I am trying to authenticate user ,when i try to login user after successful verification using req.logIn but it doesn't worked
router.post('/login', function(req, res, next) {
passport.authenticate('login',function (cb,data) {
//user verfication success
if(data){
req.logIn({user:"shamon"},function(err,result){
console.log("result",result,err)
res.send('login success');
});
}
})(req,res,next);
});
this console.log("result",result,err) gives me undefined,undefined
when i log req.user after logged i got undefined error
UPDATE
var LocalStrategy = require('passport-local').Strategy
module.exports = function(passport){
passport.use('local',new LocalStrategy({
usernameField: 'email',
passwordField: 'password'
},function (username,password,done) {
console.log('inside passport');
return done(null,true);
}));
passport.serializeUser(function(user, done) {
done(null, user);
});
passport.deserializeUser(function(user, done) {
done(null,user);
});
}
Just grab my implementation of password local-strategy. This is working for sure, but you will need to slightly modify it:
The strategy:
// Serialize
passport.serializeUser(function (user, done) {
done(null, user.id);
});
// Deserialize
passport.deserializeUser(function (id, done) {
User.findById(id, function (err, user) {
done(err, user);
});
});
passport.use('local-login', new LocalStrategy({
// by default, local strategy uses username and password, we will override with email
usernameField : 'email',
passwordField : 'password',
passReqToCallback : true // allows us to pass back the entire request to the callback
},
function(req, email, password, done) { // callback with email and password from our form
// find a user whose email is the same as the forms email
// we are checking to see if the user trying to login already exists
User.findOne({ 'local.email' : email }, function(err, user) {
// if there are any errors, return the error before anything else
if (err)
return done(err);
// if no user is found, return the message
if (!user)
return done(null, false, req.flash('loginError', 'No such user found.')); // req.flash is the way to set flashdata using connect-flash
// if the user is found but the password is wrong
if (!user.validPassword(password))
return done(null, false, req.flash('loginError', 'Oops! Wrong password.')); // create the loginMessage and save it to session as flashd
// all is well, return successful user
return done(null, user);
});
}
));
And the route:
router.post('/login', function(req, res, next) {
passport.authenticate('local-login', function(err, user, info) {
if (err) {
return next(err);
}
if (!user) {
return res.send({alert: req.flash('loginError')});
}
req.logIn(user, function(err) {
if (err) {
return next(err);
}
return res.send({redirect: '/'});
});
})(req, res, next);
});
The below custom call back for passport.js doesn't seems to work, no mater what i do.
app.post('/login', function(req, res, next) {
passport.authenticate('local', function(err, users, info) {
console.log(users);
if (user === false) {
console.log('Failed!');
} else {
res.redirect('/');
}
})(req, res, next);
});
The same if i change it to like below all works as expected.
app.post("/login"
,passport.authenticate('local',{
successRedirect : "/",
failureRedirect : "/login",
})
);
Also I've noticed when using custom callback even the passport.serializeUser and passport.deserializeUser also not getting invoked by passport.js.
Is this any sort of a bug or am i doing something wrong here ??
My Local-Strategy:
passport.use('local-sigin',new LocalStrategy({
// by default, local strategy uses username and password, we will override with email
usernameField : 'email',
passwordField : 'password',
passReqToCallback : true // allows us to pass back the entire request to the callback
},
function(req, email, password, done) { // callback with email and password from our form
console.log('Passport Strategy Sign in:');
// find a user whose email is the same as the forms email
// we are checking to see if the user trying to login already exists
User.findOne({ 'email' : email }, function(err, user) {
// if there are any errors, return the error before anything else
if (err)
return done({status:'ERROR',message:'Something went wrong!'});
// if no user is found, return the message
if (!user)
return done({status:'ERROR',message:'No user found.'}, false);
// if the user is found but the password is wrong
if (!user.validPassword(password))
return done({status:'ERROR',message:'Oops! Wrong password.'}, false);
// all is well, return successful user
return done({status:'OK',message:'Login success.'}, user);
});
}));
I am guessing that by 'doesn't work' you mean to say that the user is never being logged in.
Firstly, your local strategy is named 'local-sigin' however on a POST to '/login' you are invoking the 'local' strategy, which presumably doesn't exist:
passport.use('local', new LocalStrategy({
Change the name of your strategy to be consistent (or vice versa!):
passport.authenticate('local'
Secondly, your 'local' authentication callback has a parameter users (plural) but you are trying to access user (singular) within its body, meaning user is undefined and user === false is false under strict equality:
app.post('/login', function(req, res, next) {
passport.authenticate('local', function(err, user, info) {
// ^^^^
console.log(user);
if (!user) {
console.log('Failed!');
} else {
res.redirect('/');
}
})(req, res, next);
});
And finally, you are never logging the user in when authentication is successful. Creating a session for a user is not automatic, you must call req#login:
Passport exposes a login() function on req (also aliased as logIn()) that can be used to establish a login session.
