how to generate a secret url, like http://www.example.com/?q=node/authkey=Gv1sRgCNyWrezOxed2iAE#, similar to the URL of Picasa unlisted album? this could enable anonymous users have their own page without sign-up / sign-in.

searching around, i noticed the module OAuth may be able to do this, but it seems over complicated. all needed is just a randomly generated long string for each anonymous user. is there a straightforward way to do this?

i'd appreciate if anyone can shed some light. Thanks!

or is there a way to use md5 checksum together with a token (with the help of token module), e.g. 'md5([user-id])? tried hard but couldn't figure this out. any help is much appreciated!

found a similar ask, and seems resolved: http://drupal.org/node/409778. will try the cck+pathauto approach.

H, I am currently trying to do the same and was lead to this module:

Hope that helps as well. Have you been able to create what you needed? If so, how did you go about it? Are there any security concerns?

Thanks.
