Re: [OAUTH-WG] Question regarding RFC 8628

[Torsten Lodderstedt <[e-mail]>]

Hi Hervé,

I assume you want to allow the TPP to send the PSU to the bank’s app on the same device?

In that case, why don’t you just make the bank’s authorization endpoint URL the universal link? If the universal link is defined on the smartphone (since the bank’s app is installed), the redirect will open the app. If the app is not installed, well, it will open the authorization endpoint in the browser. A very robust and simple approach.

There is an excellent article about this topic by Joseph Hernan on openid.net https://openid.net/2019/10/21/guest-blog-implementing-app-to-app-authorisation-in-oauth2-openid-connect/.

best regards,
Torsten.
