passhash-auth v0.1.0

passhash-auth

Module to be used to read in hashed passwords generated by passhash. This can be used as a replacement for htpasswd for web apps or easy authentication for standalone apps.

Usage

npm install passhash-auth

then

var passhashauth = require('passhash-auth')

Functions

###loadAuthFile(file_name)

The file should contain lines using the default output format of passhash. For reference:

{username}:{salt}:{hash}:{iterations}

###isUser(user_name)

Checks if a given user_name is valid. Returns a boolean.

###checkHashMatch(user_name, password)

Checks if the given user_name and password are valid. Returns a boolean.

Example

For this example we will assume the user name and password were obtained from a secure source such as a SSL socket. Due to the checkHashMatch function returning a boolean, you can have it execute anything you want depending on the return value. For our example it will print to stdout either match or nonmatch.

var passhashauth = require('passhash-auth');

passhashauth.loadAuthFile(__dirname + '/test_auth');

var user1 = 'test',
    pass1 = 'correctPassword',

if (passhashauth.checkHashMatch(user1, pass1)) {
    console.log('match');
} else {
    console.log('nonmatch');
}

This outputs:

match
