External jwt token authenticator #894

Closed Mallbrusss closed 11 months ago

Mallbrusss commented 11 months ago

We use tinode as a part of social network. And already use external service as authority source for our jwt tokents.

The problem is to support jwt tokens provided from our authority source on tinode.

The only option I found is to develop authentificator like the next, but without token generation, with validation functionality only.

Questions:

  1. Are the mo proper way to solve this case ?
  2. Can authentificator be a part of plugin ?

I'm very impressed by work you done. Thx.

You can use REST auth: https://github.com/tinode/chat/tree/master/server/auth/rest

If you believe it does not work for your use case, please explain why.

No update in while. I assume the issue is resolved. Closing.
