Planning to use Web2py CAS as Authnication service for Tornado

[Phyo Arkar]

In our new application , it will be interactive Chat + Social Media/News/Forum discussion.

For most interactive part it will be done in Tornado , but for Non Interactive parts (Registration , Auth) I am going to use Web2py.

Database will be Mongodb.

We've used web2py extensively for past 5 years. But for interactive part Tornado is needed due to Long Polling and Websocket requirements.

Here are my Thoughts:

Home, Registration , Login = Web2py

Interactive discussion = Tornado

It will run on openshift with 3 instances.

1st  Gear:  uwsgi + web2py
2nd  Gear:  pypy + tornado
3rd  Gear:  Mongodb

Both will use Mongodb for database access.

What i wanted to know is:

I read about We2pyCAS with PHP , had anyone tried using Web2pyCAS for Tornado's Apps?

Can CAS Work well with Mongodb? ( I think it won't as theres no join for Mongodb).

Thanks alot massimo, i haven't seen that.

	class PostHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
	"""
	only authorized parties can post messages
	"""
	def post(self):
	if hmac_key and not 'signature' in self.request.arguments:
	return None
	if 'message' in self.request.arguments:
	message = self.request.arguments['message'][0]
	group = self.request.arguments.get('group', ['default'])[0]
	print '%s:MESSAGE to %s:%s' % (time.time(), group, message)
	if hmac_key:
	signature = self.request.arguments['signature'][0]
	if not hmac.new(hmac_key, message).hexdigest() == signature:
	return None
	for client in listeners.get(group, []):
	client.write_message(message)
	return None

Very useful!
