Multi Tenant Login

[alexprice1]

We need to authenticate against two fields, username, and companyName, since many companies could have a user with the same username.

Any suggestions? One would be to expose the private method authenticate from the project.

You could use the companyName as prefix to username?

oh your holy lamaness @saintedlama can you please explain a bit more on what you mean by adding a prefix to username?

Do you mean that I should add the companyName/ companyID to the username before saving it into the DB, i.e. usernames will be "[email protected]"/ "[email protected]"? And then my sign in routes will also append the company name to the username input before running it through authentication?

Which mongoose method can I use to append the companyName as a prefix to usernames?

Sorry I'm really new with web development!

@Auggysg See #320 for a solution that automatically prefixes the companyName with the username
