Requirements

• Network management
  • Administrator dictates list of networks that app developers are allowed to connect to
• Enhance developer app to allow app-registration across multiple networks
  • App profile page: configure multiple Network IDs, API key, secret

Use Cases

• Network Admin App
  • Registering a new network. Runningco, Voomaxer, and Facebook are all networks. In this use case, Voomaxer is a ringside server and also hosts the Voomaxer app. Runningco and Facebook use IDM to proxy app requests from their servers to Voomaxer. Voomaxer provides a "Network Administration" page that allows the admin to add/edit/remove a network with the following properties:
    • trust_key: ID remote network is identified by
    • trust_name: name of remote network
    • trust_auth_url: restserver URL or API url
    • login_url: points to login.php endpoint
    • canvas_url: fragment before app canvas URL
    • web_url: web root URL
    • social_url: base of IDM proxy URL, two social endpoints, trust.php and map.php
    • auth_class: class that is module which does auth (empty)
    • post_map_url: for custom registration procedure - URL user will be redirected to after mapping. Example - in runningco, 1) register 2) map 3) present things to do in post_map_url.

• Enhancements to Developer App
  • App developer specifies API and secret keys for each network app connects to, and can add/edit/remove keys.
  • Privacy concern: app developers might not want to register all their API and secret keys with Ringside, is there a way to address this before release?
