Authentiq is a great way to securely setup authentication in your application.
First off you will need to register for an account at Authentiq.
With this template you will need to create a Server Side Application, providing a redirect URI. If working locally, you will need to setup a SSL as PassportJS requires HTTPS. An easy way to get around this is to use another service called ngrok. Your callback URI should be setup both in your authentiq account and in the passport-setup.js file. Also in the same file provide the Client ID.
Note:
- Tested Node v10.0.0
- ES6 & Async/Await has been used
Required environment variables:
- MONOGO_URL
- SESSION_SECRET
- AUTHENTIQ_SECRET
- NODE_ENV
- "development"; or
- "production"
In development mode sessions are setup to use a session file which creates a directory named sessions. In production it will use REDIS.
Before running server: npm install to install the modules.
If using the built in script to run the server e.g. npm run dev, you will need to install nodemon if you don't have it. npm i -g nodemon.
