sinopia-memory

This sinopia auth plugin keeps the users in a memory plain object. This means all sessions and users will disappear when you restart the sinopia server.

This plugin is used with external authentication (in my case GitHub Oauth). This means that it doesn't matter if users are deleted at rebooting because once the oauth callback is complete the user/token is recreated.

If you want to use this piece of software, do it at your own risk.

Installation

$ npm install sinopia
$ npm install sinopia-memory

Config

Add to your config.yaml:

auth:
  memory: true

For plugin writers

It's called as:

require('sinopia-memory')(config, stuff)

Where:

• config - module's own config
• stuff - collection of different internal sinopia objects
  • stuff.config - main config
  • stuff.logger - logger

This should export two functions:

• adduser(user, password, cb)

  It should respond with:

  • cb(err) in case of an error (error will be returned to user)
  • cb(null, false) in case registration is disabled (next auth plugin will be executed)
  • cb(null, true) in case user registered successfully

  It's useful to set err.status property to set http status code (e.g. err.status = 403).

• authenticate(user, password, cb)

  It should respond with:

  • cb(err) in case of a fatal error (error will be returned to user, keep those rare)
  • cb(null, false) in case user not authenticated (next auth plugin will be executed)
  • cb(null, [groups]) in case user is authenticated

  Groups is an array of all users/usergroups this user has access to. You should probably include username itself here.
