Authenticating with Meteor via DDP (and SRP?)

Question

I can\'t seem to find any good information about how to authenticate a user using Meteor\'s DDP.

Is this possible? If so, what\'s the best way to do it? How can you

Answer 1

A package is now doing the login part adding a loginWithPassowrd method to the DDP connection.

meteor add ongoworks:ddp-login

Then:

// Get the connection
var conn = DDP.connect(Meteor.absoluteUrl());

// Pass the connection to `DDP.loginWithPassword`, which is otherwise similar to
// the core `Meteor.loginWithPassword` method.
DDP.loginWithPassword(conn, {username: 'admin'}, 'admin', function (error) { ... })
