Hi Michael,
Am I understanding you solution completly wrong but isn't it so that
web2py asks WP if a username and password compination is OK. In my case
customer first logs into a WP site, he gets a list of manuals he has
paid for. When selecting a manual he wants to read he is sent to a
web2py site. Somehow WP has to tell web2py that it is OK to show the
site for the user.

Hello Kenneth,
But how do I handle that WP takes care of authentication and
somehow gives the customer rights to view the manual.
I had a similar problem. I added an XMLRPC method to my wordpress
instance to check if a given username/password combination is valid
and added an auth method to my web2py instance which calls that XMLRPC
method.
Wordpress Code:
|
# custom remote auth
add_filter('xmlrpc_methods','my_add_xml_rpc_methods');
functionmy_add_xml_rpc_methods($methods ){
$methods['mh.testCredentials']='test_credentials';
return$methods;
}
functiontest_credentials($params ){
global$wp_xmlrpc_server;
$blog_id =(int)$params[0];// not used, but follow in the form of the
wordpress built in XML-RPC actions
$username =$params[1];
$password =$params[2];
$args =$params[3];
// verify credentials
if(!$wp_xmlrpc_server->login($username,$password )){
returnFalse;
}
do_action('xmlrpc_call','mh.testCredentials');// patterned on the
core XML-RPC actions
// return success
returnTrue;
}

This is one of the tutorials I used when coming up with this:
http://www.foxrunsoftware.net/articles/wordpress/extending-the-wordpress-xml-rpc-api/
Now the web2py part - copy to ./gluon/contrib/login_methods/my_auth.py
|
fromwordpress_xmlrpc importClient
fromwordpress_xmlrpc importAuthenticatedMethod
fromwordpress_xmlrpc importInvalidCredentialsError
classGetUserInfo(AuthenticatedMethod):
method_name ="mh.testCredentials"
defmy_auth(server):
"""
to use basic login with a different server
from gluon.contrib.login_methods.basic_auth import basic_auth
auth.settings.login_methods.append(basic_auth('http://server'))
"""
defbasic_login_aux(username,
password,server=server):
wp =Client(server,username,password)
retVal =None
try:
retVal =wp.call(GetUserInfo())
exceptInvalidCredentialsError:
returnFalse
returnretVal
returnbasic_login_aux
|
Now, where you configure your auth module, add this:
|
fromgluon.contrib.login_methods.my_auth importmy_auth
auth.settings.login_methods=[my_auth("http://mywordpress/xmlrpc.php";)]# smart
people use https
auth.settings.actions_disabled.append('register')
