Hello Filip,

our draft covers and is compatible to what's called "simple mode" (both with and without prompt) in draft-sakimura-oauth-wmrm-00/-01.

We do not consider the relay mode. The relay mode is motivated by the use of the implicit grant which is discouraged nowadays.

The main differences to draft-sakimura-oauth-wmrm-01 can be summarized as follows:

 * In general we do not focus on "modes" but instead on the actual
   communication using the postMessage API. Our draft contains examples
   for the format/structure for the messages sent using the postMessage
   API.
 * Our draft enables iframe flows with user interaction while
   draft-sakimura-oauth-wmrm-01 only covers iframe flows without user
   interaction.
 * Our draft contains security considerations describing threats and
   giving recommendations to address them.
 * Our draft briefly discusses the implications of the 3rd party cookie
   phaseout for iframes.

Our main motivation is the belief that there is a need for a specification defining how to securely use the postMessage API for OAuth auth. responses. The research of my co-authors underlines this need [1].

As I said, at the last OSW there was agreement that it would be a good idea to write an RFC for a postMessage-based response mode. draft-sakimura-oauth-wmrm-00 was expired years ago and seemed to be inactive when we started to work on our own draft. In our opinion it is not a great option to rely on an expired draft. As for customers I work with this is not an option at all; they want to implement and use final RFCs whenever possible.

We are looking for feedback from the WG and are open to collaborate with the authors of draft-sakimura-oauth-wmrm if they want to join the efforts.


Best regards,
Karsten

Hello Karsten,

Can you summarize in what ways is your draft compatible with draft-sakimura-oauth-wmrm-00? Which of the described modes in Nat's document does it cover?

There are existing implementations (both partial and full) of draft-sakimura-oauth-wmrm-00 so if your draft is not compatible I would recommend not using the same response mode name/identifier in your proposal.

What prompted you to start a new draft rather than using draft-sakimura-oauth-wmrm-00?

S pozdravem,

    Hi all,

    we would like to ask again for feedback on our draft for the
    "web_message" response mode:
    
*https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-meyerzuselha-oauth-web-message-response-mode/
    *

    We think it would be very helpful for implementers and developers
    to specify a secure standard for a postMessage API-based response
    mode.

    Hi everyone,

    at the last OSW the topic of a response mode based on the
    postMessage API came up. This approach is already used by
    multiple parties (e.g., Google) but lacks standardization.

    There was some sense of agreement that it would be a good idea to
    create an RFC defining this response mode to counter security
    flaws in individual implementations and improve interoperability.

    Because the efforts in the past were long expired (draft -00 of
    https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-sakimura-oauth-wmrm/
    expired in 2016) we took the initiative and started to work on a
    new ID for the "web_message" response mode.

    *We would like to to ask the members of the working group for
    feedback on our draft:
    
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-meyerzuselha-oauth-web-message-response-mode/*


    I see that "draft-sakimura-oauth-wmrm" has been recently updated.
    However, there have not been any changes to its contents. What
    are the plans of the authors for this draft?

    Best regards
    Karsten
