Nymph Nephele Authenticator

A Nephele authenticator that uses Nymph.js (with Tilmeld) to authenticate users.

Installation

npm i -s @nephele/authenticator-nymph

Usage

The default export is the authenticator, and it's also a named export "Authenticator". Instantiate this class, providing an options object, and give that to Nephele as the authenticator.

import express from 'express';
import nepheleServer from 'nephele';
import ExampleAdapter from '@nephele/adapter-example';
import NymphAuthenticator, { User } from '@nephele/authenticator-nymph';

const app = express();
const port = 8080;

app.use(
  '/',
  nepheleServer({
    adapter: new ExampleAdapter(),
    authenticator: new NymphAuthenticator({
      nymph: myNymphInstance,
      realm: 'My WebDAV Server',
    }),
  }),
);

app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`Nephele WebDAV server listening on port ${port}`);
});

One important note is that this authenticator merely authenticates the Nephele request. It does not fill the user session on the Tilmeld instance.

Options / Defaults

• realm = 'Nephele WebDAV Service': The realm is the name reported by the server when the user is prompted to authenticate.
• nymph: The instance of Nymph that will authenticate the users. This must have Tilmeld loaded.
