cholalabs / passport-localapikey Goto Github PK

Hi;

I am using AFNetworking library to use my REST API. It sends credentials via headers, but passport-localapikey reads them from body or query. Is it a way that passport-localapikey reads credentials from header?

Thank you

Good afternoon, could you deliver this version on npm? I really need some updates on the npm version, especially reading the apikey from headers.

Thanks

It misses the req.header checking

The example shows two pre-generated api keys to use for authentication purposes. I need new users to sign up and have new api keys generated for them. Is this possible? And if so, how? Thank you.

There is a forked version of this project which is being maintained here:
https://github.com/antgraf/passport-localapikey

It is published to npm under a different name, passport-localapikey-update (since the owner of this project has not responded):
https://www.npmjs.com/package/passport-localapikey-update

Feel free to use the forked version for future updates. If @cholalabs comes back to this project, then perhaps we can merge the fork back into this project and continue development here. Until then, we can use the fork.

Hope that helps others 😄

I am using passportjs library for authenticating the user with api key. What I am trying to do is that along with api key. I also want to check the host name of the request.

app.post('/api/authenticate', 
  passport.authenticate('localapikey'),
  function(req, res) {
    console.log('Authenticated');
  }); 

I don't know how passportjs calling the below function. But it definitely calling the function after a post request is coming to the path '/api/authenticate'. I also want to access the req.host in the below function.

passport.use(new LocalStrategy(
  function(apikey, done) {
    console.log(req.host);
}

Is it possible? Any insight into this would highly be appreciated. Thank you

Hi! Is there any plan to release the new version to the NPM registry in a near future?.
Thanks!

Hi, first - great job with this repo. Can you add req.params to apikey lookup? I did it by myself but I think it would be a good feature for out-of-box.

You seem too busy to maintain this repo, please add myself or others as collaborators and authors on npm. Passportjs org might also accept ownership.
