Sorry it took me so long. I looked into this and it cannot be done this way easily as I though. The reason is that OID uses the two tables you created (and you are correct) and does not use auth_user at all. Hence it cannot take advantage of the functionality of Auth (access control, etc etc.). Open id can only determine if a user is logged in or not.
The best one can do is create a new OpenIDAuth class that replaces Auth and exposes similar 'login', 'logout', 'require login' functionality. I think you did this already in the OpenID app. Massimo On Jul 29, 5:12 pm, hcvst <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I am just trying to implement CasAuth to plug openID (oID) into auth > (). > I've got a simple oID server/consumer app using the Janrain > Python oID lib. > > The login_methods.gae example included in the login_methods folder > seems to fit (too) well, as all external calls are wrapped nicely in > the > gae lib, but I am struggling to see how to do the same with my oID. > > Here's what I've tried now.
