Re: Flow and the authentication framework

[Ryan Hoegg]

Geoff had a different approach to authenticating.  He mentioned using a 
Matcher, in his case a ContainerRoleMatcher, to enclose any pipelines 
you want to secure.  Then you won't need to access any authentication 
information inside your flow.

You could check out the Linotype block, which does some basic
authentication using
flow.
   

Thanks for the pointer -- I was unaware that linotype was flow-ified.  It
looks like both the petstore and linotype roll their own authentication
method, petstore hitting the database directly from the flow js, and
linotype using a class that reads the user info from a file.
I will take a closer look at the sunrise authentication framework and see if
it suits my needs enough to refactor it into something that can be called
directly from flow.
