I've been trying to implement AWS Cognito as an authentication strategy with #feathersjs/authentication but haven't had much luck with the libraries available.
What would be a good starting point to develop this integration? Cognito generates the appropriate JWTs, and the verification can happen offline by parsing the JSON Web Key (jwk.json) file and validating the key. I can get this to happen fine without using the #feathersjs/authentication library, but I'd like to take advantage of the features within that library (user lookup, error handling, etc.)
I've gotten this to work using cogito-express as an Express middleware, but that doesn't have the deeper integration that #feathersjs/authentication offers.

Can we use Openstack Identity API to Create Single Sign on for web Application. If it is possible can somebody give an idea where to start. Like how to get started with Identity API.
You can, but why bother? There are so many other standards and libraries that would do a better job.
I'm new to Node so maybe someone can help me in this decision, I want to create RESTFul API that are accessible from a web site and from mobile application returning JSON response.
I have decided to use the same API for the website and for the mobile applications for a maintain purpose, I went from a disastrous platform where the two logic part were separated. Also I want to use only RESTFul API without session for a scalability purpose, using an OAuth2 authentication and maybe Memcache to serve same JSON response thanks to the hash algorithm used.
I begin with Node+Express.js+MongoDB for the backend, but I have noticed that Express come with a lot of package to control and use cookie, template engine and so on...
So my question is: Express.js is the right package for my purpose? Or is better to not use this Framework? In your opinion what is the best way to achieve speed of access and speed of serving without any type of session and without any type of cookie?
I developed some RESTful APIs with Express. The good thing about Express is that you don`t need to use all the additional stuff like session handling and template engines.
In addition there are some really good modules that enables you to set up an API very fast.
For example if you are using mongoose have a look at Baucis.
If you still feel uncomfortable with Express, there are many other node.js frameworks for building RESTful APIs. Maybe give Restify a try?
Restify is somehow like a specialized version of Express, so it is really easy to migrate existing code.
You can go for Strongloop as well. Strongloop is a wrapper on express, but it has many features which makes it very powerful for building RESTful APIs.Please check this link https://strongloop.com/
I am starting research on how to implement Node.js SOA (service oriented architecture) with JSON web-services.
As a small sub-question, I need an approach/framework/system to make universal configuration center for all companies web-services. So that we don't configure every application with exact address of other application, but just link to some central server to get that information.
(This should be very well worked-out topic for XML-based services, so some terminology/approaches/etc could/should be borrowed.)

Service Oriented Architecture suggestions
UPDATE: This questions is about web-services configuration & orchestration.
GO for an active(having activity happening off late) framework with lean architecture.There's one called Geddy and another called Restify. If in doubt, Express can also be used for building webservices with JSON.
You can work on reading the centrally stored config from different app codebse when you use any of these.
Does anyone know of any project to expose the DRMAA API (job scheduling and maintenance API) from SGE (Sun Grid Engine) as a web service API? A RESTful API would be best.
I do not think there are any web service API for SGE. I found drmaa-python pretty easy implementing in python script that can be called from server side scripts like PHP.
There is nothing like this available at the moment, but:
The Open Grid Forum started a new standardization activity to define how DRMAAv2 can be exposed as RESTful API. The specification draft is publicly available.
Since more and more people ask for such a remote interface, implementations might be available pretty soon. They are most likely to be announced by the OGF OCCI working group, so follow them if you are still interested.
Mapping such an implementation to the DRMAAv1 library in GridEngine should be relatively straightforward.
Does anyone know of any publicly available RESTful services that can be used for testing. I'm not talking about software or browsers extensions. Just an online service that I can CRUD json data with using javascript. I'm testing a JS library's rest api and there's only so much I can do with static json data.
I'm guessing there's no such thing due to what's involved but I thought I would ask.
if you just want to practice 'gets' you can use cloudant as you can sign up for free. however, there are restrictions on adding new documents from a cross domain ajax call. I recommend running one locally. I use couchDB very quick, very easy.
You can use the google feed api and pass in any rss url to test .
This may help you.
