[opensuse-web] Resources for Novell login?
Hi, guys. I'm working on theming question2answer, which is basically a Q&A application (http://question2answer.org) that is translation/plugin/theme ready. It's developed using php & mysql instead of ruby on rails that stackoverflow and ask.ubuntu.com use. It means everyone interested can join development without any limits, eg, to learn rails. I was about to add translations to OBS, oh my, I'm still learning rails half a year later. I'm coding here: https://github.com/marguerite/help.o.o (welcome to fork!) I hope one day we can make help.o.o no longer a static page. that's the background. (I didn't promise that I can finish it alone in a timely manner...I just code when I want to) So here I need some resources which I can refer to integrate Novell account. I know there're some in the internet, like news/lizards.o.o and wiki. but they're either no source code or mask the post-method destination(seems, because I didn't find such things on gitorious and github). So can someone give more hints? In short...I need some API doc...

Hi Marguerite, maybe you could integrate with the openid authentication of SUSE/Novell. It's available at http://www.novell.com/openid/, and soon at https://www.suse.com/openid. We would need to enable the domain your question2answer is running on.

Hi, Thomas, the urls are for SuSE staff only...it returns: You should not be seeing this. Localid; unluckily I'm not a SuSE employee... Marguerite -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner@opensuse.org

Hi, no it's not for SUSE staff only. It's not for being used with a browser ;-) See here how openid works: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenID There are client libraries for integrating this with your app. Greetings -- Thomas Schmidt (tschmidt [at] suse.de) SUSE Linux Products GmbH :: Research & Development "Don't Panic", Douglas Adams (11.03.1952 - 11.05.2001) -- Thomas Schmidt (tom [at] opensuse.org) "Don't Panic", Douglas Adams (11.03.1952 - 11.05.2001) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner@opensuse.org

Oh...thanks...I'll have a try with standard openid way.... Marguerite -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner@opensuse.org

I agree with Thomas that openid is probably the best way, as it's all ready to go for you. However, just for the sake of putting all the options out there... 1- Using the Access Manager system as a proxy to your service, which can provide data by inserting additional headers into the request. This is how the wikis, forums, and blogs are done today. The advantages here are that the site would be available over SSL, and getting data out of the headers is very easy. The main disadvantage is latency, unless you would like the site hosted on the same servers as www.opensuse.org (which comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages). 2- Using SAML or another federation protocol. It doesn't provide much of an advantage over openid except that libraries, documentation, code samples, etc. are a little easier to find. However, it is an option you can consider. -Matt
