Description

Originally submitted by dgtonge (Dave Tonge) on 2019-07-31

We discussed on the call adding a section around supporting mobile apps on auth journeys.

My suggestion would be that this section mentions:

  • FAPI RW supports mobile apps using standard OAuth based redirects using claimed HTTPS scheme
  • Some details on how claimed https works - with Apple / Android specific instructions
  • Specific recommendations on how user agents for RPs can support both claimed https and normal https links with the best user experience (this is not easy!!!)
  • Recommendations on how to support multiple brands (e.g. multiple discovery docs…)
  • Explanation of the use-cases where FAPI-CIBA is applicable and any implementation considerations
