I have an API eg. http://www.myportal.com/login and when we call this URL it asks for username and password and after successful login, it returns an access token.

Same thing I have to implement in Loopback4 by calling the above URL.

Please give some idea, will appreciate your help.

Based on your question, what you need to do is do authentication using passport-local strategy and then create a jwt token with authenticated user obtained.

But to do this, you will need to create a separate component with decorators and providers in loopback4. Loopback 4 team is working on ways to provide such features out of the box in the framework. But its not there yet.

We created a loopback extension for the same which supports 4 different passport strategies. You can use that from here. Hope it helps.

  • Yes Samy you are right. Actually i was doing it through REST connector but due to LB4 limitation i have changed my approach done it through http-request and axios module. Thanks you your reply :) – Ranjeet May 17 '19 at 07:34
