I am trying to implement a single-sign-on setup with Castronaut (which runs on Sinatra.)
What I want to do: - Castronaut app (Sinatra) at: https://login.examle.com - User management app (Rails) (user creation, forgotten passwords, entry of global information such as addresses, etc.) at: https://accounts.example.com - Various other web apps (most likely all Rails) that authenticate with the Castronaut server and refer users to the user management server for, um, user management tasks. The problem: - Castronaut (and any CAS server) needs two databases (one for the CAS- specific stuff and another for the user records—although in theory these could be the same physical database I believe.) The user records one needs to be shared between both Castronaut *and* the user management server. My questions: * How can I get Heroku to set up two databases in the Sinatra castronaut.yml config file? (one for cas_database and one for cas_adapter.) * How can I share the cas_adapter database between two Heroku apps? This is impossible with the default Heroku PostgreSQL database, right? * Would a solution be to use the PostgreSQL database for the cas_database and then an Amazon RDS for the cas_adapter? If so, how could I configure Heroku to do this? Alternatively: Castronaut can be built into a gem and run. Would it be somehow possible to have the Castronaut Sinatra gem and the user management rails app running together in the same Heroku app? (the Sinatra gem runs on a different port.) In that case I could use a single PostgreSQL database for both cas_database and cas_adapater and both the Sinatra gem and Rails app could access it, right? Thanks in advance for any advice, Russell. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group. To post to this group, send email to her...@googlegroups.com.
