Mediahead Token

Mediahead Token is meant to create Authorization between our own Applications.

With this Library we can generate a Token on Server 1 and verify it on Server 2.

Configuration

There are three Environement Variables, which can be set:

• MEDIAHEAD_TOKEN_SECRET - Set the Secret. It has to be the same on every Application, otherwise this won't validate.
• MEDIAHEAD_TOKEN_MAXAGE - Set the Max Age of a Token in seconds. Defaults to 60 seconds.
• MEDIAHEAD_TOKEN_IDENTIFIER - Default Identifier for Token generation.

Instalation

Install the Package

$ npm install [e-mail]:mediahed/mediahead-token.git --save

In your Code

var token = require('mediahead-token');

Usage

Generate a new Token

// If you don't have MEDIAHEAD_TOKEN_IDENTIFIER set
var generatedToken = token.createToken('identifier');
// else
var generatedToken = token.createToken();

Validate a Token

var tokenToValidate = new Token('$token$4123412$dfahdafhgdafg$');
var valid = tokenToValidate.validate();
