Node-red begin a session

[ernon...@yahoo.fr]

Hello,

I'm trying to implement some few pages using Node-red "http in" node, and so on ..
Basic looks easy ; and I would like to protect some pages using password + sessions.

I have tried several nodeJs toolbox but was unable to have the session working correctly:
'msg.req' never contains the msg.req.session, so I think I have missed something.

I have tried to instanciate express-session, and also passportJs, but still can't have a session working.

What do you suggest? I can see many tutorials but mostly related to node+express, and not directly to Node-RED.

Thanks.

Hi,

we currently only support basic authentication by providing a username/password under the httpNodeAuth property in settings.js.

However, if you embed node-red within another node.js application, you have control over what middleware gets applied to the RED.httpNode express application.

Whilst it doesn't cover http sessions, the basic outline of embedding node-red is here: http://nodered.org/docs/embedding.html

Thank you for your feedback.

Here is how I have manage my goal:

 1. A new header to setCookie based on the user-agent + some other header parameters
 2. I store each session on node-red
 3. Then, I read cookies using msg.req.headers.cookie.cookieName

I think it's not the best solution but I can achieve my goal to have some page behind a login/password


 

msg.headers["Set-Cookie"]

msg.headers["Set-Cookie"]

msg.headers["Set-Cookie"]

msg.headers["Set-Cookie"]

msg.headers["Set-Cookie"]
