Part of a reasonable answer is that you do it with whatever toolset you’re familiar with. It’s also reasonable, if you used a signed cookie system that the cookie verification module is about 50 LoC so you could use an auth system written in (say) PHP to authenticate a node.js or .NET application.
In 2000 I had been watching Yahoo buy up lots of internet properties and… integrate them with their auth system. I had a vision that you could pick “best of breed” open source and other software, plug it into your auth system and make your own “portal” web site. I had some success developing sites this way but it never caught on and I still don’t understand why.
