Authentication API

This part of the exercise is responsible for the users authentication.

• POST /login - takes a JSON and returns an access token

The JSON structure is:

{
    "username": "admin",
    "password": "admin",
}

Configuration

The service scans environment for variables:

• AUTH_API_PORT - the port the service takes.
• USERS_API_ADDRESS - base URL of Users API.
• JWT_SECRET - secret value for JWT token processing. Must be the same amongst all components.

Initial data

Following users are hardcoded for you:

Username	Password
admin	admin
johnd	foo
janed	ddd

Building

- export GO111MODULE=on
- go mod init github.com/bortizf/microservice-app-example/tree/master/auth-api
