webauth

The Node.js module implements the main mechanisms of web authentication. At the moment webauth supports the following types of authentication:

• NTLM (The implementation of this type uses code written by SamDecrock (node-http-ntlm)
• Basic

How to install

This project is a Node.js module that you can add to your application via the npm packet manager:

npm install webauth

How to use

To authenticate the request to the server, use the auth method:

auth(reqOptions, credentials, callback, [isHttps=false], [res], [method])

• reqOptions - The request options object uses a signature identical to the Node.js http/https request options;
• credentials - The object to which authentication parameters are passed:

{
    username : 'Churkin.Andrey',  // required field 
    password : 'myPass$1',        // required field
    domain : 'CORP',              // is used in the NTLM auth
    workstation: 'CHURKIN-LINUX'  // is used in the NTLM auth
}

• callback - The function that will be called after the authentication;
• isHttps - Set true to use https protocol (false by default);
• res - An optional parameter that you need to pass to the method if you have already received a response from the server with the 401 error;
• method - The authentication type to be used. Possible values are: NTLM, Basic. If this value is not specified, it will be automatically selected based on the following priorities:
  • NTLM
  • Basic

Example

var webauth = require('webauth');

var reqOptions = {
		host: 'localhost',
		headers: {
			'accept-encoding' : 'gzip,deflate,sdch'
		}
	},
	credentials = {
		username: 'Churkin.Andrey',
		password: 'myPass$1',
		domain: 'CORP',
		workstation: 'CHURKIN-LINUX'
	};

webauth.auth(reqOptions, credentials, function(res) {
	console.log(res.statusCode);
});
