Cloud-Session

Authentication system for cloud-compiled projects, and also provides a configurable rate limiting system.

All services are provided as rest services that return json. They should not be called by the users browser or client side application but by the servers on a private network.

Terminology

  • Local user: registered using an email and password. They’ll have to confirm their email address and request password reset tokens.
  • OAuth user: users registered through a third party authentication service. They cannot change their password through this server, nor have to confirm their email address.

A different database can be used, but the sql might need to be changed and configuration will be needed.
