Extend / Override Protocol

[dottodot]

I'm wanting to make some changes to the way the local protocol works in particular the login but can't work it out. In my app api > services > protocols > local.js I would have assumed something like the following would have giving me the ability to override it but it doesn't do anything

var _ = require('lodash');
var _super = require('sails-permissions/api/services/protocols/local');

function protocols () { }

protocols.prototype = Object.create(_super);
_.extend(protocols.prototype, {

  login: function (req, identifier, password, next) {
    console.log(req);
  }

});

module.exports = new protocols();

I would also like to see this added. I've dug through the code now for a few hours and as far as I can tell there actually isn't a way to add any other passport strategies than the ones supported by the plugin. The "et al" in the docs is overstated.

The issue is that all passport strategies require a callback.

• The options passed in must be an object. This means setting options: function(){} does not work in config.
• The second argument passed to new strategies is the protocol

While you can define the protocol to use it seems impossible to change the services protocol at runtime before the strategy is instantiated but after the config is loaded.

I have the same problem.
