Question by Brendan · Oct 05, 2015 at 12:38 AM ·

Photon's Custom Authentication with PlayFab

johntube
started a topic on Sat, 31 January 2015 at 6:40 PM

Since the P-P (Photon - PlayFab) integration could take long(er)...I started working on both services separately. What I'm basically doing is using the logging into PlayFab first then ["anonymously"] connecting to Photon using PlayFabId and username/displayname, then I'm calling CloudScript code with each Photon Op/Event.

I want to know if it is possible to also make use of Photon's custom authentication by setting PlayFab as "the authentication service provider"...I couldn't find a suitable API URI to put as authentication URL in Photon dashboard. I don't think AuthenticateSessionTicket will do (there is no request/response example like the other API calls by the way).

Correct - the authentication component is part of the update we are working on. We'll have more information on this in an upcoming release. For now, please continue to use the two systems in parallel.

@johntube Can you elaborate a bit more on how you got your system to work?

If Photon is 'anonymous' then in theory there is no authentication on Photon - the PlayFabID is used just as an identifier. Correct?


johntube said on Wed, 04 March 2015 at 11:02 AM

@Anthony yes, correct ! unfortunately we're still waiting for Photon to support Custom Authentication provided by PlayFab (or the opposite, PlayFab to be supported as a Custom Authentication provided for Photon !).


Brendan Vanous said on Mon, 06 April 2015 at 7:30 PM

For those monitoring this thread, the Photon integration is now in beta. If you'd like to be added to the waiting list (we're staging it out, so that we check for any issues before going broad), please email us at beta@playfab.com. Thanks!
