Hello everyone I'm going over the trac tickets for identity and most of them refer to the providers.
This is the only part that is not fully customizable of TG and therefore need some work. I'll like to hear comments on the possibilities and if someone is willing to work on it too. Right now there are two possible solutions. 1- Implement identity providers based on RuleDispacher and peak security you can find this at ticket #313 2- Implement identity providers as a set of subclasses. #1 is basically how json works right now, for those of you that don't know it RuleDispatcher is basically calling different methods based on the type of more then one object. the rules will probably be added as a package in each project where you could add rules, and we'll have some kind of repository of rules as "recipies". And of course the most basic rules will be provided with TG. A couple of months ago I was working on #2 a bit on this although I never made the changes public. Basically what I had was moving most of the code from soprovider and saprovider to the same provider class, and then subclass from there. if someone needed a LDAP provider it will subclass provider if someone just needed to change the password source he/she will subclass soprovider,etc. then we'll have an entry on the config files that will point to the provider class to be used. This was before sa 0.2 so in order to get this up to date probably my saprovider.py should have to be rewritten. This will probably be implemented as having the default classes inside TG, and then people creating tg-addons that will either plugin providers (like widgets do) or people will provide howto's on the wiki with examples from which people can build up. --------------- The most common cases of aditional providers I have seen are: - changing the password method. (other source, other encryption) - using a third party auth. (LDAP, SSO) --------------- Please comment on the pro's and con's of each method --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
