Persona

This is a Go package providing easy access to the Persona verification API.

Usage

Get the package:

$ go get github.com/sauerbraten/persona

Import the package:

import (
	"github.com/sauerbraten/persona"
)

Using persona works like this:

1. you write your own sign in handler
2. your sign in handler calls persona.VerifyAssertion() and passes your site's audience and the assertion you received with the sign in request from your site's javascript
3. persona.VerifyAssertion() returns a persona.Response
4. based on this response and on persona.Response.OK(), you either set a session cookie for access to your site or return an error, which should make your site's javascript call navigator.id.logout()

Example

There is an example implementation in example/. Run go run *.go in that directory to get a demo site running at localhost:8080.
