Usage

Configure Strategy

The local authentication strategy authenticates users using a username and password. The strategy requires a verify callback, which accepts these credentials and calls done providing a user.

var BypassStrategy = require("bypass-passport-strategy").Strategy;

passport.use(new BypassStrategy({server: 'http://where-my-auth-is'}));

Authenticate Requests

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

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.post('/login',
  passport.authenticate('bypasstoken'),
  function(req, res) {
    res.redirect('/');
  });
