    @mxstbr The idea of putting keys on your site fits the #IndieWeb spirit very well, I invite you to present it on @indiewebcamp IRC and wiki.

    Today I extended @cweiske's sequence diagram to cover the whole IndieAuth for Micropub flow. Hope it's helpful! More info here: http://indiewebcamp.com/obtaining-an-access-token

    I think this is cool β€” Working on a version of the IndiePub plugin for @withknown that does its own authorization

    @kylewmahan Sweet! You should try using JWT for generating the auth codes, so that you don't need to store anything! Basically you generate a signed string with all of the data you need (user, scope, expiration, etc), and that is the auth code. That way you can get the data from the auth code without needing to look anything up in the database. Check out how my token endpoint does it:

    https://github.com/aaronpk/IndieAuth-Token-Endpoint/blob/master/controllers/controller.php#L100

    There's more background on this concept here: http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2013/11/17/my-favorite-database/

    Happy to say https://indieauth.com is now running on 3 physically separate servers behind DNS load balancing!

    Took quite a bit of refactoring to make the three servers not require a shared backend. Lots of taking advantage of storing state "on the wire" rather than in a database. If you notice any weirdness or glitches, definitely let me know!

    If you'd like to volunteer a server to help share the load, let me know. It requires Nginx, Ruby, Redis and Memcache.

  • I wanted to comment on a Blogspot post as +ManabaseCrafter.  Blogspot offers… (plus.google.com)
    So I thought, this morning, "I'll add a gem to http://manabasecrafter.com to act as an OpenID server." But all the gems are obsolete. Then I thought "Didn't I use something called MyOpenID at one point?" They've closed. Then I thought "Didn't Google offer one?" They discontinued it last month. Then I thought "I'll do it the dumb way and just use the WordPress plugin that does it on a dummy site." That plugin is no longer supported and incompatible with the current version of WordPress. Then I thought "I'll try it in raw PHP." There is apparently one working library, and all they offer is an example server "to give you an idea of how to write your own implementation."

    I’m much better at products than protocols. I'm so thankful that people like @aaronpk (& several others) designed #indieauth and #micropub.

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.
