[aerogear-dev] aerogear-js Mozilla's Persona authentication adapter

hello, while looking at AGJS-122 and the possibility to add an authentication adapter which is based on Mozilla's Persona sign-in system, I was thinking of the following API: // Construct an AeroGear.Authentication.adapters.Persona var persona = AeroGear.Auth({ name: 'persona', type: 'Persona', settings: { verificationEndpoint: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/verify" } }).modules.persona; // use login to initiate the Mozilla's Persona authentication procedure. login enables the BrowserID and generates a signed assertion which contains the user's email address // on assertion generation call the verification service persona.login({ onAssertion: function ( assertion ) { // the verification API receives the assertion and the audience (our website URL) as parameters // for security reasons there must be an intermediate service between the client and the verification API. the reason for which we want the intermediate service // is that we want to ensure that the audience parameter is not hacked. I was thinking that it is better to avoid adding the persona.verify call inside our adapter // since this way we would force the user to create the intermediate service according our implementation. That's why the following line exists: persona.verify( { assertion: assertion }, { success: onSuccessVerification, error: onFailedVerification } ); }, error: onLoginError }); // logout persona.logout( onLogout ); I have added a working example in: https://github.com/tolis-e/aerogear-js-persona-authentication-poc and a first implementation sample: https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-js/pull/100 In order you'd like to try the working example on Android emulator, change lines: https://github.com/tolis-e/aerogear-js-persona-authentication-poc/blob/ma... and https://github.com/tolis-e/aerogear-js-persona-authentication-poc/blob/ma... to use host 10.0.2.2 and open the http://10.0.2.2:3000/persona-test.html page on the Android browser any thoughts, suggestions?
