Passport strategy for authenticating with a pin
This module lets you authenticate using a pin 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.
$ npm install passport-pin
The local authentication strategy authenticates users using a username and
password. The strategy requires a verify
callback, which accepts these
credentials and calls done
providing a user.
passport.use(new PinStrategy(
function(pin, done) {
User.findOne({ pin: pin }, function (err, user) {
if (err) { return done(err); }
if (!user) { return done(null, false); }
if (!user.verifyPassword(password)) { return done(null, false); }
return done(null, user);
});
}
));
Use passport.authenticate()
, specifying the 'pin'
strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.post('/pinlogin',
passport.authenticate('local', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
function(req, res) {
res.redirect('/');
});
