CleverStack Authentication Module

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.
