    I was just giving an OpenID/Oauth history lesson to some interns, which meant I reference LiveJournal. “What’s LiveJournal?”

    “Tumblr before Tumblr...”

    May I help by providing all the questions that I ask myself after being new to and diving into the OpenId Connect subject?
    Aaron Parecki
    Yes that would be great! Feel free to send me a link to a blog post or write me an email!

    Thanks, what are the implications of storing the tokens in the browser? Is Auth Code Flow with a backend server much more secure?
    Aaron Parecki
    yeah, having a backend is much more secure. I feel like this needs to be my next blog post.

    @oktadev @oauth_2 @aaronpk What is the current OpenId Connect recommendation for a SPA without a dedicated backend, is it Auth Code Flow + PKCE in Browser?
    #oauth #openidconnect
    Aaron Parecki
    Yep exactly, I wrote some sample code for doing that here: https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/05/01/is-the-oauth-implicit-flow-dead

    2. Another hotel franchise, even in another city, could issue a keycard to that same person. Possession of that keycard from another hotel franchise (IdP) does not allow the holder to access *any room* for that person at any hotel (relying party).

    1. Possession of the hotel keycard does *NOT* in any way prove you are the person who checked into the room it grants access to. Nobody should use the keycard to try to figure out who the person is.

    I like this analogy!

    A couple things that could make it better, especially for those who misuse/abuse OAuth for authentication:

    @aaronpk years ago, I wrote a little script that automatically converted a Keynote deck into individual PDF files (one per slide, vector, scalable) and then created a PPTX file out of the result. Not editable, obviously, but a nice shortcut. Sadly, I can’t find the script anymore!

    that's.... ridiculous and fantastic

    I just refuse. You can have pdf if you (quite reasonably) don’t want keynote.

    Keynote is just a better authoring environment than PowerPoint. And my choice of tool needs to be optimized for me, the author and not someone else’s desires.

    unfortunately it's going into a deck with a bunch of other slides womp womp

    That's not what we want! What would make the experience better for you?
    Aaron Parecki
    i mean the conversion worked reasonably well, it just still takes a lot of fiddling to get things looking just right, since there's always something that goes wrong with font sizes or alignment and such

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
