@aaronpk hi! I'm curious if you have thoughts on what this post explores https://infi.nl/nieuws/spa-necromancy/

(also yay, PSL and cookies. <-- This needs a real solution in the next several years.)

I don't see a mention of the "easy" option of just redirecting to the IdP to get a new token. With a well-configured IdP, that redirect step is almost instantaneous. And if you say it's not, chances are the fault is with the SPA loading too slow, so go fix that first.

  The article's first problem, I figured it's not awful to just ask users to re-auth. But it mentions the "Other similar things will break too". Redirects for those would still be a good direction to look?

  There's always a risk using query strings so it depends on what it's for. This is also only affecting cookies so you can still make API requests across domains if things are set up right.

  I might ask the author if they're avoiding that for some reason. Thanks. I'm still learning this whole area myself. Am I okay feeling weird about using query strings for comms between 2 domains, or are these just normal and don't have anything really valuable with them alone?
