Firebase 自定义身份验证与 Gigya

Question

My goal is to integrate Firebase Realtime Database within my Android app which already has an authentication layer (Gigya) that isn't managed by me.

The DB structure could be:

{
 "users": 
     "gigya_id1": {
          // user's objects
    },
     "gigya_id2": {
          // user's objects
    }, 

    .....
}

I also want to add a little of security and rules to avoiding that a user can't READ/WRITE other users stuff.

I read about firebase custom auth but as I said, I don't have access to backend (and there is not doc about gigya custom token and firebase integration)

Does anyone have experienced with an integration like this one?

Answer 1

What you want to do can be achieved pretty easily.

You can pull the JWT from Gigya whenever a user authenticates by calling to

gigya.accounts.getJWT()

And pass the JWT in the response from Gigya to the custom auth method in Firebase, following this guidelines: https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/custom-auth
