0.1.1 Auth/entication/orization Beginner Intro

A front door for learning about your application's front door

Learn about “auth” - both “authentication” and “authorization”. You need to get this right… But it’s not that hard, these days.

We talk about some of the pitfalls and best practices about this very important part of your application.

Here are a few of the topics discussed (overviews at a fairly high level):

  • User / Pass
  • OAuth
  • One way encryption
  • Session

Also at the end Alan talks about Meteor’s Accounts which is an excellent, working straight out of the box, option.

Of course, many frameworks offer an accounts/groups/roles/acl solution of some sort. It’s just that you can be playing with a fully functional and secure accounts system in under 10 minutes with Meteor.
