node-red-auth-pam

Provides an authentication mechanism for NodeRED based on PAM on Linux

Installing

This requires authenitcate-pam, that requires PAM headers for compilation. Install the package libpam0g-dev with your favorite package manager. On Debian-based distros:

 sudo apt-get install libpam0g-dev

Then install this package on the folder your settings.js is located, typically ~/.node-red, by running

 npm install node-red-auth-pam

Usage

Just require the module and call the returning function, setting the result to adminAuth, as the example below:

// ...
//    }]
//},
adminAuth: require('node-red-auth-pam')(
{ users: [
	{ username: "admin", permissions:"*" },
	{ username: "user", permissions: "read" }
]}),
// To password protect the node-defined HTTP endpoints (httpNodeRoot), or
// the static content (httpStatic), the following properties can be used.
// ...

Limitations

• Usermap and linux PAM user need to be aligned
