Hey guys –

This seems to be related to this issue:

How to check authenticated status server side with ionic cloud Auth

I’m evaluating whether to use Ionic’s cloud Auth service and it seems like it’s relatively easy to implement client-side, where you can check this.auth.isAuthenticated. You can also set the user info from the client side as well. However, if I want to do check their identity server-side, such as check that a user is authenticated when they call my custom api to post a comment - how can I get some sort of token (preferably a JWT token) that I can use to validate their identity server-side? Assum…

Can you weigh in on what options you would like to see in Ionic Cloud Auth? It seems like a great start but without some way to Authenticate with Ionic Cloud Auth using an AuthToken, there is an awful lot of work to set up a custom server. I’m hoping the Ionic team can come up with an elegant solution to this, as they have with so many other issues!

Thanks,
Marc
