Hapi authentication plugin

hapi Bearer Token Authentication Scheme

What

The plugin requires validating a token passed in by the bearer authorization header or via the access_token query param. The validation function is something you have to provide to the plugin.

How

var validateFunction = function (token, callback) {
 
    // Use a real strategy here to check if the token is valid
    if (token === 'abc456789') {
        callback(null, true, userCredentials);
    }
    else {
        callback(null, false, userCredentials);
    }
};
 
server.register(require('hapi-auth-bearer-simple'), function (err) {
 
    if (err) {
        throw err;
    }
 
    server.auth.strategy('bearer', 'bearerAuth', {
        validateFunction: validateFunction
    });
 
    // Add a standard route here as example
    server.route({
        method: 'GET',
        path: '/',
        handler: function (request, reply) {
 
            reply({ success: true });
        },
        config: {
            auth: {
                strategy: 'bearer',
                scope: 'user' // or [ 'user', 'admin' ]
            }
        }
    });
 
    server.start(function (err) {
 
        if (err) {
            throw err;
        }
 
        server.log([],'Server started at: ' + server.info.uri);
    });
});
  • validateFunction - (required) a token lookup and validation function with the signature function (token, callback)
    • token - the auth token received from the client.
    • callback - a callback function with the signature function (err, isValid, credentials) where:
      • err - any error.
      • isValid - true if both the username was found and the password matched, otherwise false.
      • credentials - an object passed back to the plugin and which will become available in the requestobject as request.auth.credentials. Normally credentials are only included when isValidis true.
  • exposeRequest - (optional / advanced) If set to true the validateFunction's this will be set to the request. This can be usefull if you have plugins that expose certain functions/objects on the request object and you want to use them in your validateFunction.
