config.JSON example

[raires]

Hi, I'm trying to change my config.JSON to work with ticket instead wampcra wss://release.flatout-technologies.com/router/ can you post the code that you had used on this GIT? Thank you

I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Do you mean on the server or client?

For the client, on https://github.com/voryx/thruway.js/issues/10, davidwdan explains how to authenticate by ticket.

Let me try to explain what is the idea... I want to connect/sign in using my own database to store the users, but I need to connect to crossbar somehow... now I'm using wampcra (static) and that's working fine, but, I can't manipulate users there on the config.json file i.e.: "auth": { "wampcra": { "type": "static", "users": { "joe": { "secret": "userPass", "role": "frontend", "iterations": 1000, "keylen": 20 } } } } //------------------- My understanding is: if I loging into my system using something similar to this example: https://github.com/ngrx/platform/tree/master/example-app and create my user storage on my database, access the crossbar using ticket (dynamic) is the best way! right?

this is the maximum that I get... cannot authenticate using any of the offered authmethods [u'ticket']

You would need a "management"-client that connects and registers an authentication function:

function authenticator(args) {
  var realm = args[0], user = args[1], authData = args[2];
  var ticket = authData.ticket;
  // check if the ticket belongs to the user
  return {
    role: <role the user belongs to>
  };
}

session.register("system.authenticator", authenticator); //AutobahnJs API

To make crossbar use the given authentication function, you'd configure:

"auth": {
  "ticket": {
    "type":"dynamic",
    "authenticator":"system.authenticator"
  }
}

Unless that client is written in python, it needs a separate way to connect. In our case we configured crossbar to open a second, localhost-only socket for that.
