The Authentication server of the litmus portal (which resides in the litmus-portal
folder of the main litmus repository) is written in golang, uses certain outdated dependencies (such as mgo), and currently does not support third-party OAuth authentication modules such as:
- Google Authentication
- GitHub Authentication
- Local Authentication
The current implementation of the authentication server also consumes more resources than the litmus portal’s GraphQL server.
This proposal shall focus on re-writing the Authentication Module of the litmus-portal so that it achieves the following:
- The Authentication Module is Independent (Can be moved to a separate repository)
- The Module is light-weight and makes use of actively maintained dependencies (if any)
- The Authentication Server is robust and flexible to any future addition of features
- The Authentication Server supports OAuth authentication such as Google Auth and GitHub Auth
