Essentially I am looking to create a custom get_user method which will
invoke the second Web service to retrieve to user's first name and
last name, which in turn will populate the appropriate fields in the
auth_user table. I've tried a few variations with no luck. The
current iteration is below. Logins are successful, but I haven't been
able to populate the auth_user table with the firstname and
lastname...

import os
from gluon.contrib.pysimplesoap.client import SoapClient, SoapFault
def webservice_auth():
def webservice_login_aux(username,
password):
client =
SoapClient(wsdl=os.path.abspath(os.path.join('applications/test/
private/UserAuthentication.wsdl')))
response = client.getUserAuthentication(UserID=username)
try:
result = str(response.message)
if result == 'OK':
return True
except SoapFault:
return False
return webservice_login_aux
def get_user(self):
client =
SoapClient(wsdl=os.path.abspath(os.path.join('applications/test/
private/UserProfile.wsdl')))
response = client.getUserProfile(Userid=auth.user.username)
return dict(first_name = str(response.firstname),
last_name = str(response.lastname))
