Passport-based User Authentication system for Sails.js applications.

$ npm install sails-auth --save

This will install sails-auth as a Sails Hook. The Hook uses marlinspike to inject the relevant Controllers, Policies, etc into your Sails application.

By default, the local and basic strategies are enabled. See config/passport.js for examples of how to add and configure additional authentication strategies.

  bcrypt: {
    /**
     * Specifiy number of salt rounds to perform on password. Values >10 are
     * slow.
     */
    rounds: 8
  }

Create users as you normally would (POST to /user). Authenticate using the endpoint of the provider you've chosen.

Authenticate with the local strategy via a POST to /auth/local with params identifier (email) and password). This will also create a session. See passport.local for more.

See passport.http.
