Reinoud's post about his first steps with Shindig sparked an interesting discussion I want to pull into a separate thread. Our story so far:
Reinoud suggested that the container and the gadget server not need to share the same data sources, just a few encryption keys.[1] Kevin agreed. [2] I said I didn't think not sharing data sources was realistic, because too much information would need to go in the security token. [3] Kevin also agreed with that, at which point I got confused. The main reason I think we'll need to share data sources between the container and the gadget server is OAuth; there are per user access tokens that the gadget server needs access to. That implies the container and the gadget server are both using the same backend for their users. Or am I missing something?
