I am newbie to the node.js world. I am using passportjs library for authenticating the user with api key. What I am trying to do is that along with api key. I also want to check the host name of the request.
app.post('/api/authenticate',
passport.authenticate('localapikey'),//passport module method to authenticate the api key
function(req, res) {
console.log('Authenticated');
});
I don't know how passportjs calling the below function. But it definitely calling the function after a post request is coming to the path '/api/authenticate'. I also want to access the req.host in the below function.
passport.use(new LocalStrategy(
function(apikey, done) {
console.log(req.host);
}
Is it possible? Any insight into this would highly be appreciated. Thank you.
Use the passReqToCallback option. See the bottom of this page for details:
You must update your code like this:
passport.use(new LocalStrategy({
passReqToCallback: true
},
function(req, apikey, done) {
console.log(req.host);
}
));
