io.sockets

## One roundtrip
|
||||
|
||||
The previous approach uses a second roundtrip to send the jwt, there is a way you can authenticate on the handshake by sending the JWT as a query string, the caveat is that intermediary HTTP servers can log the url.

## Second method, without querystrings
|
||||
|
||||
The previous approach send the token through querystring which could be logged by intermediary HTTP proxies. This second method doesn't but it requires an extra roundtrip. __Take care with this method to filter unauthenticated sockets when broadcasting.__
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// set authorization for socket.io
|
||||
io.sockets.on('connection', socketioJwt.authorize({
|
||||
secret: 'your secret or public key',
|
||||
timeout: 15000 // 15 seconds to send the authentication message
|
||||
}, function(socket) {
|
||||
//this socket is authenticated, we are good to handle more events from it.
|
||||
console.log('hello! ' + socket.decoded_token.name);
|
||||
}));
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
__Client side__:
|
||||
|
||||
For now the only way to append the jwt token is using query string:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
var socket = io.connect('http://localhost:9000');
|
||||
socket.on('connect', function (socket) {
|
||||
socket
|
||||
.on('authenticated', function () {
|
||||
//do other things
|
||||
})
|
||||
.emit('authenticate', {token: jwt}); //send the jwt
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