Let's add that to your authentication callback:
app.post('/login', function(req, res, next) {
passport.authenticate('local', function(err, user, info) {
console.log(user);
if (!user) {
console.log('Failed!');
} else {
req.login(user, function (err) {
if(err) {
console.log(err);
return;
}
res.redirect('/');
});
}
})(req, res, next);
});
Take a look at the Passport docs, they explain in a good amount of detail how these processes work and how to implement them.
Is there any way to allow a user to register on the local strategy with his password, email and name?
Every example I could find online only use name/password or email/password.
I also searched through the the whole passport documentation, but that documentation isn't helpful at all. It's just one bloated site full of examples.
I just need an list of functions, classes and variables passport uses with explanations what they and every parameter of them do. Every good library has something like that, why can't I find it for passport?
Here are the key parts of my code:
passport.use('local-signup', new LocalStrategy({
usernameField: 'email',
passwordField: 'password',
//are there other options?
//emailField did not seem to do anything
passReqToCallback: true // allows us to pass in the req from our route (lets us check if a user is logged in or not)
},
function(req, email, password, done) {
//check if email not already in database
//create new user using "email" and "password"
//I want an additional parameter here "name"
}));
So is passport really that limited? There has to be a way to do this, right?
You can be a little confused but passport doesn't implement signup methods. It's just authorisation library. So you must handle that use-case on your own.
First of all, create route that will be responsible for sign-up and your checks:
signup: function (req, res) {
User
.findOne({
or: [{username: req.param('username')}, {email: req.param('email')}]
})
.then(function(user) {
if (user) return {message: 'User already exists'};
return User.create(req.allParams());
})
.then(res.ok)
.catch(res.negotiate);
}
The example above is based on Sails framework, but you can fit it with no problems to your own case.
Next step is include passport local strategy.
var passport = require('passport');
var LocalStrategy = require('passport-local').Strategy;
var LOCAL_STRATEGY_CONFIG = {
usernameField: 'email',
passwordField: 'password',
session: false,
passReqToCallback: true
};
function _onLocalStrategyAuth(req, email, password, next) {
User
.findOne(or: [{email: email}, {username: email}])
.then(function (user) {
if (!user) return next(null, null, {
code: 'E_USER_NOT_FOUND',
message: email + ' is not found',
status: 401
});
if (!HashService.bcrypt.compareSync(password, user.password)) return next(null, null, {
code: 'E_WRONG_PASSWORD',
message: 'Password is wrong',
status: 401
});
return next(null, user, {});
})
.catch(next);
}
passport.use(new LocalStrategy(LOCAL_STRATEGY_CONFIG), _onLocalStrategyAuth));
We have only signin task now. It's simple.
signin: function(req, res) {
passport.authenticate('local', function(error, user, info) {
if (error || !user) return res.negotiate(Object.assign(error, info));
return res.ok(user);
})(req, res);
}
This way is more suitable for passport and works great for me.
Say you have this
app.post('/login', urlencodedParser,
// so, user has been to /loginpage and clicked submit.
// /loginpage has a post form that goes to "/login".
// hence you arrive here.
passport.authenticate('my-simple-login-strategy', {
failureRedirect: '/loginagain'
}),
function(req, res) {
console.log("you are in ............")
res.redirect('/stuff');
});
Note that the .authenticate has an explicit tag.
The tags is 'my-simple-login-strategy'
That means you have this ...
passport.use(
'my-simple-login-strategy',
// !!!!!!!!!!!!!note!!!!!!!!!!, the DEFAULT there (if you have nothing)
// is 'local'. A good example of defaults being silly :/
new Strategy(
STRAT_CONFIG,
function(email, password, cb) {
// must return cb(null, false) or cb(null, the_user_struct) or cb(err)
db.findUserByEmailPass(email, password, function(err, userFoundByDB) {
if (err) { return cb(err); }
if (!userFoundByDB) { return cb(null, false); }
console.log('... ' + JSON.stringify(userFoundByDB) )
return cb(null, userFoundByDB)
})
}
)
)
!!! !!! NOTE THAT 'local' IS JUST THE DEFAULT TAG NAME !!! !!!
In passport.use, we always put in an explicit tag. It is much clearer if you do so. Put in an explicit tag in the strategy and in the app.post when you use the strategy.
So that's my-simple-login-strategy.
What is the actual db.findUserByEmailPass sql function?
We'll come back to that!
So we have my-simple-login-strategy
Next ...... we need my-simple-createaccount-strategy
Note that we are still sneakily using passport.authenticate:
So:
the strategy my-simple-createaccount-strategy will actually make an account.
