Question about general architecture for app using node, socket.io and google/fb login

I want to build simple app/game using node and socket.io for realtime comm.I also want to authenticate the user using google/fb login. Do I have to implement the login authentication on the client side, or can I do it server side?I'd be more comfortable doing it serverside, but then I don't know how I would ID someone on the client, when sending socket.io messages.If someone could give me a general overview of how the app should be structured I'd greatly appreciate it.
