passhash-auth
Module to be used to read in hashed passwords generated by passhash. This can be used as a replacement for htpasswd for web apps or easy authentication for standalone apps.
Usage
npm install passhash-auth
then
var PasshashAuth =var auth = './passhashauth.txt';
Functions
new PasshashAuth(databaseFileName)
Return a new object that can be used to authenticate usernames against the database given
The file should contain lines using the default output format of passhash
. For reference:
{username}:{salt}:{hash}:{iterations}
.isUser(username)
Checks if a given username
is valid. Returns a boolean.
.checkHashMatch(username, password)
Checks if the given username
and password
are valid. Returns a boolean.
Example
For this example we will assume the user name and password were obtained from a secure source such as a SSL socket. Due to the checkHashMatch
function returning a boolean, you can have it execute anything you want depending on the return value. For our example it will print to stdout either match
or nonmatch
.
var PasshashAuth = ;var auth = __dirname + '/test_auth';var user1 = 'test';var pass1 = 'correctPassword';if authconsole;elseconsole;
This outputs:
match
