I just wrote a custom gadget that prompts for a username and password. Then I use makeRequest to send these credentials along with their open social viewerId. On the server side, if the username and password are correct, I store the viewerId in my user database for that user. So now I know the viewerId for these users. But I'm currently doing this without signed authentication.
