Node.js + Socket.io auth check?

Question

Socket.io

the site has authorization implemented through Php. There is a node.js + socket.io chat. I want to make it so that only users authorized on the site can write to the chat. I can't figure out how to implement this.

Answer 1

When authorizing in PHP, create a token and save it in the database. When connecting to nodejs, send a token to it, and there is already a check in the database whether this token is up to date.
This is instead of doing full customization like in php.
