965941 - Implement Webmaker log-in in Appmaker

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webmaker Graveyard :: Login, defect)

Description

[Chris DeCairos (:cade)]

This will require some careful work. We will have to enable this on Appmaker in such a way that the Auth system used by Appmaker is pluggable. That is, Appmaker should be able to choose what kind of auth it will use to identify users.

One possible solution Jon suggested might include using passport ( http://passportjs.org/ ) and building a Webmaker log-in module that can be used with it.

I really want to be able to do this from a FF extension too, which basically means being able to do it from any domain, since my extension injects HTML/JS/CSS into arbitrary pages.

it depends on:
