I'm working in web2py with a team using ruby. I want to get our two apps to interact smoothly. Our apps share a user table in common. The user table is defined in the ruby app. I would like to use the auth routines, but I'm not sure I know how I would do it under these circumstances.
In the absence of an auth, I figured I would check a session ID passed to me by the ruby app. The ruby app would be, in effect, saying this user with id x has this unique session ID. As long as the session ID is active, the user is logged in. So, assuming ruby gives me a user id and a session number, is this as simple as me declaring: session.id='<some unique ruby session identifier>' or do I have to do something more? The other alternative is that I hook up to the ruby app's MySQL database and get the user's ID directly from the database. This is even more desireable since I could then directly update the user's profile with information from my app. How would this be done? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
