Hello Michal,
first I want to apologise for the late answer (again). I haven't been
at home the last few days and returned just a few hours ago.
I don't see any troubles when the user changes his password. Could you
please describe the problem you see?
Do we really need an email address or is a simple username enough? When
I click at "Iceweasel -> Set up Sync -> I have an Account -> I don't
have the device with me" it asks for account, password and recovery key.
So it seems like the username does not have to be an email address.
I don't see a point in having several usernames and passwords in one
ownCloud instance. In my opinion it is better to drop some features of
the user sync API instead of introducing another user management system.
Additionally an username like [email protected] easily could be
confused with an email address.
Regards,
Jakob

Hi,
What do you think? Please give me your ideas about this problem.

Hi,
Another issue is that sync client change email to some kind of hash
and use it as a user name so it will be also need to create user
table
to map this hash to owncloud user name.
There can be also troubles when user change owncloud user password.
So, I am waiting for discussion and ideas how to deal with user
management.

Hi,
These approach will cause a lot of trouble for example when users
change email they will lose access to their sync data. In my
opinion
it will be better to have sync login like this:
[email protected] or even owncloud_login@anydomain. What
do
you think about it?

Hi,
sorry for the late answer. I've been ways too busy last week.
On a first glance, the coding style looks fine.
I aggree with Michael that you should not implement another users
table. In
my opinion it's better to solve the problem the following way:
- in ownCloud the user has to enter it's email address (use the
same email
address as in "lost password", it's saved in preferences, appid =
"settings", configkey = "email"). The user can enter this email
using the
settings or the interface in your app.
- then the user does create a new account in firefox sync. If the
email does
not exist or the passwords do not match with the password of the
user, then
return an error code.

Hi,
Sorry for my late answer. I was moving my code to became an app .
Can you explain to me who the users are that you need to create
and
authenticate? Are these different people using the same Mozilla
sync? Are
these not users on the ownCloud instance?
User is mozilla sync service account. To this account user can
connect
his/her devices. There can't be integrated with existing owncloud
users because firefox needs first device to create new account
giving
email, password and retype password.
