Introduction ============ SUAS stands for Simple User Authentication & Session. It is a package for Google AppEngine that provides: * a simple user authentication implementation in Datastore as an alternative to Google Accounts * cookie-only HMAC-SHA256 signed sessions, no memcached/Datastore Install ======= Place the ./suas directory somewhere under your app_dir/ and import it. Generate a new suas.session.SECRET_KEY. This is CRUCIAL! Usage ===== users.py * describes the models for User, UserSignup. session.py * provides a session-capable RequestHandler. Subclass it for all your handlers and you can use session as an attribute of the handler. auth_handlers.py * provides user authentication handlers: /login, /logout, /signup, /confirmsignup, @login_required. You'll need to adapt to your app. Utility ======= session.login_required a decorator ditto google.appengine.api.users session.flash_msg set this attribute and it's automatically popped to session.flash_msg of the next request Demo ==== The root directory is a fully functional signup/login/logout app. It is live at http://suas-demo.appspot.com
