But that will tie one user with opensocial_owner_id to one user in my system (j2ee web app). What I want one open social user with one opensocial_owner_id can use different J2ee web app's username and password from his page.
So for the first time I want to send the username and password (like any other data field but secured) to the j2ee app and then perhaps keep a mapping between opensocial_owner_id and j2eeWebAppId for that specific session. Wanted to be sure that I am thinking in the right direction or am i missing something here. ~vinay On Nov 17, 1:17 am, Arne Roomann-Kurrik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Vinay, > > Signed requests may include the parameters opensocial_viewer_id and > opensocial_owner_id which will identify which user is currently using > your app. > > ~Arne > > On Nov 14, 4:26 am, Vinay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Robson, > > > I was trying this. > > You wrote // if the request is signed, you'll able to check if the > > user is the owner > > of app. > > > What if in my app i can use the same igoogle id (lets assume > > MyiGoogleId) to login for different user of J2eeWebApplication.
