life_star-auth Build Status

Authentication and authorization for Lively Web servers.

Usage

LivelyKernel/core/lively/localconfig.js

lively.Config.userAuthEnabled = true;
lively.Config.usersFile = "user-db.json";
lively.Config.authRequireLogin = false;

LivelyKernel/user-db.json`

{
  "users": [{"name": "test-user", "email": "", "password": "xxx"}],
  "accessRules": [
    "function(userDB, user, req, callback) { if (user && user.name === 'test-user') callback(null, 'allow'); else callback(null, req.method === 'PUT' ? 'deny' : 'allow'); }"
  ]
}

user-db.json can be modified while the server is running, it will be automatically updated.

accessRules can be functions returning 'allow', 'deny' or a falsy value (undecided) via the callback. If request is denied a 403 response is send.

user objects can have the fields:

  • name : String
  • email : String
  • password : String (optional, will be replaced with a password hash once the server starts! No passwords are stored.)
  • custom fields, whatever makes sense for applications. E.g. a field groups (Array) is used in Lively apps to create rules for several users at once.

User objects are automatically created when a user registers but can be added and modified by changing user-db.json.
