Custom authentication example for node hapi library Just an example of simplest possible custom authentication to build on. The slightly limited documentation is available here: http://spumko.github.io/resource/api/#server-auth-name--options-

auth.js

// Hapi Custom auth
// ===========

// ## /lib/auth.js

var internals = {};
var Hapi = require('hapi');

exports = module.exports = internals.Scheme = function (server, options) {};

internals.Scheme.prototype.authenticate = function (request, callback) {
  if (request.query.token === 'PASSWORD') {
    return callback(null, 'Authed');
  }

  callback(Hapi.error.unauthorized('No auth'), []);
};

// ## index.js

var server = new Hapi.Server(
  interface,
  port
);

var Auth = require('./lib/auth');

server.auth('myAuth', {
  implementation: new Auth(server, {})
});

var routes = [
  {
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/auth',
    config: {
      handler: function (request) {
        request.reply({message:"Auth works"});
      },
      auth: {
        strategies: ['myAuth']
      }