However .............
you should still return a struct.
Note that my-simple-login-strategy has to return a struct.
So, my-simple-createaccount-strategy also has to return a struct - in exactly the same way.
app.post('/createaccount', urlencodedParser,
// so, user has been to /createanaccountform and clicked submit,
// that sends a post to /createaccount. So we are here:
passport.authenticate('my-simple-createaccount-strategy', {
failureRedirect: '/loginagain'
}),
function(req, res) {
console.log("you are in ............")
res.redirect('/stuff');
});
And here's the strategy ..........
passport.use(
'my-simple-createaccount-strategy',
new Strategy(
STRAT_CONFIG,
function(email, password, cb) {
// return cb(null, false), or cb(null, the_user_struct) or cb(err)
db.simpleCreate(email, password, function(err, trueOrFalse) {
if (err) { return cb(err); }
if (!trueOrFalse) { return cb(null, false); }
return cb(null, trueOrFalse)
})
}
)
)
The strategy is pretty much the same. But the db call is different.
So now let's look at the db calls.
Let's look at the db calls!
The ordinary db call for the ordinary strategy is going to look like this:
exports.findUserByEmailPass = function(email, password, cb) {
// return the struct or false via the callback
dc.query(
'select * from users where email = ? and password = ?',
[email, password],
(error, users, fields) => {
if (error) { throw error } // or something like cb(new Error('blah'));
cb(null, (users.length == 1) ? users[0] : false)
})
}
So that's exports.findUserByEmailPass, which is used by my-simple-login-strategy.
But what about exports.simpleCreate for my-simple-createaccount-strategy?
A simple toy version would
check if the username exists already - return false at this point if it does exist already, then
create it, and then
actually just return the record again.
Recall that (3) is just like in the ordinary "find" call.
Remember ... the strategy my-simple-createaccount-strategy will actually make an account. But you should still return a struct in the same way as your ordinary authenticate strategy, my-simple-login-strategy.
So exports.simpleCreate is a simple chain of three calls:
exports.simpleCreate = function(email, password, cb) {
// check if exists; insert; re-select and return it
dc.query(
'select * from users where email = ?', [email],
(error, users, fields) => {
if (error) { throw error } // or something like cb(new Error('blah'));
if (users.length > 0) {
return cb(null, false)
}
else {
return partTwo(email, password, cb)
}
})
}
partTwo = function(email, password, cb) {
dc.query(
'insert into users (email, password) values (?, ?)', [email, password],
(error, users, fields) => {
if (error) { throw error } // or something like cb(new Error('blah'));
partThree(email, password, cb)
})
}
partThree = function(email, password, cb) {
dc.query(
'select * from users where email = ? and password = ?', [email, password],
(error, users, fields) => {
if (error) { throw error } // or something like cb(new Error('blah'));
cb(null, (users.length == 1) ? users[0] : false)
})
}
And that all works.
But note that
passport has nothing to do with account creation!
In fact, you do not have to use a strategy at all.
In app.post('/createaccount' you can, if you wish, do nothing with passport.authenticate ... don't even mention it in the code. Don't use authenticate at all. Just go ahead and do the sql process of inserting a new user, right there in app.post.
However, if you "trickily" use a passport strategy - my-simple-createaccount-strategy in the example - you have the bonus that the user is then immediately logged-in with a session and everything works in the same pattern as the login post. Cool.
Here is what worked for me, the solution is based on a mongoose based odm, the first part is the passport related part, I also attached the user part from odm to who how the encryption of the password is done.
If I understood your question, you want the user to type either his email or password. In this case modify the search to try both, that is, match the provided user identifier (in your call to findOne(...) with either the username or password.
Note that I use bcrypt to avoid storing clear passwords, that's why there is a customized compare method for testing passwords. Also note 'hints' of using google auth as well, My system enabled both, if it is relevant, please lemme know and I can add the required code.

This has actually nothing to do with passport and is pretty simple, assuming you are using body-parser. Make sure you have an input field in your form with the attribute name="name" where you register the user's name like:
<div class="form-group">
<label for="signup-name">Name</label>
<input type="text" placeholder="Name" name="name">
</div>
In your routing, you can access this field with req.body.name:
passport.use('local-signup', new LocalStrategy({
usernameField: 'email',
passwordField: 'password',
//are there other options?
