URL Token Authentication in MyApps
Hello,

We are looking for a way to log into myApps directly by passing URL params.

We know that we can achieve this by passing the user and password to the URL, as defined here:http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r2:Concept_myApps#Supported_URL_Parameters

However, we need, if possible, to authenticate through a token. That token would have a validity / expiration date.

The idea would be the following: 1) we would request that token, setting the expiration time or duration, and 2) we would use that token to authenticate the user by passing it in the URL.

Is there any public API to make this work? We have been searching the SDK docs, but couldn't find it.

We are integrating Innovaphone into a portal, and would like to prevent the users from knowing the password from MyApps if possible. The scenario is the following: 1) users would log into our portal and 2) users would click a link from there to access MyApps, without knowing the credentials.

The benefit would be preventing the users from having uncontrolled access to MyApps.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards

Re: URL Token Authentication in MyApps
Hello Alejandro,

at the moment we have no functionality that enables us to accept a token as a URL parameter.

We support OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow in myapps starting with V13r3.
You can find some documentation for this here:
https://sdk.innovaphone.com/13r3/doc/appwebsocket/myApps.htm
Also a detailed reference for OAuth 2.0 implementation and settings her:
https://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r3:Concept_OAuth2_Windows_Authentication

Not sure how to integrate it with your system. May be you can elaborate more, what is your backend for authorisation.

Best Regards

Re: URL Token Authentication in MyApps
Hello Andreas,

thanks for your response.

We are going to review the OAuth 2.0 documentation to check if it would be a valid approach.

Best Regards,
Alejandro
