How to add custom passport strategy

[abartolo]

Hello,

I've been stuck trying to understand how to add custom passport strategy to the authentication. Looking forward to using Feathers for my new app but in order to move from my old express app I need to get this authentication piece working.

In my current Express App I have the following strategy below...

`
var passport = require('passport');
var jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
var AtlassianCrowdStrategy = require('passport-atlassian-crowd').Strategy;

passport.use(new AtlassianCrowdStrategy({
  crowdServer: "...",
  crowdApplication: "..",
  crowdApplicationPassword: "..",
  retrieveGroupMemberships: true
}, function atlassianCrowdStrategyCustomCallback(userprofile, done) {


  console.log("Inside Crowd Strategy Custom Callback");

  // if user in DB then return user
  // else create user in DB.



  // Return
  return done(null, {
    user: doc.value
  });

}));

`

Is there a way or do I have to create a separate route and hooks?

This is a little tricky in the current version (0.7) but we're just about to wrap up feathersjs-ecosystem/authentication#336 which will make it much easier.

@daffl thanks for the reply. This is a crucial piece for my project so I ended up using express alone since I didn't want to break anything in Feathers.. I've been following up with feathers and looking forward using it in my future project. I read alot of great things on its way.

You can always come back. Feathers is a drop-in replacement for Express (literally replacing require('express') with require('feathers')) so what you did in Express will work with Feathers as well. What feathers-authentication does additionally is to take care of making sure websockets are authenticated the same way.
