hapi-auth-local

Lead Maintainer: Steve Tan

A 'local' authentication scheme for Hapi, based on passport-local; Reads in username and password from request body.

Local authentication requires validating a username and password combination. The 'local' scheme takes the following options:

• usernameField - (optional) the name of the username field.
• passwordField - (optional) the name of the password field.
• validateFunc - (required) a user lookup and password validation function with the signature function(request, username, password, callback) where:
  • request - is the hapi request object of the request which is being authenticated.
  • username - the username received from the client.
  • password - the password received from the client.
  • callback - a callback function with the signature function(error, isValid, credentials) where:
    • error - an internal error.
    • isValid - true if both the username was found and the password matched, otherwise false.
    • credentials - a credentials object passed back to the application in request.auth.credentials. Typically, credentials are only included when isValid is true, but there are cases when the application needs to know who tried to authenticate even when it fails (e.g. with authentication mode 'try').
