    passportSocketCluster = require('passport.socketcluster'),
    RedisStore = require('connect-redis')(session);

module.exports.run = function(worker) {
  var app = express(),
      store = new RedisStore(),
      cookieKey = 'session',
      cookieSecret = 'keyboard cat';

  var server = worker.getHTTPServer(),

    store:       store,
    passport:    passport,
    callback:    function(err, req, user, next) {
      if (err) {
        return next(err);
      }
      //Save Passport user for later use
