Usage

Electrode OTA authentication is based on HapiJS authenication and BellJS. See https://hapijs.com/tutorials/auth for HapiJS authentication. https://github.com/hapijs/bell

You can define your authentication strategy with the electrode-ota-server-auth module. In this example, we define a validateFunc within the options of the the basic auth. Note you have to convert your config json file to a js file under <root>/config/default.json

module.exports = {
"plugins": {
   "electrode-ota-server-auth": {
      "options": {
         "strategy": {
            "github-oauth": {
               "enable": false
            },
            "basic": {
               "module": "electrode-ota-server-auth-basic",
               "scheme": "basic",
               "options": {
                  "realm": "My Realm",
                  "validateFunc": (request, username, password, callback) => {
                     const err = null;
                     const isValid = true;
                     const provider = "basic-auth";
                     const profile = { email:"[email protected]", displayName:"John Doe", username:"johndoe" };
                     const credentials = { provider, profile };
                     callback(err, isValid, credentials);
                  }
               }
            }
         }
      }
   }
   "electrode-ota-server-routes-auth": {
      options: {
        providers: [
          {
            name: "basic",
            auth: "basic",
            label: "Basic Authentication",
            icon: {
              src: "https://examples.com/myLogo.png",
              height: 50,
              width: 50
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
};

• We disabled github-oauth (the default behavior)
• Then we define options for electrode-ota-server-auth-basic
• In the options, define your validateFunc. Note the credentials matches what BellJS expects.
• Then we override the electrode-ota-server-routes-auth with our basic route. Replace icon with your desired icon. This adds the "Basic Authentication" link to the homepage. This link will authenticate using "basic" strategy defined above.

Then restart the OTA server. If you have an error complaining about github, make sure you have the electrode-ota-server-routes-auth defined, and you disable github-oauth as specified above.

Another method to do the same thing is by creating your own validation module; by overriding electrode-ota-server-auth-validate. Create a new package. Copy the contents of electrode-ota-server-auth-validate package.json and index.js. Modify index.js to add your validation method.

In this example, we added the basic validation function.

const register = diregister.default({
    name: 'ota!validate',
    dependencies: ['ota!account'],
    multiple: false,
    connections: false
}, (options, {validateFunc}) => {

    const token = (name, callback) => validateFunc(name).then(profile => callback(null, true, {
        email: profile.email,
        name
    }), () => callback(null, false));

    // validates existing session
    const session = (request, session, callback) => token(session.token, callback);


    return {
        // name matches "validate" field in "electrode-ota-server-auth" config
        basic(r, username, password, callback){
            // TODO:
            //      validate username, password
           // credentials objects matches hapijs/bell credentials format.
           // {
           //          provider: 'custom',
           //          query: {},
           //          profile: {
           //                         id: '1234567890',
           //                         username: 'steve',
           //                         displayName: 'steve',
           //                         email: '[email protected]'
            //         }
            //   }
            callback(error, isValid, credentials);
        },
        token,
        session
    };
});
module.exports = {register};

In the config, override electrode-ota-server-validate with your custom validate. Provide options as desired.

const root = path.join.bind(path, __dirname, "..");

module.exports = {

   "electrode-ota-server-auth-validate": {
        "module": root("lib/my-custom-auth-validate"),
        "options": {}
   }

}

Then, in the config, use this validate method. Note the basic name matches those defined in your my-custom-auth-validate.
