I have created a gadget and can make a simple RPC request to a service I have implemented using the app engine. I would like to store and retrieve user specific information using the RPC service, but I want to do it in a secure way.
How can I identify the logged in user of the gadget container (OpenSocial container) and provide this information to the service? I have looked at OAuth, but this appears to be a way to allow users to authorize access to data from third-party gadgets. Since I am the gadget and service author, I don' think this is necessary. My gadget is "phoning home." I think I just need to get the identity of the logged in user. The container makeRequest function does support OAUTH and SIGNED authorization types, but these don't seem like what I need. I would appreciate help on this. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OpenSocial Application Development" group.
