Setup is easy! Add to your package.json and run npm install.

Pass the module:

1. Your app's express instance

   NOTE: Do not call the constructor-function returned by the require() until all of your server's general middleware has been declared.

2. An options object that will pass options used for Express Persona and our SSO integration.

• audience - The URL of your express app when viewed in a browser. Must include the protocol, hostname, and port.
  • Example: http://example.org:80, https://example.org:443
• loginURL - An http address including a user/pass according to the http uri scheme.
  • Exmaple: - http://user:pass@webmakerServer.foo

• verifyResponse - A callback used for custom actions needed for individual apps. It is returned:
  • res - The server response object.
  • data - Contains information useful to determine app specific actions such as: ** email - The email of the Persona Users ** user - An object containing information about this Webmaker user. ** status - Just general information if things didn't fail.

i.e.

var loginHandle = require( "webmaker-loginapi" )( expressApp, {
  loginURL: "http://admin:roflcoptor@login.wm.org",
  audience: "http://example.org:443"
});

Instantiating this module creates the GET /user/:id route in the parent app for use during SSO integration. It exposes the Webmaker username associated with valid persona credentials as req.session.username.

The route will return { status: "okay", user: user } when successful, and { status: "failure", reason: "error message" } when not.

The module returns an object with three methods:

loginHandle.getUserById ( id, callback )

...which retrieves the user model for the passed id, passing the callback the parameters ( errorString, userObject ) and

loginHandle.getUserByEmail ( email, callback )

...which retrieves the user model for the passed email, passing the callback the parameters ( errorString, userObject ) and

loginHandle.getUserByUsername ( username, callback )

...which retrieves the user model for the passed username, passing the callback the parameters ( errorString, userObject ) and

Ensure the grunt and mocha npm modules are installed globally, then run

1. grunt
