The sails-auth library is a 3rd-party module that hasn't been updated in a few years, so it's likely not compatible with newer versions of Sails (1.0 and later). In the spot where it's failing, it's trying to use sails.getBaseUrl, which is deprecated as of Sails 1.0. (And looks like the capitalization was off to begin with: it's using getBaseurl instead of getBaseUrl with a capital "U", so it may not have worked even with older versions of Sails.)

For built-in auth in Sails 1.0 and later, try generating a new app with: sails new foo --caviar. (You can reference an example app built with that template here.)
