Authentication

Authentication - hapi.dev

register a scheme (usually via plugin)
server.auth.scheme(name, scheme) or server.register()
when using plugin the scheme name is hardcoded
create strategy based on the scheme (specify options and implements validation)
server.auth.strategy(name, scheme, [options])
apply strategy to routes
server.auth.default(strategy) or options: { auth: 'simple' } on route

Passport's design is similar.
