Overview

Meteor Shared Auth is an innovative package designed for scenarios where multiple Meteor applications operate on separate domains but share a common database. This functionality is particularly useful for seamless user experiences, allowing users to maintain their logged-in status across various apps. For example, if a user logs into one application, they are automatically authenticated in others that are part of the same configuration.

This package significantly enhances user convenience and streamlines access management across multiple platforms. By utilizing the shared logged-in state, developers can create a cohesive experience for users navigating between different applications.

Features

  • Seamless User Authentication: Automatically shares the logged-in state among multiple applications, ensuring users do not need to log in separately.

  • Multiple Domain Support: Operates across different domains, making it ideal for businesses with varied web presences.

  • Shared Database Compatibility: Designed specifically for applications that share the same database, enhancing functionality without sacrificing security.

  • Meteor.settings Integration: Requires configuration via Meteor.settings, which centralizes and simplifies the auth setup across applications.

  • Customizable Shared Domains: Developers can define public settings for sharedAuthDomains, tailoring the experience to specific needs.

  • User-Friendly Experience: Improves user experience by reducing login friction and allowing smooth transitions between applications.

  • Easy Installation: Simplifies the setup process with straightforward installation instructions for quick implementation.
