This is a fork of Passport. I made it because of lack of maintenence in the original project. Feel free to submit pull requests, etc and I will publish them.

Passport-Persona

Passport strategy for authenticating with Mozilla Persona.

This module lets you authenticate using Mozilla Persona in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Persona authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.

Persona is a fallback Identity Provider for the BrowserID protocol, a distributed login system from Mozilla. This strategy verifies assertions using Mozilla's Remote Verification API. Applications wishing to verify assertions locally should use passport-browserid.

Install

$ npm install persona-pass

Usage

Configure Strategy

The Persona authentication strategy authenticates users using an assertion of email address ownership, obtained via the navigator.id JavaScript API. The strategy requires a verify callback, which accepts an email address and calls done providing a user.

passport.use(new PersonaStrategy({
    audience: 'http://www.example.com'
  },
  function(email, done) {
    User.findByEmail({ email: email }, function (err, user) {
      return done(err, user);
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'persona' strategy, to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.post('/auth/browserid', 
  passport.authenticate('persona', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
  function(req, res) {
    // Successful authentication, redirect home.
    res.redirect('/');
  });

Examples

For a complete, working example, refer to the signin example.
