stormpath-passport-express-sample

Starting the App

source .env
npm start

Troubleshooting

• Run the bootstrap script
• The create app is not working so you have to manually create an app in stormpath called 'stormpath-express-sample'
• Make sure you source .env

A sample Passport + Express application which demonstrates how to successfully use passport-stormpath to handle user authentication and authorization for your web app.

Stormpath is a User Management API that reduces development time for any application with scalable user infrastructure.

NOTE: Passport.js is purely for authentication (i.e. checking that someone's username and password is valid, or getting their identity from a social provider). It is not designed for handling user registrations, manage password resets, or implement email verification workflows, etc. In turn, our Passport strategy only automates authentication. If you need to do more, like password reset, you'll need to also use the Stormpath Node SDK.

For a more seamless and automated experience, check out our express-stormpath library instead of Passport.js. It provides a full suite of user management features for your Express-based web application:

• Create, register and authenticate users.
• Store custom user data with each account.
• Create and assign permissions (groups, roles, etc.).
• Handle complex authentication and authorization patterns, like multi-tenancy.
• Log users in via social login with Facebook and Google OAuth.
• Cache user information for quick access.
• Secure all your passwords.
