not sure exactly what you are asking - but (for example) to register a user, you can send a verification email to the user, with a generated URL. Upon registration you can create a UUID, and on your server, a controller to accept the UID as a argument, and thus uniquely identify and validate.
E.g.: user [email protected] on registration gets assigned (by your software) a uuid of 123456; You include a link in their verification email, such as: http://mysite.net/myapp/verify/registration/123456 Then in your controllers, you create a verify.py, with a registration() function that takes request.args(0) --- the 123456 --- finds it in a user record (with a query / select), and marks that record as verified. Is this all you were asking? - Yarko On Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 11:02 PM, Iceberg <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Sep10, 9:05am, Victor <[email protected]> wrote: > > hello everyone just a quick question here.
