Research Authentication #2

Closed kokhouser closed 8 years ago

kokhouser commented 8 years ago

It's clear we need to provide user authentication (username/password? Google account? Facebook? Twitter?) of some sort, so we can ensure that only authorized users can create Geocaches under their names.

Task: Research authentication frameworks that work with NodeJS and Express.

Or do we want to write our own?

jtkilleen commented 8 years ago

I saw that Express already allows implementation of basic auth. I'm currently looking into this option for now.

I suppose it would be best if we had a token generated for a set amount of time after authentication so users can pass that in? I don't really know how we want to do it.

@jtkilleen added authentication.

Closing this.
