Create consumer in real-time about kong-js-pdk HOT 6 CLOSED

@akira28 I don't immeditately see a way to do it without touching DB directly (or admin API), and that could be ugly. However
i can see this usage being common, actually plugins like openid, oauth2 has the same requirement. But instead of actually create a consumer
you can use kong.client.authenticate(consumer, credential) to tell Kong the credential it mapped to. And plugins like rate-limit also honors
credential without the need to lookup consumer. But don't set consumer, since it's not a consumer mapped anyway.

ah, nice to know. But how can I create the 'credential' object? And can I call kong.client.authenticate(undefined, credential) (undefined consumer)?

Yes you can. On Lua PDK I think credential is just an table of { id = "the credential value" }, it would work with
proper Js syntax, though i didn't try for myself.

by 'the credential value' you mean the 'api key'?

from kong-js-pdk.

credential in this context means an abitrary identitifer that your internal auth system returns, that can uniquely
identifier a user.
