| PackageDescription | General-purpose OAuth 2.0 authentication strategy for Passport.
This module lets you authenticate using OAuth 2.0 in your Node.js
applications. By plugging into Passport, OAuth 2.0 authentication can
be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or
framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
Note that this strategy provides generic OAuth 2.0 support. In many
cases, a provider-specific strategy can be used instead, which cuts
down on unnecessary configuration, and accommodates any
provider-specific quirks. See the list for supported providers.
Developers who need to implement authentication against an OAuth 2.0
provider that is not already supported are encouraged to sub-class
this strategy. If you choose to open source the new provider-specific
strategy, please add it to the list so other people can find it. |
