How to change postgresql db port?

Well, first of all let me thank you for the work you done on this starter kit.
As front-end developer coming to back-end, the user management seemed like too complicated thing: user creation, login through FB, change password, verify by email. All this things are very difficult to get your head around.

I have a problem starting application.

Unhandled rejection SequelizeConnectionRefusedError: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:5432

This means that there is no database on this port. Problem is i cannot create db with this port config. And there seems to be nothing blocking port :5432, i checked as hard as i could.

How can i change it to :5433 or something else?

error in less

hi ,
i installed and configured but app ,return this error
500 Error: Invalid mapping: {"generated":{"line":487,"column":2},"source":"/Users/Amin/expg/public/css/vendor/bootstrap/type.less","original":{"line":1,"column":null},"name":null}

no such file or directory, open '.env'

I updated the secrets file with my postgres credentials.

However, I get a warning when starting up the app. Any ideas? It works.

Is this project maintained?

Hi, I'm just wondering if this project is still maintained? Thanks.

Progress before v1.0

Just a one big task with list of all necessary improvements and fixes to be done before v1.0

• Rewrite Jade to EJS
• Remove existing assets and introduce bower
• Add console app for adjusting whole application (choosing auth providers and apis)
• Adding a SPA as a new subset application (with Angular.JS)
• Add possibility to choose a DB system in console app
• Add encoding of the user tokens field in the database. It is actually quite sensitive information stored there. It can't be hashed because it's necessary to retrieve it from time to time.

CSRF Token missing in POST

React front end, trying to post to the server side, however I get a Error: CSRF token missing

import Cookies from 'js-cookie';
....
        const xsrfCookie = Cookies.get('XSRF-TOKEN');
        const headers = new Headers({
            'XSRF-TOKEN': xsrfCookie,
            '_csrf': xsrfCookie,
        });

        console.log("formdata",formData)
        const res = await fetch('/postAttempts', {
            method: 'POST',
            headers,
            credentials: 'include',
            body: JSON.stringify(formData),
        })

From the controller

exports.postAttempts = function(req, res) {
  console.log(req);
  console.log(req.body);

  res.json({data: 'hi'});
};

Am I incorrectly pulling the csrf token?

Improve linking accounts functionality

There are 2 things to be improved in this matter:

• add some warning flag for user to fill his e-mail address, when e-mail address was generated by us (in case there was no e-mail data returned from OAuth provider)
• there should be better handler for linking 2 existing accounts (let's imagine Acc A, with Google Token and Acc B, without one. When we try to link Acc B to the same Google Account, then we will have error. This error should be improved)

sign up issue

upon signing up with facebook, it forces a linkedin auth connection.

Basically it's doing both.
