Milestone	A1: Login & Distributed Sessions

Accounts version 0.1 (Released)

Start date: 20 Feb 2018 ; release date: 24 Aug 2018

Source code: https://github.com/cul-it/arxiv-auth/releases/tag/accounts-0.1

User authentication views (login/logout) are handled by an implementation of the accounts service (NG application). In addition to supporting the classic authentication and session mechanisms, the login/logout views also create and destroy parallel sessions in distributed session store. This allows users to seamlessly interact with services running both on-premises and in the cloud.

Features

Integration with the classic authentication system to support legacy user sessions.
Integration with distributed session store to support authn/z on NG components.

Other

Security enhancements related to user sessions.
Removes support for permanent login token.
