How to structure authenticated app?

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

I have been working for a while on an app that uses createHTTPClient in a lot of different places to hit my API. Now, I have enabled authentication for a lot of my API services. As expected, I am receiving 

{error:"access denied"}
Is there a global hook where I can check for access_denied and move the user to the login screen? Should I wrap HTTPClient and centralize this check myself? How would you recommend I structure an app for authentication?

Hi

Have you seen the new additions to the httpClient that are in Ti SDK 3.0.0 GA?

If you have set up authentication then these should help you out.

  • Those docs are pretty light. How can I find out what type of authentication that is related to / how the credentials are persisted / etc? Also, is there a way to see / clear the cookies that my server is using for this? It looks like headers are getting stripped out of my responses.

    • On iOS this will enable NTLM authentication
    • For Android, custom AuthSchemeFactory

    You can find more here in the ticket.

    You are going to need to provide some code to work out why you are losing things.
