Hi, I'm trying to do some work with openid - I don't want to use the federated login as I also want to support facebook connect. (I'm open to advice on the best approach to do this, but for now, I've been looking into rolling my own openid functionality).
I've been looking at the example provided here: http://code.google.com/p/google-app-engine-samples/downloads/detail?name=openid-consumer_20080704.tar.gz However, I'm having some issues with it. First off, I can't seem to get it working at all and I've done a bit of digging inside the code to figure out what is going on - the behaviour seems a bit strange and not what I would expect in appengine. More specifically, I see the following issues: - before going off to a provide to authenticate, information pertaining to the session is generated and it looks like it should be written to the datastore (in store_session() ) -- however, the information is not written to the datastore as the first char in the dynamic property is '_' --- this relates to the '_openid_consumer_last_token' field of the session specifically -- related to this, the type of the object associated with the above is an openid.consumer.discover.OpenIDServiceEndpoint which cannot be written to the datastore in its current format This is giving rise to some other problems for me as when I get the callback, it is not straightforward to find the endpoint and check the authentication (in the complete() phase). I could make some mods to json up the endpoint class and I think this might solve the problem, but I was wondering more generally whether there are good reasons not to do this and indeed why the appengine variant operates as it does. Any comments/pointers appreciated. BR, Seán. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
