CleverStack Authentication Module

This CleverStack Module provides easy to use, easy to configure, reliable and scalable Authentication System that allows you to (within minutes) have authentication via Google, Facebook, Github, LinkedIn, and many more...

Highlights

• Works with both the clever-orm and the clever-odm modules.
• Easy to use configuration prompts, grunt prompt:cleverAuthConfig.
• Easily installed using the CleverStack CLI, clever install clever-auth.
• Easily extend clever-auth with new Authentication Providers that are not implemented yet.
• Use with the clever-users module - OR - with any other module that exports the UserController, UserService and UserModel resources/classes.
• Authentication Strategies: Github, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox, Google - as well as local authentication out of the box.
