Plugin authenticating logged in players to the web interface. Authentication is achieved by a simple challenge response mechanism where players have to log into one of the Factorio server in the cluster and open a dialog that presents a code, this code is input into the login form on the web interface which gives back a second code. Once the player enters the second code into the dialog in-game the web interface is authenticated.

Installation

Run the following commands in the folder Clusterio is installed to:

npm install @clusterio/plugin-player_auth
npx clusteriocontroller plugin add @clusterio/plugin-player_auth

Substitute clusteriocontroller with clusteriohost or clusterioctl if this a dedicate host or ctl installation respectively.

Defaults to 6.

player_auth.code_timeout

Time in seconds the first code generated stays valid. The login must be completed in less than this time starting from when the login dialog is opened in-game.
