Request Flow

Request Flow

The following sequence diagram describes the general request flow. It shows where account provisioning and token minting are happening:

    %% we have comments!! \o/
    participant user as User
    participant client as Client
    participant proxy as ocis-proxy
    participant idp as IdP
    participant accounts as ocis-accounts
    participant ldap as corporate LDAP server

    user->>+client: What is the content of my home?

        client->>+proxy: PROPFIND 
Bearer auth using oidc auth token Note over client,proxy: What is in a bearer token?
The spec recommends opaque tokens.
Treat it as random byte noise. Note over client,proxy: the proxy MUST authenticate users
using ocis-accounts because it needs
to decide where to send the request %% Mention introspection endpoint for opaque tokens %% idp uses jwt, so we can save a request %% either way the token can be used to look up the sub and iss of the user %% or is token check enough? proxy->>+idp: GET /userinfo alt userinfo succeeds idp-->>proxy: 200 OK Note over proxy,accounts: Content-Type: application/json
