Hello everybody, I am developing a business application that I want to run on GAE. I tried to explain the OpenID concept to the business owner, emphasizing (maybe exaggerating) that OpenID is very easy for users. I did not tell him that it is something ready "out of the box" because he does not like technical details.
Unfortunately, the guy probably did not get and wants me to implement the usual "register -> confirm -> use app login" concept in the business app: we (the business) create a user (potential customer) using e-mail address as the only contact. Business app then sends confirmation e-mail and if the user activates the account within certain time, the user id (e-mail) and password chosen by the user will be stored in the business app. I must admit I am quite reluctant not to take advantage of the existing GAE OAuth framework and having to start reinventing the wheel. So there came the idea "setup your own OpenID provider". It would be closed and accessible only by customers of this business and the OpenID provider engine would only store their username and password. Then the business app would run using the standard framework, without any weird workarounds. I was trying to google some OpenID provider app. All that I found is Janrain Openid library. Unfortunately, it has very little documentation, if any. Could someone give me a hint how to use Janrain on GAE? Do I need to do any modifications to the code?
