Configuring a factory inside a service

I have a service auth with a function login, which logs in to a server and saves an authorization token to a variable:

myApp.factory 'auth', ['$http', ($http) ->
    @token = null
    @login = (user, pass) ->

    ...

]

After logging in, I update $http's factory to use the defined token in the header of each request.

myApp.factory 'httpAuthInterceptor', ($injector, $q) ->
  request: (request) ->
    token = ($injector.get 'auth').token
    request.headers.Authorization = "Bearer " + token
  return request or $q.when request

The problem is that the interceptors are configured in the top-level at startup:

myApp.config ($httpProvider) ->
  $httpProvider.interceptors.push 'httpAuthInterceptor'

How can I reconfigure them after the login function, or as its last step?

Thanks!

You don't need to modify the interceptor, once the authentication has completed you should set application wide headers in your auth factory with the below:

$http.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = "Bearer " + token;
