Is it possible to authorize on a remote server

[mbouclas]

Ideally i would like to override the default flow that tries to login the user in the local instance and have it done elsewhere. The idea is to validate the login to another non loopback server and return the outcome to loopback. I've so far made all the way to the part that the password needs to be validated, in userLogin function which is done in 2 parts, which is killing it for me.

 function userLogin(username, password, done) {
    debug('userLogin: %s', username);
    models.users.findByUsernameOrEmail(username, function(err, user) {

      if (err) {
        return done(err);
      }
      if (!user) {
        return done(null, false);
      }

      user.hasPassword(password, function(err, matched) {
        if (err || !matched) {
          return done(err, false);
        }
        done(null, user);
      });
    });
  }

I managed to override models.users.findByUsernameOrEmail with my own implementation which requests info from the remote server, but then i need ti verify the password...

There must be a much simpler way, right?
