Hi,

I've done similar OpenID/OAuth integrations before, so a high level overview of how it might work in Wookie could somehow be helpful: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WOOKIE/Wookie+OpenID +support

I thought it might belong on the wiki where others can add more details about how it might work, and, most importantly, what they'd like to accomplish with it...


This is fantastic Bryan - exactly what we need to get a shared idea of how we would want to proceed. I'll try and work up an "oAuth only" flow too using the same format.

Yes, I'd prefer Oauth too...It seems to me to fit better because it's
service oriented...

Just a quick question if it is planned to integrate any sort of OpenID
support in Wookie? Maybe with a call to the REST API before instantiating a widget? This would simulate a single-sign-on mechanism on a page where
different Wookie widgets are displayed each needing authentication.

I would need anything like that...

Hi Bernhard,

I hadn't thought of integrating OpenID in Wookie, however I would very much like to have oAuth support in Wookie so that a Widget requiring access to a remote service could request oAuth authorization by the user to the remote
service via Wookie in a similar manner to how Shindig supports this
capability.

For authentication, Wookie assumes that applications authenticate users, as this is how we assume concerns are separated - a single Wookie server can support multiple applications, potentially in different organisations, and
so we do not implement authentication concerns.

Maybe some use-cases could help articulate how an OpenID feature might
work?
