Why do I need to login again to Cloud for push notification?

[Oleg Polyakov]

Greetings,

I have the following use case.

Titanium App -> calls Node.ACS service (does the login, returns some data to client) -> Titanium App gets device token from Titanium.Network.registerForPushNotifications

-> Titanium App tries to subscribeToServerPush

The subscribeToServerPush is failing because my Node.ACS login didn't seem to take effect.  If I do a manual login to Cloud.Users.login it will work.  But obviously, I don't want to login twice one through Node.ACS and one within client calling Cloud.

Second question is there a tutorial anywhere that shows how to trigger push notifications from Node.ACS.  I only tested push notifications from cloud appcelerator console.

Regards,

Oleg

Hi Oleg,

Did you pass in the req, res to the ACS call from the node.ACS side. You want to make sure you pass along the user session from the client to the server.

What do you mean "pass req, res to the ACS call from the node.ACS side"?  My node.acs for login looks like this

ACS.Users.login({login: username, password: password}, loginCallback, req, res);

I don't think subscribe accepts session_id as a parameter http://cloud.appcelerator.com/docs/api/v1/push_notifications/subscribe

I can try manually pass session_id from node.acs to titanium client, and pass it subscribe call

Cloud.PushNotifications.subscribe({

        channel : 'friend_request',

        type : 'ios',

        device_token : user_device_token,

        session_id: session_id

If you check the gist - https://gist.github.com/opolyo01/5197701 it works fine with login, but skipping login call returns "Error:\n You need to sign up before continuing"

Check the part about user sessions

Sorry I'm also struggling with this, you think it fails platform?
Do not give me access to the cloud.
Your code is to send Push Notifications from a real web server?

Basically the problem is that you need to pass in a valid session in order for notify.json call to work. it requires validate user authentication.
