well what we are using is a hybrid model: - the ios device uses a modified form of OAuth to get access tokens (and we have the confusing problem of users start anonymous but with an access token, and then may later create an "account" associating an email and other user data with the account) - the website uses web2py's auth to login those same users - the APNS token (Apple Push Notification Service) is provided optionally by the user if they opt-in to push notifications. as such it's not a primary key for the user and can't be used for authentication. if the user chooses to share it with us we store that in a field on our user table. Note that the APNS token is device specific, so if the user has multiple devices then they might have multiple tokens.
does that clarify at all? cfh On Friday, February 8, 2013 9:46:42 PM UTC-8, Massimo Di Pierro wrote: > > I do not know how this works.
