Ember.js & Play! framework authentication best practices

I'm using Ember client app completelly separate from Play! server. The Ember-CLI is used to build the client. The question is what libs to use (client and server sides) to authenticate Ember client on Play! server?

update: What I need is token based authentication. There are perfect series of screencasts about Ember client-side authentication. Also I fount play2-auth library for server side authentication and authorization. But I can't figure out how to setup it.

I think it's not a big problem to interpolate the solution from AngularJS-example if exists. So ng-funs are welcome!

Help please!

One of the approaches is to use token based authentication. The comparison with cookies authentication can be found here.

There is JWT-authenticator for ember-simple-auth library for the client side.

On the other hand for the server side - silhouette-rest-seed. It's a good example of JWT-authentication implementation.

The only things needed to integrate the stuff are

  • Name of the token header
  • Credentials field names
