Mobile app development with ionicframework

[Raj]

Hi all, 

We are currently developing a web app and mobile app using TG and ionicframework. The webapp is done in TG with front end in AngularJS incorporated in Kajiki template.

The mobile app is developing in ionicframework as a hybrid app.

I have a small doubt regarding the authentication. Can we use the current authentication plugin which used Cookies for mobile app too?

Any insights are appreciated.

Regards,

Usually in the case of mobile applications cookie based authentication is uncommon, it's more common to rely on an API token.

But yes, nothing prevents you from using cookie based authentication.

In case you want to roll your own custom authentication based on a token what you need to do is roll your own Identifier and authenticator (see http://turbogears.readthedocs.io/en/latest/turbogears/authentication.html for an explanation of what an identifier is and how TG auth stack works).

Many thanks for your reply.

I was following the TG authentication doc. But got stuck.

I would like to keep the default auth plugin for the web app and needs a new one for the mobile app.

What app_cfg changes are needed to implement this? 

Not clear from the current doc.

Actually I would like to have a app_cfg example with multiple authentication plugin configurations.

Any help?

As of now, using the default authentication mechanism. And seems working for the mobile app too.

[Alessandro Molina]

That's a good idea, I'll try to add an example to the documentation across next week.

Development branch of documentation now includes a tutorial on how to add a simple custom identifier: http://turbogears.readthedocs.io/en/development/turbogears/authentication.html#simpletoken-example

Note that providing "default" in identifiers is not supported in current stable release, it will only be supported in upcoming 2.3.11.

To keep cookie based authentication too in 2.3.10 you will have to manually add a repoze.who.plugins.auth_tkt.AuthTktCookiePlugin instance to identifiers and authenticators.

Dear Alessandro,

Many thanks for this code example.
