How create custom security

Custom Security

By default, just a basic security is enabled. In order to disable it, change security.enable to false in application.json. Addtionally you can delete npmModule and configModule in application.json

If you need to create a custom security (users in a database ,an external api, oauth, google, etc), basically you just need to create a plugin in form of an npm module with the following interface:

my-custom-security-module

function MyCustomSecurity(expressServer, options) {

  // required method
  this.ensureAuthenticated = function(req, res, next) {
    //put here your custom logic
  }

  //add another functions
}

module.exports = MyCustomSecurity;

Configure it in your application.json:

"npmModule": {
  "name": "my-custom-security-module"
},
"configModule": {
  "param1": "at-field",
  "param_n": "dummy-eva"
}

And add it to your package.json.

configModule will be passed as argument to your plugin. Line 32 in security/SecurityConfigurator.js

Note: You must publish your module in the public npm registry, in github or in your private npm registry. At least option, you could add your code to the geofrontend code.
