superuser is a project I built to show JWT (authorization) in action on two separate servers.
superuser is a project to show how 1 server can be used for authentication using Passport.js localStrategey and then generateing a JWT for that user so they can communicate with other servers inside the app.
each user have the ability to make request to certain API's on running separate server (dataProvider).
superuser allowed is authorized to make any request they want but normal user is limited to only 1 api.
make sure to have mongoDB installed on your pc.
after cloning the project
-open terminal write cd authentication_server
-npm install
-open another terminal on the same directory (superuser/)
-cd dataProvider_server
-npm install
by default the authentication server runs on port 3000 and Data provider server runs on 4000
after both of npm installtions are over run npm start in each of both directories.
after going to localhost:3000.
create 2 accounts one of superuser and the other will be normal if you don't have the checkbox marked
check sign up page and you will be redirected to login page after each sign up.
if you make request with superuser you should get this result. and if you make request with normal user you should get this result.
