heroku-addon-auth

Middleware for restify to check authentication as per the Heroku Addon specs: basic authentication with username and password stored in addon-manifest.json

Motivation

All calls should be protected by HTTP basic auth with the add-on id and password specified in your add-on manifest. – Heroku Add-on Provider API

Usage

Install with npm

$ npm install --save heroku-addon-auth

Use with restify

options = {
  log : console
};

restify = require('restify');
server = restify.createServer(options);
server.use(restify.authorizationParser());
server.use(require('heroku-addon-auth')(options));

Note that the Authorization Parser needs to be installed before heroku-addon-auth.

Compatibility with Express

restify uses the same Middleware function pattern as expresss, function middleware(req,res,next), which should make it very easily portable to Express and similar servers.

One restify-specific requirement is that the Authorization Parser must be used before calling this module.
