Description
Could you clarify in your documentation whether Yahoo BBAuth registration is possible using an internal endpoint URL. It does not seem to support that at the moment, indicating that Drupal-ers are using a module without unit testing it internally?
#1
I'm not sure what you mean by "internal endpoint URL". Can you please clarify?
#2
Internal to my network. i.e. trying to access server 192.168.0.1 from client 109.168.0.2, neither of which are world viewable (behind firewall etc.)
The goal is to test the functionality internally before exposing a on live site ...
#3
You have to have a publicly accessible link in order for Yahoo bbauth to send back your validation credentials. So, no, there is no way to completely test it without having a publicly accessible site somewhere. I'm sure this is true of any auth system (OpenID, etc.) where you are authenticating against a 3rd party user database.
#4
Thanks for confirming my assumption. Could this be explicitly added to the documentation? It would help newcomers who (such as myself) come to this module after implementing GMap, which uses Google's API, without the need for a world viewable test site. Thanks.
