Has anyone successfully connected to a node-red app hosted on [bluemix.net](http://bluemix.net) via IBM App-ID ? If you did how did you do it? Any suggestions?

I'm looking at bluemix-settings.js but I'm not entirely sure how to force the bluemix app-id social auth node in the javascript prior to invoking node.red. would it be easier to convert the app-id SDK to a node.red node and address app- id from a flow?
