Hi Massimo, Thanks for your input. Yes, they would receive email, since they have got external (out of google services) email accounts. I realized that I should describe shortly my approach.
Most of aplication users will use GaeGoogleLogin. There are only few that will use alternative login method. The minority have their own records in datastore with id, login and password. How to authenticate the minority? I have found function in web2py.gluon.tools.Auth called login_user() that should log in requested user as can be checked via is_logged_id(). I prepared separate login screen (avoiding Google login) getting user input namely login and password. Now If user input match user data I would like use auth.user_login() to get 'logged in' status. Suppose that I have empty class ChineseUser in db.py and I am instantiating it in default controller like so: user = ChineseUser() and I am binding required (by other gluon functions) attributes like so: user.id = id_taken_from_database user.email = email_taken_from_database and I am using auth.user_login(user) to log in the user. call of 'if auth.is_logged_in()' confirms the success of logging operation And within one function all is fine, which means session.auth.user.id returns correct id of the user that have been logged in. Unfortunately, calling session variables (session.auth.user.id) or auth.user.id within other function(s) returns error saying None type(s) (session and auth in this case) have no requested attributes (id). How to provide session and auth (meaning the session and the auth called by 'my' loggin in method - not the Google LoginService based method) to hold their states across functions?
