Question Passport Steam login and steamcommunity

[spenser_l]

I was wondering if it is possible to use Passport/OpenID for login validation and then transfer the session over to use the node-steamcommunity function calls. 

 

Currently I want to be able to post comments on user profiles, and the following works:

var SteamCommunity = require('steamcommunity');
var ReadLine = require('readline');
var fs = require('fs');

var community = new SteamCommunity();
var rl = ReadLine.createInterface({
	"input": process.stdin,
	"output": process.stdout
});

rl.question("Username: ", function(accountName) {
	rl.question("Password: ", function(password) {
		doLogin(accountName, password);
	});
});

function doLogin(accountName, password, authCode, twoFactorCode, captcha) {
	community.login({
		"accountName": accountName,
		"password": password,
		"authCode": authCode,
		"twoFactorCode": twoFactorCode,
		"captcha": captcha
	}, function(err, sessionID, cookies, steamguard) {
		if(err) {
			if(err.message == 'SteamGuardMobile') {
				rl.question("Steam Authenticator Code: ", function(code) {
					doLogin(accountName, password, null, code);
				});
				return;
			}
			if(err.message == 'SteamGuard') {
				console.log("An email has been sent to your address at " + err.emaildomain);
				rl.question("Steam Guard Code: ", function(code) {
					doLogin(accountName, password, code);
				});
				return;
			}
			if(err.message == 'CAPTCHA') {
				console.log(err.captchaurl);
				rl.question("CAPTCHA: ", function(captchaInput) {
					doLogin(accountName, password, authCode, twoFactorCode, captchaInput);
				});
				return;
			}

			console.log(err);
			process.exit();
			return;
		}

		console.log("Logged on!");

        community.getSteamUser('username', function(err, user){
            if (err) {
                console.log(err);
            } else {
                user.comment('test comment', (err) => {
                    if (err) {
                        console.log(err);
                    } else {
                        console.log('comment posted successfully');
                    }
                });
            }
        });
        return;
	});
}

But the doLogin() function will seem untrustworthy for end-users, so I would want to be able to use the standard "Sign In with Steam" as offered by Passport-Steam.

 

Is there any way for me to do the login via Steam and then transfer those session details/cookies to use steamcommunity?

 

Thanks for any help.

No, "sign in through Steam" doesn't provide any kind of access to the user's Steam account. All it does is give you a verified SteamID.
