Complete authentication as API including OAuth2 endpoints

I implemented an auth API for a SPA. This is rarely documented and therefore I want to share here how I did it hoping it will be a help for others.

We are still working on it and I'll update this document accordingly.

This tutorial uses following versions:

Package	Version

security and hardening options for systemd service units

A common and reliable pattern in service unit files is thus:

NoNewPrivileges=yes
PrivateTmp=yes
PrivateDevices=yes
DevicePolicy=closed
ProtectSystem=strict

NGINX Tuning For Best Performance

For this configuration you can use web server you like, i decided, because i work mostly with it to use nginx.

Generally, properly configured nginx can handle up to 400K to 500K requests per second (clustered), most what i saw is 50K to 80K (non-clustered) requests per second and 30% CPU load, course, this was 2 x Intel Xeon with HyperThreading enabled, but it can work without problem on slower machines.

You must understand that this config is used in testing environment and not in production so you will need to find a way to implement most of those features best possible for your servers.
