What kind of change does this PR introduce?
Feature
What is the current behavior?
Channels are not secured
What is the new behavior?
Channels are secured by setting SECURE_CHANNELS=true and JWT_SECRET=your-secret
Additional context
By default in development mode everything should still work.
To test out channels auth set
SECURE_CHANNELS=true
andJWT_SECRET
(e.g. secret123). I've been using http://jwtbuilder.jamiekurtz.com to generate JWTs and to play around with expiration and claims.I've been using the next-js example and passing the token param to Socket in realtime/examples/next-js/pages/index.js:
this.socket = new Socket(REALTIME_URL, { params: { token: 'token123' } })
To validate claims set
JWT_CLAIM_VALIDATORS
(e.g. {"iss": "Online JWT Builder", "aud": "www.example.com"}).This addresses issue #95.
