Authentication server

This server handles user authentication. In our very simple case, it will only ask for an username, but we can think of improving it to interact with a LDAP server. Once the user authenticated itself, it server will place a Macaroon in the user's browser, with a status caveat, depending on the route used:

• If the user authed on /, they will have the "student" status.
• If the user authed on /teacher, they will have the "teacher" status.

Install & run

Just run npm install in this repository to install the dependencies, then run either npm start or node server.js to start the server.
