I am trying out node_acl with passport-local. When I run my code I cannot secure the route for the admin-user '/admin' and I am redirected to the /login page.
Find below my minimum runnable example:
require('dotenv').config()
const express = require('express')
// const fs = require('fs')
const path = require('path')
const logger = require('morgan')
const bodyParser = require('body-parser')
const cookieParser = require('cookie-parser')
const session = require('express-session')
const passport = require('passport')
const LocalStrategy = require('passport-local').Strategy
const ACL = require('acl')
// load user.json file
// const d = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, '/../data/user.json'))
// const userObj = JSON.parse(d)
const userObj = [{
id: 1,
username: 'admin',
password: 'admin',
email: '[email protected]',
role: 'admin',
},
{
id: 2,
username: 'user',
password: 'user',
email: '[email protected]',
role: 'user',
},
]
const app = express()
// view engine setup
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'))
app.set('view engine', 'pug')
app.use(logger(process.env.LOG_ENV))
app.use(bodyParser.json())
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
extended: false,
}))
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, '/../public')))
app.use(cookieParser())
app.use(session({
secret: 'super-mega-hyper-secret',
resave: false,
saveUninitialized: false,
}))
/**
* Passport Local
*/
app.use(passport.initialize())
app.use(passport.session())
function authenticate() {
passport.serializeUser((user, done) => {
done(null, user.id)
})
passport.deserializeUser(async(id, done) => {
// const user = await serviceAuth.findById(id)
const user = userObj.find(item => item.id === id)
done(null, user)
})
// Sign in with username and Password
passport.use('local', new LocalStrategy({
usernameField: 'username',
}, async(username, password, done) => {
const user = userObj.find(item => item.username === username)
done(null, user)
}))
}
const isAuthenticated = (req, res, next) => {
if (req.isAuthenticated()) {
res.locals.user = req.session.user
return next()
}
res.redirect('login')
}
authenticate()
/**
* Node ACL
*/
function accessControl() {
const nodeAcl = new ACL(new ACL.memoryBackend())
nodeAcl.allow([{
roles: 'admin',
allows: [{
resources: '/admin',
permissions: '*',
}],
}, {
roles: 'user',
allows: [{
resources: '/dashboard',
permissions: 'get',
}],
}, {
roles: 'guest',
allows: [],
}])
// Inherit roles
// Every user is allowed to do what guests do
// Every admin is allowed to do what users do
nodeAcl.addRoleParents('user', 'guest')
nodeAcl.addRoleParents('admin', 'user')
nodeAcl.addUserRoles(1, 'admin')
nodeAcl.addUserRoles(2, 'user')
nodeAcl.addUserRoles(0, 'guest')
return nodeAcl
}
/*

if (result) {
next()

// Start Server
const port = process.env.APP_PORT || 8080
const host = process.env.APP_URL || 'localhost'
app.listen(port, host, () => {

Any suggestions why the route, /admin cannot be called only be the admin user?
Thank you in advance for your replies!
/statusroute returns to you when you are logged in with user. After some test i gotHttpError: Insufficient permissions to access resourcewhen i tried to hit/adminlogged in as user – Instrument
