The LocalStrategy is always used when you have to implement your own logic on how credentials should be verified. In our case, now this means that we will validate against MongoDB. I already prepared the empty module where we will implement all the authentication logic. So I'm going to open Server, Lib, and in there, there is Passport in the Index.js file. So you see, this is an empty module, we just load the user service there already because we will use it to talk to the MongoDB. I will also start the Node.js process again…
