Authentication
Enable the desired authentication method(s) and manage your users:
To connect to your database, you must enable at least one authentication method. Follow the next steps to achieve this:
Click on Build then select Authentication
Click on Get started
Select one of the following methods to enable it:
- Anonymous
- Email and Password
Only the methods listed on this page are supported by this module! If you want to use another method, you can submit a new feature request here. Your maintainer will take a look 😉
This method will generate a random UID every session. It is therefore complicated to restrict access to an anonymous user based on the UID.
To add a user, you have two options:
- Firebase Console
Go to the Users tab and click on Add user
Enter the email address and the password then click on Add user
Note
Keep your credentials because you will have to enter them in the config-node.
Caution
Disable "Protection against email enumeration" in "Users Action" in "Parameters" (for v < 0.6).
- Node-RED
Enter the email address and the password then click on Create a new user (see config-node)
Note: email addresses can be fictitious but if you want to use double factor, you must have a valid email address (double factor is on the TODO list).
Click on Settings then select the Service accounts tab and finally click on Generate new private key at the bottom of the page.
To create a Custom Token, you will need a Private Key (see point above) to sign the Token.
You can manage your users from the Users tab, such as password reset, disable account, delete account...
