I’m programming an Android app, where I have to store pictures to some online data storage plus I want to use OpenID for authentication, so I don’t have to keep users and their passwords on my side of the server.
I’ve looked at LeanEngine, which does just that, but it’s a shame that you can only store your data to the Google Storage (and it’s running on Google App Engine). I want to store data on my own server.
My questions are:
- What software should I use on the server side of my linux to enable such a functionality?
- Is OpenID really such an advantage that I should use it. I mean, because there is a lack of support for that (for my own server to use), it can only be a burden and not exactly an advantage?
Basically I need to know what would you suggest for syncing pictures with an online data storage service, which needs to run on my own server.
Thank you
The most notable solution is AccountManager in Android, which I didn’t even know existed. Together with REST they are pretty great at achieving anything I want.
