(req, done) {
User.findOne({
username: req.body.username
}, function (err, user) {
done(err, user);
});
}
));
#### Authenticate Requests
Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'custom' strategy (or whatever you named the strategy upon registration), to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express
application:
`javascript``
app.post('/login',
passport.authenticate('custom', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
function(req, res) {
res.redirect('/');
}
);
