Use OAuth authentication

Open grote opened this issue 11 years ago • 5 comments

Most libraries that authenticate against social networks use OAuth to not store the users password. It would by nice, if diaspy would also use OAuth.

I will look into this.

I think this will only work if Diaspora has an OAuth-API. Since this API impersonates AJAX-Calls from the Diaspora-Frontend, it will use the same authentification mechanism that Diaspora uses. If Diaspora decides to implement an API that uses OAuth and Diaspy switches to that API, there may be OAuth. :)

@Faldrian Yup. But since we don't have a proper OAuth API (we don't, am I right?) now it's not a possibility really...

@grote I'm sorry but currently I must mark it as a "wontfix". When D* will get real API I'll look into it once more.

@marekjm No problem. I see that there's nothing you can do except waiting for a proper API.
