# http-auth
[Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) package for HTTP basic and digest access authentication.
[![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.org/http-auth/http-auth.png)](https://travis-ci.org/http-auth/http-auth)
## Installation
Via git (or downloaded tarball):
```bash
$ git clone git://github.com/http-auth/http-auth.git
```
Via [npm](http://npmjs.org/):
```bash
$ npm install http-auth
```
## Basic example
```javascript
// Authentication module.
var auth = require('http-auth');
var basic = auth.basic({
realm: "Simon Area.",
file: __dirname + "/../data/users.htpasswd"
});
// Creating new HTTP server.
http.createServer(basic, (req, res) => {
res.end(`Welcome to private area - ${req.user}!`);
}).listen(1337);
```
## Custom authentication
```javascript
// Authentication module.
var auth = require('http-auth');
var basic = auth.basic({
realm: "Simon Area."
}, (username, password, callback) => {
// Custom authentication
// Use callback(error) if you want to throw async error.
callback(username === "Tina" && password === "Bullock");
}
);
// Creating new HTTP server.
http.createServer(basic, (req, res) => {
res.end(`Welcome to private area - ${req.user}!`);
}).listen(1337);
```
## [express framework](http://expressjs.com/) integration
```javascript
// Authentication module.
var auth = require('http-auth');
var basic = auth.basic({
realm: "Simon Area.",
file: __dirname + "/../data/users.htpasswd"
});
// Application setup.
var app = express();
app.use(auth.connect(basic));
// Setup route.
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send(`Hello from express - ${req.user}!`);
});
```
## [koa framework](http://koajs.com/) integration
```javascript
// Authentication module.
var auth = require('http-auth');
var basic = auth.basic({
realm: "Simon Area.",
file: __dirname + "/../data/users.htpasswd"
});
// Final handler.
app.use(function *(next) {
yield next;
this.body = `Hello from koa - ${this.req.user}!`;
});
// Enable auth.
app.use(auth.koa(basic));
```
## For [koa@next](https://github.com/koajs/koa/tree/v2.x) you can use [http-auth-koa](https://github.com/http-auth/http-auth-koa)
```javascript
// Authentication module.
import auth from 'http-auth'
import koaAuth from 'http-auth-koa'
const basic = auth.basic({
realm: "Simon Area.",
file: __dirname + "/../data/users.htpasswd"
});
// Koa setup.
import Koa from 'koa'
const app = new Koa();
// Setup basic handler.
app.use(async (ctx, next) => {
await next();
ctx.body = `Welcome to koa ${ctx.req.user}!`;
});
// Setup auth.
app.use(koaAuth(basic));
```
## [hapi framework](http://hapijs.com/) integration
```javascript
// Authentication module.
const auth = require('http-auth');
// Setup auth.
const basic = auth.basic({
realm: "Simon Area.",
file: __dirname + "/../data/users.htpasswd"
});
// Create server.
const server = new Hapi.Server();
server.connection({ port: 1337 });
// Register auth plugin.
server.register(auth.hapi());
// Setup strategy.
server.auth.strategy('http-auth', 'http', basic);
// Setup route.
server.route({
method: 'GET',
path: '/',
config: {
auth: 'http-auth',
handler: (request, reply) => {
reply(`Welcome from Hapi - ${request.auth.credentials.name}!`);
}
}
});
```
## Protecting specific path
```javascript
// Authentication module.
var auth = require('http-auth');
var basic = auth.basic({
realm: "Simon Area.",
file: __dirname + "/../data/users.htpasswd"
});
// Application setup.
var app = express();
// Setup route.
app.get('/admin', auth.connect(basic), (req, res) => {
res.send(`Hello from admin area - ${req.user}!`);
});
// Setup route.
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send("Not protected area!");
});
```
## [passport](http://passportjs.org/) integration
```javascript
// Authentication module.
var auth = require('http-auth');
var basic = auth.basic({
realm: "Simon Area.",
file: __dirname + "/../data/users.htpasswd"
});
// Application setup.
var app = express();
// Setup strategy.
var passport = require('passport');
passport.use(auth.passport(basic));
// Setup route.
app.get('/', passport.authenticate('http', {session: false}),
(req, res) => {
res.end(`Welcome to private area - ${req.user}!`);
}
);
```
## [http-proxy](https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy/) integration
```javascript
// Authentication module.
var auth = require('http-auth');
var basic = auth.basic({
realm: "Simon Area.",
file: __dirname + "/../data/users.htpasswd"
});
// Create your proxy server.
httpProxy.createServer(basic, {
target: 'http://localhost:1338'
}).listen(1337);
// Create your target server.
http.createServer((req, res) => {
res.end("Request successfully proxied!");
}).listen(1338);
```
## Events
The auth middleware emits three types of events: **error**, **fail** and **success**. Each event passes the result object (the error in case of `fail`) and the http request `req` to the listener function.
```javascript
// Authentication module.
var auth = require('http-auth');
var basic = auth.basic({
realm: "Simon Area.",
file: __dirname + "/../data/users.htpasswd"
});
basic.on('success', (result, req) => {
console.log(`User authenticated: ${result.user}`);
});
basic.on('fail', (result, req) => {
console.log(`User authentication failed: ${result.user}`);
});
basic.on('error', (error, req) => {
console.log(`Authentication error: ${error.code + " - " + error.message}`);
});
```
## Configurations
- `realm` - Authentication realm, by default it is **Users**.
- `file` - File where user details are stored.
- Line format is **{user:pass}** or **{user:passHash}** for basic access.
- Line format is **{user:realm:passHash}** for digest access.
- `algorithm` - Algorithm that will be used only for **digest** access authentication.
- **MD5** by default.
- **MD5-sess** can be set.
- `qop` - Quality of protection that is used only for **digest** access authentication.
- **auth** is set by default.
- **none** this option is disabling protection.
- `msg401` - Message for failed authentication 401 page.
- `msg407` - Message for failed authentication 407 page.
- `contentType` - Content type for failed authentication page.
- `skipUser` - Set this to **true**, if you don't want req.user to be filled with authentication info.
## Running tests
It uses [mocha](https://mochajs.org/), so just run following command in package directory:
