Are there any existing user authentication libraries for node.js? In particular I'm looking for something that can do password authentication for a user (using a custom backend auth DB), and associate that user with a session.



Before I wrote an auth library, I figured I would see if folks knew of existing libraries. Couldn't find anything obvious via a google search.

Looks like the connect-auth plugin to the connect middleware is exactly what I need


I'm using express [ http://expressjs.com ] so the connect plugin fits in very nicely since express is subclassed (ok - prototyped) from connect
