passport-endo-passthru v1.1.0

passport-endo-passthru

Passport strategy to pass meshblu credentials through to endos that don't want to implement auth.

Install

$ npm install passport-anonymous

Usage

Configure Strategy

The endo-passthru authentication strategy passes authentication for a request, with req.user remaining undefined.

passport.use(new EndoPassthruStrategy());

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'endo-passthru' strategy, to pass authentication of a request. This is typically used with Octoblu endos for services that do not want to authenticate against a 3rd party service.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.post('/hello',
  passport.authenticate(['endo-passthru'], { session: false }),
  function(req, res) {
    if (req.user) {
      res.json({ uuid: req.user.uuid });
    } else {
      res.json({ uuid: null });
    }
  });
