Hi Torsten, I'm very glad to see this draft, I think it's definitely needed in this space. Here are some of my thoughts on the draft.
> "request_uri": "urn:example:bwc4JK-ESC0w8acc191e-Y1LTC2" Is it acceptable for the AS to return just an opaque string, rather than something prefixed with "uri:*"? I don't think anyone would be confused about copypasting the exact string from the "request_uri" response into the "request_uri" parameter even if it didn't start with "urn:". If, for whatever reason, it is required that this value is actually a URI, is there some expected namespace to use other than "example"? I worry that if all the examples in the spec are just "urn:example:bwc4JK-ESC0w8acc191e-Y1LTC2" then developers will end up using the text "example" because they don't understand why it's there, and then it serves no purpose really. > The pushed authorization request endpoint shall be a RESTful API I would drop the term RESTful and just say "HTTP API", as this description is arguably RESTful at best. > Depending on client type and authentication method, the request might > also include the "client_id" parameter. I assume this is hinting at the difference between public clients sending only the "client_id" parameter and confidential clients sending only the HTTP Basic Authorization header which includes both the client ID and secret? It would probably be helpful to call out these two common examples if I am understanding this correctly, otherwise it seems pretty vague. > The "request_uri" value MUST be generated using a cryptographically > strong pseudorandom algorithm I assume this includes the use of a random number inside of a JWT, in case the AS wants to use JWTs as the "request_uri" parameter"? If so, it's probably worth spelling that out as it kind of reads like it has to be literally a random string at first glance. That's all for now, thanks! ---- Aaron Parecki aaronparecki.com @aaronpk On Sat, Sep 21, 2019 at 1:02 PM Torsten Lodderstedt <tors...@lodderstedt.net> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I just published a new draft that Brian Campbell, Dave Tonge, Filip Skokan, > Nat Sakimura and I wrote. > > https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-lodderstedt-oauth-par-00 > > It proposes a new endpoint, called "pushed authorization request endpoint”, > that allows the client to push the Authorization Request payload with the AS > on a backchannel connection instead of a front channel interaction.
