[Passport](http://passportjs.org/)-based User Authentication system for [Sails.js](http://sailsjs.org) applications.

**Note:** For comprehensive user account control with role-based permissioning, object ownership, and row-level security, see [**sails-permissions**](https://github.com/tjwebb/sails-permissions), which uses this project as a dependency.

## 1. Install
```sh
$ npm install sails-auth --save
```
This will install `sails-auth` as a Sails Hook. The Hook uses
[marlinspike](https://github.com/tjwebb/marlinspike) to inject the relevant
Controllers, Policies, etc into your Sails application.

## 2. Configure

#### `config/passport.js`

By default, the `local` and `basic` strategies are enabled. See
[config/passport.js](https://github.com/tjwebb/sails-auth/blob/master/config/passport.js)
for examples of how to add and configure additional authentication strategies.

#### `config/auth.js`

```js
  bcrypt: {
    /**
     * Specifiy number of salt rounds to perform on password. Values >10 are
     * slow.
     */
    rounds: 8
  }
```

## 3. Authenticate!

Create users as you normally would (`POST` to `/user`). Authenticate using the
endpoint of the provider you've chosen.

#### `/user/me`
Returns `User` for this authenticated session.
