CIBA: Naming of the 3 modes

Issue #82 resolved
Dave Tonge created an issue

The consensus (as recorded here https://bitbucket.org/openid/mobile/issues/66/ciba-notification-mode-to-be-notification) for the CIBA draft is that there should be three modes.

The naming of these modes is quite difficult, but here is an initial attempt that Brian and I have worked on:

  • Polling: when configured in Polling mode, the Client will poll the token endpoint to get a response with the tokens.
  • Notification Callback: when configured in Notification Callback mode, the OP will send a request to a callback uri previously registered by the Client with the unique identifier returned from the Backchannel Authentication Endpoint.
  • Delivery Callback: when configured in Delivery Callback mode, the OP will send a request with the tokens to a callback uri previously registered by the Client.

It would be good to get feedback on these names. We are open to alternative names as well.

    John came up with: poll, ping and push as another option.

    I agreed to email the list with a variation based on this to give other WG members a chance to input.
