This example demonstrates how to use [Express](http://expressjs.com/) 4.x and
[Passport](http://passportjs.org/) to authenticate users using City of Helsinki
SSO. Use this example as a starting point for your own web applications.

dependencies.

```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/City-of-Helsinki/passport-helsinki-example.git

The example uses environment variables to configure the consumer key and
consumer secret needed to access the OAuth2 API. Start the server with those
variables set to the appropriate credentials.

```bash
$ CLIENT_ID=__OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID__ CLIENT_SECRET=__OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET__ node server.js
```
