Passport strategy for authenticating with imap
This module serves the purpose of authenticating a user using email login credentials in Node.js/Sails.js application. This can be unobtrusively integrated with any Node.js application using passport for authentication
$ npm install passport-imap
The imap authentication strategy authenticates users using imap login information. The strategy requires some options like imap host name, port and tls
passport.use(new ImapStrategy({host: 'imap.gmail.com', port : 993, tls : true}));
Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'imap' strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.post('/login',
passport.authenticate('imap', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
function(req, res) {
res.redirect('/');
});
