Hi Anirudh, there are multiple logins for different customers and applications. I could write the data into a database. But i would have to make sure, that applications can only retrieve the data they are allowed to. I don't want application A for customer B be able to mess with the data of customer C. Using a simple database would also require authentication for the database. Where do i get the auth-data for the database from? This would just change the point where i have to authenticate - but it don't want to have applications authenticate anywhere to get the necceccary data. The required information should *magically* be available for use, for example by distributing the data beforehand. Also a database query to a remote server could become a problem since the db-server would have to be open for all kinds of requests. Though that problem could be solved using a virtual private network.
What I basically want is the application to know all required login information without ever having to authenticate anywhere. I'm not sure a solution to this problem exists (yet) since i haven't found anything despite excessive google use. hope that clears things up kind regards konqi On 2 Apr., 13:48, "Anirudh (Google)" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Konqi, > > I do not understand your environment completely but how about storing > the password in a DB and have your job-apps request for it before they > start hitting Google services? > Sorry, if am missing something here. > > -Anirudh > > On Mar 31, 5:08 pm, konqi <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi! > > > I want to run serveral jobs that use the google APIs using different > > programming languages (namely: C#, PHP).
