Why should the role be in the token if you have the userinfo endpoint? Or why should there even be a (list of) role(s) in the token if it’s only a means to have access to an endpoint? 🤔

Some people like to use JWTs for access tokens or other self-encoded mechanisms. There are definitely trade-offs.

I once bought into the "if you don't post to your own website you don't have anything valuable to offer on technology" theory but eventually realised there are other things in tech and, shock horror, even the Web, than posting on your own website. I still see it being thrown around as an excuse to dismiss out of hand work that people don't understand immediately and find directly relevant to their specific needs though.
Posting this on my own website, so it must be true. https://rhiaro.co.uk/2019/06/theory

echoing the rest of that conversation, I think the larger point is the inverse.

If you *only* post your thoughts about decentralization on platforms that actively work against decentralization and cause real-world harm to people, then maybe it's okay to ignore those thoughts.

Nice write up! Question: if an authenticated user gets a new/extra role, does the server create a new JWT or is there a way to update the existing token?

if your access tokens are just a reference to a record in a database (the hotel key is just a number, and the doors look up access info in a central server), then you can update the roles in the existing token.

The analogy continues... with JWT access tokens, that's like encoding access data into the hotel key card. You'd have to go back to the front desk to get a new card.

The answer is it depends on how your access tokens / hotel key cards are implemented!

Do you know where you can find the .well-known/openid-configuration on the apple url?
Do they even use it?

I haven't found it yet. I wouldn't be surprised if they just don't have that endpoint

WebKit on iOS has always been the same engine as macOS. It was just significantly constrained due to the technical limitations of early iPhones. In iOS 13 we have removed many of these old limitations.

This book by @anomalily definitely helped me get a handle on my money situation. 💵 You should have seen me before. 🙈 And now her Kickstarter for the second print run is just shy of the $10,000 stretch goal! Let's get it over the top! 🚀

Thanks Alex. Where do you see the biggest gap that will help you push forward?

The docs are also wrong in a few places. Happy to provide details via DM or email.

I have so many questions for you! I was able to create a proof of concept, but would love to know some of the missing details. The current documentation is not complete enough to make a working app, I had to guess things based on my knowledge of OIDC.
