Looking at all the GAE Users documentation - it seems quite straight forward to authenticate a user using GAE User class. Using the code:
from google.appengine.api import users user = users.get_current_user() if user: #user.email() else: #redirect to login: users.create_login_url() If anyone has any ideas how you could map the users.get_current_user() to the auth.id then maybe we could use the web2py authorization methods using the google account?? Looking at google docs you should not do this by saving the username and nicname to the datastore and then matching this to a auth.id as the user can change their profile (email adress) and there is no mechanism to track this so the web2py data and google account data could become unsync.' I am just thinking in words here to stimulate this topic, with more experienced developers, as I would like to add this feature to my wiki app, and it would not be easy to retrofit this kind of thing without problems at a later stage. chrism On Mar 21, 2:58 am, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > I'd love if somebody could port Auth to GAE. > > On Mar 20, 9:06 pm, Tito Garrido <titogarr...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Yeah Joseph, something like that! > > > Thanks! > > > But, I'd like something more web2pythonic :D I think that we don't this > > implemented yet... > > > Like > > > auth = Auth(GAE(), db) > > > I don't know... but here is an idea... :) > > > Regards, > > > Tito > > > On Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 6:58 AM, Joseph Jude <ceph...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > I'm assuming that you want to validate the user via google auth and > > > then allow the authenticated user into your application.
