I have developed a web site that requires user registration and authentication for some sections. Now I’m looking for a best practice to implement registration and authentication from a mobile app connecting to the server. This app will communicate using json with the server. I was thinking about HTTP digest, but I’d like to hear some one else opinion.
Just for the records, server is written in Grails (groovy) and uses spring security for authentication.
Basically you should post “j_username” and “j_password” to “/j_spring_security_check?ajax=true”.
The spring-security plugin installs a LoginController, check it out to see the default exposed actions for ajax-based login.