//emailField did not seem to do anything
passReqToCallback: true
},
function(req, email, password, done) {
//check if email not already in database
//create new user using "email" and "password"
//I want an additional parameter here "name"
user.email = email;
user.password = password; // Do some hashing before storing
user.name = req.body.name;
}));
So you can add as many form input fields as you want, access them by the value of the name attribute. A Second example would be:
<input type="text" placeholder="City" name="city">
<input type="text" placeholder="Country" name="country">
// Access them by
user.city = req.body.city;
user.country = req.body.country;
UserModel.find({email: req.body.email}, function(err, user){
if(err){
res.redirect('/your sign up page');
} else {
if(user.length > 0){
res.redirect('/again your sign up page');
} else{
//YOUR REGISTRATION CODES HERE
}
}
})
In strategy options set the passReqToCallback:true and then add req as parameter into your callback function. Finally, read the extra information from req.body object for example req.body.firstName
const signup = new Strategy({
usernameField: "username",
passwordField: "password",
passReqToCallback:true
}, async (req, username, password, done) => {
try {
const user = User.create();
user.username = username;
user.password = password;
user.firstName = req.body.firstName;
user.lastName = req.body.lastName
await user.save()
return done(null, user);
} catch (error) {
return done(error, null);
}
});
I just looking for solution which makes verification email with token for my local autentification in passport.js
Is there some plugin or component for node which can make me verification easyer? Or I have to do it myself?
My controller
exports.postSignup = function(req, res, next) {
req.assert('email', 'Email is not valid').isEmail();
req.assert('password', 'Password must be at least 4 characters long').len(4);
req.assert('confirmPassword', 'Passwords do not match').equals(req.body.password);
var errors = req.validationErrors();
if (errors) {
req.flash('errors', errors);
return res.redirect('/signup');
}
var user = User.build({
email: req.body.email,
password: req.body.password,
});
User
.find({ where: { email: req.body.email } })
.then(function(existingUser){
if (existingUser) {
req.flash('errors', { msg: 'Account with that email address already exists.' });
return res.redirect('/signup');
}
user
.save()
.complete(function(err){
if (err) return next(err);
req.logIn(user, function(err){
if (err) return next(err);
res.redirect('/');
});
});
}).catch(function(err){
return next(err);
});
};
Thanks for any opinion!
Implementing this yourself is pretty straightforward.
The pseudocode:
//A user registers
//User is stored along with a random token string and a variable set to false
//User is sent a verification email
//Verification email has a link with the random token and a unique ID for that user
//Link goes to a route that takes the token as a parameter
//Match the user and the random token
//If they match - change a variable to verified
The package I use to generage the random string is:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/randomstring
Local signup strategy
passport.use('local-signup', new LocalStrategy({
// by default, local strategy uses username and password, we will override with email
usernameField: 'email',
passwordField: 'password',
passReqToCallback: true // allows us to pass back the entire request to the callback
},
function (req, email, password, done) {
// asynchronous
// User.findOne wont fire unless data is sent back
process.nextTick(function () {
// find a user whose email is the same as the forms email
// we are checking to see if the user trying to login already exists
User.findOne({'local.email': email}, function (err, user) {
// if there are any errors, return the error
if (err) {
return done(err);
}
// check to see if theres already a user with that email
if (user) {
console.log('that email exists');
return done(null, false, req.flash('signupMessage', email + ' is already in use. '));
} else {
User.findOne({'local.username': req.body.username}, function (err, user) {
if (user) {
console.log('That username exists');
return done(null, false, req.flash('signupMessage', 'That username is already taken.'));
}
if (req.body.password != req.body.confirm_password) {
console.log('Passwords do not match');
return done(null, false, req.flash('signupMessage', 'Your passwords do not match'));
}
else {
// create the user
var newUser = new User();
var permalink = req.body.username.toLowerCase().replace(' ', '').replace(/[^\w\s]/gi, '').trim();
var verification_token = randomstring.generate({
length: 64
});
newUser.local.email = email;
newUser.local.password = newUser.generateHash(password);
newUser.local.permalink = permalink;
//Verified will get turned to true when they verify email address
newUser.local.verified = false;
newUser.local.verify_token = verification_token;
try {
newUser.save(function (err) {
if (err) {
throw err;
} else {
VerifyEmail.sendverification(email, verification_token, permalink);
return done(null, newUser);
}
});
} catch (err) {
}
}
});
}
});
});
}));
I use a combination of /permalink/random-token for the verification URL
The route should look like this:
app.get('/verify/:permaink/:token', function (req, res) {
var permalink = req.params.permaink;
var token = req.params.token;
User.findOne({'local.permalink': permalink}, function (err, user) {
if (user.local.verify_token == token) {
console.log('that token is correct! Verify the user');
User.findOneAndUpdate({'local.permalink': permalink}, {'local.verified': true}, function (err, resp) {
console.log('The user has been verified!');
});
res.redirect('/login');
} else {
console.log('The token is wrong! Reject the user. token should be: ' + user.local.verify_token);
}
});
});
