Hi Tiago,
A very simple means is to create your own persistent 'user' object.
GAE will let you save users, retrieve users, and you can validate
users. Now, here it is important to assess the security and
confidentiality
requirements of your web application: you may not want usernames and
passwords to travel in cleartext, which would impose an encryption.
However, for a prototype, or if the security requirements are low, you
would not worry about that.
In this case a persistent 'MyUser' object will do the job.
Authenticating against a remote system would be possible if it can be
bridged over a http connection. Suppose you would like your
webapplication
to offer the user's credentials to an LDAP server, outside of GAE.
However, I do not have any experience with that. GAE does not want us
to use
UrlClassLoaders (use url categories of the style "ldap:// ").
Here is a means of registering which links the user clicks on (if
those are external links):
normal link:
<a href="www.tiaterra.org"> visit tiaterra's web site </a>
javascripted:
<a href="#" onClick="javascript:registerAndGo('www.tiaterra.org');">
visit tiaterra's web site <a/>
Here is a proposal for registerAndGo:
registerAndGo(String url) {
$POST("request: " + url); // post back to your server, please see
jQuery for this !
document.location = url;
}
For the 'POST' function: this is a really easy to use function in
jQuery that posts a request to a page back on your web application,
which would create a registration entry (registration would then be
another persistent class in your web application).
I hope this helps you on the way. Good luck!
Jos
