Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'imap' strategy, to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.post('/login', 
  passport.authenticate('imap', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
  function(req, res) {
    res.redirect('/');
  });
