How to auto login a user into Spark?

sandeep21

Use case: we are embedding Spark in our web application so that our web user can access Spark within the same application environment. As such, we don't want our user to have to separately log into Spark. Is there an API call, or OAuth-based mechanism to avoid this dual login scenario?

Visit https://developer.ciscospark.com/ for API documentation and tutorials.

Thanks Jason - is there a particular tutorial you had in mind? We've looked in this Cisco DevNet Learning Labs -- but haven't quite figured out how to make it work for our user scenario. In other words, we want to avoid having our users to log into Spark, their having authenticated with our app should be good enough for them to access Spark directly (while our app manages the mapping their app login to their Spark account)

Nothing specific,  but did you check out these: https://developer.ciscospark.com/samples-tutorials.html

If these don't help, you can interact with API support through either email or a spark room https://developer.ciscospark.com/support.html

Just a thought: when you embed the web based Spark in an app or other web-page, you will always have to deal with the web-based authentication.

oAuth allows an application to do things on behalf of a user. You will have to write the functionality to list messages, list rooms, being able to write a message etc.

Maybe in the (near?) future Spark Widgets could be of help: https://developer.ciscospark.com/widgets.html
