const auth = require('@acastellon/auth')(def_auth);
In case of Authentication based in NTLM (normally is related to the Server Web FrontEnd), use:.
auth.setNTLMAuth(app);
In case of Authentication based in JWT use:
auth.validateToken(app);
Uses an internal cache to avoid continues queries to the LDAP server.
@TODO: update the cache when throws the expiration of the token.
Values in Header created:
x-access-token - JWT generated
is-authenticated - a flag if it was validated already for ldap
auth-user - name of the user validated
Note: In order to increase the Security (if it's required) we could use the following techniques:
all in order that practically every request contain a new token (but this tech. decrease the performance)
