Basic Username/Password Authentication
The local provider is a standard username/password system. Players will call a register function with the Director Frontend, providing the username and password. The provider will create a unique salt for the user and generate a hash using PBKDF2. Both the salt and the hash are stored in the database. By default, we use the currently recommended number of iterations (210000) for PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512.
Configuration
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
auth.local.account-type | A string enum that can be username (default) or email. Server-side validation is used if email is selected to make sure a valid email is provided. |
auth.local.account-verification | A boolean set to false by default; if set to true, the SendGrid integration will be used to send an email for verification. Only works with the email account type. |
auth.local.hash.iterations | The number of iterations to use for the PBKDF2 hashing algorithm; defaults to 210000; only consider decreasing this in development environments for speed. |
auth.local.hash.length | The length of the hash using the SHA algorithm. Defaults to 512. |
