222#### Add external auth methods
223
224If you want to add a classic username/email and password auth method (like [LDAP](https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/official-plugins/-/tree/master/peertube-plugin-auth-ldap) for example):
225
226```js
227registerIdAndPassAuth({
228 authName: 'my-auth-method',
229
230 // PeerTube will try all id and pass plugins in the weight DESC order
231 // Exposing this value in the plugin settings could be interesting
232 getWeight: () => 60,
233
234 // Optional function called by PeerTube when the user clicked on the logout button
235 onLogout: user => {
236 console.log('User %s logged out.', user.username')
237 },
238
239 // Optional function called by PeerTube when the access token or refresh token are generated/refreshed
240 hookTokenValidity: ({ token, type }) => {
241 if (type === 'access') return { valid: true }
242 if (type === 'refresh') return { valid: false }
243 },
244
245 // Used by PeerTube when the user tries to authenticate
246 login: ({ id, password }) => {
247 if (id === 'user' && password === 'super password') {
248 return {
249 username: 'user'
250 email: 'user@example.com'
251 role: 2
252 displayName: 'User display name'
253 }

257 return null
258 }
259})
260
261// Unregister this auth method
262unregisterIdAndPassAuth('my-auth-method')
263```
264
265You can also add an external auth method (like [OpenID](https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/official-plugins/-/tree/master/peertube-plugin-auth-openid-connect), [SAML2](https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/official-plugins/-/tree/master/peertube-plugin-auth-saml2) etc):
