Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As as Janeway Press Administrator whose Press supports multiple journals and repositories, I want to reduce the burden of updating my ORCID API client's Redirect URIs every time we add a new journal/repository or changes its URL.

Describe the solution you'd like
Create an "ORCID processing" page at the Janeway Press level to serve as the Press-wide Redirect URI.

Include in the ORCID OAuth link a param which indicates the journal or repository the account holder should be directed to after they return to Janeway from ORCID.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing ORCID OAuth link and its return/redirect handling for journal and repository flows. Define the Press-level ORCID processing page and the parameter that identifies the destination. Done means one Press-wide redirect URI supports multiple journals and repositories and returns account holders to the indicated destination.
