With friend connect we have lots of code samples on how to use FC for authentication your self instead of through the standard JS solutions, also FC exposes a regular OpenSocial REST/RPC API, so you can talk to it just like you would talk to an OpenSocial container.
For info see http://www.google.com/friendconnect/ and click the 'For Developers' tab on the left, and follow the link to the documentation: http://code.google.com/apis/friendconnect/code.html In this case you probably want to start out with: http://code.google.com/apis/friendconnect/serverside_integration.html The docs and code are all there, Hope this helps, -- Chris On Mon, Jun 8, 2009 at 7:48 PM, neonnoon <neonn...@gmail.com> wrote: > > thank you scott and chris. > > RPX looks promising, however being proprietary and non-free keeps me > away from this solution. > > I should have mentioned, that I also need to query a logged-in user's > friends. such that a user can share stuff with them. hence, openID > doesn't really help here. > > I already had a look into FriendConnect from google. however, I > thought it's more or less a simple almost-non-coding front-end tool > for OpenSocial. so, if it's not, how would I use FriendConnect to > authenticate a user?
