Tutorial: Adding user authentication and management to a Bluemix app with the Passport service

  • 1.  Tutorial: Adding user authentication and management to a Bluemix app with the Passport service

    Posted Wed July 19, 2017 10:57 AM

    Hello all,

    Just a quick ping about a tutorial I wrote recently. I got a chance to experiment with the Bluemix Passport service, and was able to use it to "outsource" all the user management functionality of my PHP application running on Bluemix.

    Essentially, Passport provides an API for common user management tasks, including account creation, profile and password management and user activation/deactivation, and a remote data store for user credential storage. You can also use it to add SSO functionality across apps.

    I wrote a tutorial about integrating this with a PHP application on Bluemix, including such features as an account registration form and user control panel. Please check it out and let me know what you think!

    PS. There's also an upcoming second part which covers more complex operations!

    Hope this is useful to some of you :)
