Custom authentication

Implementing custom authentication and authorization strategies was documented in a post on our blog.

In addition to that, our GitHub integration is open source and available on GitHub.

To enable a custom authentication strategy:

1. on your npm On-Site server, install the plugin in /usr/local/lib/npme/data
2. visit your npm On-Site server's admin console (http://myreg.mycompany.com:8800).
3. choose Custom authentication.
4. for authentication, authorization, and session provide the path to the plugin you've installed, e.g, /etc/npme/data/node_modules/my-custom-plugin
