Express NYMag User

Volunteering user information for internal use. This is not authentication; It just looks for a plain-text, unsigned cookie that contains a username and LDAP groups.

Domain can be set in the options, or with environment variables like:

export BLOCK_DOMAIN=your_domain1.biz,your_domain1.biz

NOTE: Use with care. It's the same as user's volunteering their own username, and is not auth. Temporary until OAuth.

Usage

const express = require('express'),
  app = express(),
  expressNYMagUser = require('@nymdev/express-nymag-user'),
  authServer = 'http://some_auth_server/login?redirect_to=';

app.use(expressNYMagUser({
  blockDomains: ['your_domain.biz'],
  redirectTo: function (originalUrl) {
    return authServer + encodeURIComponent(originalUrl);
  },
  isProtected: function (req) {
    return !!req.query.edit;
  }
}));

Installation

npm install --save @nymdev/express-nymag-auth
