Hi all, I'd like to hear others' take on Brock Allen's prior comment on the document:
5) For me personally in all the consulting I've done helping customers use > OIDC/OAuth over the past 7 years (since OIDC was released) I've never seen > anyone trying to do it this way. I do believe that some people try this > style, but I wonder if it's just because they don't know any better (so > lacking guidance) or is it really because they're actively trying to > mitigate the reverse proxy hop performance issue? If it's the former, then > I don't agree that it makes sense to formalize a less secure approach when > they simply need better guidance (which arguably is the "full BFF" > approach), and thus the motivation for the document is slightly weakened > (IMO). I don't have as much exposure to the way lots of different groups are implementing OAuth2/OIDC but I agree that this approach is novel for me, and I'd be interested to hear others' thoughts on that aspect before the document is adopted. Apologies if this is the wrong place to voice such a concern. I would still be very much interested in a discourse about the relative security and positives/negatives of this approach regardless of the outcome. Kind regards, Seán.
