Github Oauth authentication

Core Development
1

I am trying to use GitHub to authenticate users in node-red, I tried following the documentation, but there is not a lot of info.

I created a file named user-authentication.js, copied the OAuth strategy, and in setings.js I added adminAuth: require("./user-authentication"),
After trying to start node-red I get an error:

$ node-red
Error loading settings file: /home/nemanja/.node-red/settings.js
/home/nemanja/.node-red/user-authentication.js:3
    strategy: {
            ^

Am I doing something wrong ? I can`t find any good info on how it should be implemented...

If you want to move some settings out to another file and then include them with a require statement, then that other file needs to be a node module. In other words it needs to look something like:


module.exports = {
   type:"strategy",
   strategy: {
    ...
   }
}

My guess is you haven't got the module.exports= bit at the start of your file.

Node-Red started, but I am stuck at the login page seeing nothing, take a look...

The console doesn't show any error...
Should I edit something in settings file?

Here is my user-authentication file...

module.exports = {
adminAuth: {
    type:"strategy",
    strategy: {
        name: "twitter",
        label: 'Sign in with Twitter',
        icon:"fa-twitter",
        strategy: require("passport-twitter").Strategy,
        options: {
            consumerKey: 'Iv1.2XXXXXXXb5f',
            consumerSecret: 'bfceXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXa31604ff',
            callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:1880/auth/strategy/callback",
            verify: function(token, tokenSecret, profile, done) {
                done(null, profile);
            }
        },
    },
    users: [
       { username: "knolleary",permissions: ["*"]}
    ]
}
};

If you have got:

adminAuth: require("./user-authentication")

in your main settings file, then you don't want to repeat the adminAuth bit in your user auth file. It should be:

module.exports = {
   type: "strategy",
   ...
}

After removing the adminAuth node-red trows a different error

I am sorry to bother you with this stupid question, but I want to learn how to do it properly.
