Authenticate User

[iToto]

• User should be able to authenticate their credentials with the API

Auth should be implemented on Server side this week. Will be simple username/password authentication.

Be sure to check PartyStream/projectPS#1 for more details

Is it safe to assume the username and password should be stored locally so users will not have to login everytime?

Also, when you have planned out the authentication on the server, could you post the format you are expecting; headers, etc.

I'll confirm that once I integrate Passport. Not sure if there's an token exchange or if the username/pass always has to be sent.
