How to use djang-websocket integrated with a customer authentication mechansim #220

Open aaaref opened 7 years ago

aaaref commented 7 years ago

For many stupid reasons and mistakes in the past, we are not using django authentication, now, how should we be using django-websocket-redis without django authentication?

jrief commented 7 years ago

If it's for the broadcast only, then go ahead with ws4redis as it is right now.

Otherwise, I strongly suggest to refactor your code to use Django authentication. Sooner or later you'll have to do it anyway.

wholeheartedly agreed that we should refactor to django authentication, but it takes weeks to finish.

From documentation, seems I can send notifs by session id, correct? what if I fetch anonyomous session_key from django and save it myself, so I can use to use notif_by_sessionkey instead of notif_by_user?

Aref.

Notify by sessionkey should work.

I would strongly suggest to store the session data in Redis as well, then you do not run into the risk of performing a blocking operation.

Remember: Green threads are only non-blocking, if monkey patched!

Yes, we have to save session data. And I see the point in saving in redis, so we dont run to the possible block of running into a blocking operation when fetching session key before socket operation.

And pls, can u elaborate further on this sentence: "Green threads are only non-blocking, if monkey patched" annd what exactly it means here? I only ask bcz u said "remember" and I feel like I have someething to learn here. I know green threads and I understand what is monkey patching. But, I dont understand the point here.

Much thanks for sharing your contribution and a million thanks for replying on this conversation.

Cheers.
