ChurchCRM
Social Platform integration
Just wondering your thoughts on pulling pictures and other user information from facebook.
At the least it might be good to add fields to store social media profiles in the person data. ie. Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, Google+
We might also be able to tie in signing in with Facebook account.
I'd make the issue title more general. The standard social platforms that we could support are
- Google+
We might also be able to tie in signing in with Facebook account.
I've been thinking a lot about SAML and OATH for ChurchCRM.
It really could function as a SAML IdP, or an RP given its unique role in the church.
It's a RP in the sense that people log into it, and they may already have some form of account with the church (Active Directory, LDAP, SQL Account Somewhere).
It's an IdP in the sense that it's an authoritative directory of all of the members, with email addresses, and supports enabling the people as users for login.
In short, ChurchCRM could depend on an external auth source like AD, or it could be an auth source for other systems that church members may want to log into.
I see the sign in issue as separate from the image capture issue. Any ideas on either front? should these be split into 2 separate requests?
Additionally -
Using OpenID and JWT for authentication would be really nice, then the site could be integrated into a Single-Sign-On ecology of applications.
This is not as useful as it would have been a few years ago. There's also a lot more restrictions in place.
As a result there is not only less information available, but it's harder to set up. Even if it is available in ChurchCRM, the person hosting ChurchCRM would have to apply for (and sometime pay for) API access.
