Thread: Creating Secure Requests with Authsub?




Creating Secure Requests with Authsub?

Hi,

I notice in the manual[1] that it says that secure tokens
aren't supported  
due to a lack of support for passing certificates to obtain
the secure  
token, but I'm a bit confused about what this means. I've
registered my  
domain with Google and have the option to upload a
certificate to them,  
and then their documentation[2] gives instructions on what
to include in  
the Authorization header along with the token. With my
limited  
understanding of how this all works, it seems like making
the changes to  
support secure tokens wouldn't be all that difficult (though
would  
probably want to make use of Zend_Crypt...), but it's
entirely possible  
(probable?) that I'm completely missing something. If it is
more difficult  
than this/impossible, then if someone has the time to
explain why before I  
have a go at changing things, I'd be extremely grateful.

thanks,

Greg

secure tokens, because  
the AuthSub authentication does not support passing a
digital certificate  
to acquire a secure token."
