Hi
I've recently gone from writing seperate Android and iOS apps to using
Ionic2, and I want to continue to use Endpoints as my backend. The problem
is how to do the authentication. The authentication code for Android client
side was done like this (know this isn't the best way, some encryption and
safety is on the TODO-list):
backend.Builder pb = new
backend.Builder(AndroidHttp.newCompatibleTransport(), new
AndroidJsonFactory(), new HttpRequestInitializer() {
@Override
public void initialize(HttpRequest request)
throws IOException {
HttpHeaders headers = request.getHeaders();
headers.set("authinfo",
usernameTxt+"&"+passwdTxt);
request.setHeaders(headers);
}
});
I've done custom authentication on the server-side like described on a
StackOverflow answer <https://stackoverflow.com/a/25390994>.
In the javascript gapi I only see options for using Google accounts, but we
want to use seperate username/password for our system. It doesn't seem to
be any way to send custom headers and using custom authentication in the
javascript api. Custom authentication is not documented which make
searching for answers tedious. I've heard rumors that Snapchat uses google
app engine, how do they get the custom username/password system? Is
Firebase Authentication maybe the way to go? How would that be done in in
the javascript code client side?
Any links, answers or other useful information is welcome :)
