Token authentification

[remisarrailh]

Instead of using a password, the client should mostly use temporary token.
Password will only be used to provided a token to the client.

Token are stored with an expiration date (and ip) into variables.

Token are erased when

• Client asked to be disconnected
• It expires
• The device is unplugged / system restart (a persistant mode could be useful)

Example:

First authentication

• Websocket ask for password
• Client answer with password
• Websocket send token
• Client save token in localStorage (for a given time)

Second authentication

• Websocket ask for password
• Client respond with token
• Websocket check Token association
• Client logged in automatically.

Disconnection

• Client click on disconnect
• Client erase token from localStorage.
• Client send websocket a clear token commands
• Websocket reset token.
