#Authentication Api

The Authentication-api is the service that manages the users authentication and stores their tokens. It is called a first time by the application to perform login and have back a user token. After that, all the other services will need to authenticate the user tokens with a call to the api.

This api needs to call the data-service only when performing login (to check password/username). The tokens are stored internally in a light MySQL database.

We decided to separate the authentication logic in a different api/service in order not to overload the business and data services when performing simple (but lot) of requests for authentication of tokens.
