Topic: Developing Facebook Platform Applications with Rails / Integrate into Existing Application

Hi all,

I also have existing application with internal authentication, and we need to be able to import/install user’s widget ( combination of various choices that user selected during regestration) via Facebook app. I have a facebook application that does that without problems. But my question is what would be the bast way of linking facebook id to my local user account?

Currently i do the following

• upon app instalation I ask user to put in his application’s login
• I link his login ( if found ) with facebook_id

Though it works fine for me, there is a big security concern in it. Anyone can come in and just choose somebody else’s link thus overriding facebook id of the other user.

Any ideas, suggestions would be greatly appriciated on that topic.

BTW, really awesome book in couple of hours I was up and running.
Thanks a lot Mike
