A simple application that manages users with passport and KrakenJS I have used the respository https://github.com/krakenjs/kraken-example-with-passport. But too many things were not working for me. So, i had to make my own respository for mysql database. This application is just a login and log out system. I have intentionally kept it simple because an experienced developer can figure out the rest.
In many cases you'll need to manage users in your application. Here's a simple application that will show you how to use passport.js with mysql database.
This example highlights the following things:
- Using passport.js to handle user authentication.
- Using a mysql model to represent user data.
- Using bcrypt to securely hash and salt user passwords before storing them in a database.
- Storing credentials in a Mysql database.
- Modifying elements of the user interface based on logged in/logged out user status.
- Registering Kraken middleware via the JSON configuration files.
- This example requires that [Mysql] be installed and be running on its default port.
- You will -- of course -- need Node (Version >= 0.10.22 preferred)
- For Windows machines, Visual Studio is required to compile some of the dependencies. The free Visual Studio Express version is sufficient. https://www.visualstudio.com/products/visual-studio-express-vs
- Import the database from kraken-passport.sql to your mysql database.
Clone, install and run.
git clone https://github.com/krakenjs/kraken-example-with-passport.git
cd kraken-example-with-passport
npm install
npm startVisit http://localhost:8000/login
In will show the login form. Please use the following credential:
username: admin password: passw0rd
After login you will be redirected to http://localhost:8000/profile. And then click the logout button. That's it.
I could make too many features like roles, protected resources. But right now i am really lazy to do it.
