# Gatekeeper

This is the code that runs behind [auth.vikaspotluri.me](https://auth.vikaspotluri.me). It's meant to be an extremely simple yet useful Google-based authentication mechanism to validate users before giving them protected access.

This package is intended to be used in conjunction with a webserver (specifically NGINX) as a replacement for HTTP Basic Authentication. The biggest goal is to make authentication simpler and easier for the end user over a wide array of endpoints

Goals

- Create a secure, transparent backend for authenticating users

- Provide an interface (although it won't be a GUI) to easily manage access levels

- Interface with multiple clients (specifically via REST and HTTP Status Codes)
