Simplify Authentication Workflow

Open benrules2 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Populating the configuration is challenging, especially for non-tech savvy users. Improvements to the authentication workflow would be much appreciated.

Some possible improvements of the top of my head:

  • Auto-detect the iframerpc calls of interest for the cookie and issue_token
  • Initiate a web session automatically, and scrape everything from the cookies automatically (best case)
  • Automate the auth workflow with selenium, and download the interesting network activity to disk?

*This is related to the UBC Animal Welfare collaboration effort

Yes, this change makes sense. I am looking at potentially simplifying how the tokens are acquired through the Google authorization workflows. There are promising leads, but I need to spend some more time investigating.
