Darren,

I have got some questions regarding your posting, esp. the assertion.
1) cliqset.com would like to request an access token from google.com.
Sends a request with grant_type=assertion.

Request:
POST /token HTTP/1.1
Host: google.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

grant_type=assertion&assertion_type=http://webfinger.org/&;
assertion=eyJ1cmkiOiAiYWNjdDpkYm91bmRzQGNsaXFzZXQuY29tIiwibWFnaWNfc2lnbmF0dXJlIjogImFzZGxra2xhZnNkamtsZHNmamxraj0ifQ==

The assertion value in the request is a Base64 encoded JSON string
with two properties, uri and magic_signature. Example:

{
  "uri": "acct:dbou...@cliqset.com",
  "magic_signature": "asdlkklafsdjkldsfjlkj="
}


What is the meaning of the assertion? Does the uri represent an end-user or the client? How does the assertion represent an authorization, given that you try to make end-user authorization via browser redirect an optional step.

regards,
Torsten,
