It is recommended you host your own permanent identity on your homepage on a domain that *you* own, but this notebook is useful for programatically creating temporary, experimental, throw away or test identities, and for explaining how it works. ~~~ import {identity} from '@endpointservices/identity' ~~~ ~~~js identity({ title: "Tom Larkworthy", // Optional link name // For RelMeAuth you can delegate signin to a third party like Github // Those profile have to backlink to this identity URL for the link to be usable for login me: [ "https://observablehq.com/@tomlarkworthy", "https://tomlarkworthy.endpointservices.net/", "https://github.com/tomlarkworthy", ], // For IndieAuth you can bring your own endpoints, but it's not necessary authorization_endpoint: "https://endpointservice.web.app/notebooks/@endpointservices/auth/deploys/authorization_endpoint/mods/X/secrets/endpointservices_secretadmin_service_account_key", token_endpoint: "https://endpointservice.web.app/notebooks/@endpointservices/auth/deploys/token_endpoint/mods/X/secrets/endpointservices_secretadmin_service_account_key" }) ~~~ ### Testing the identities You can use these identities with services that accept IndieAuth login like the IndieWeb [wiki](https://indieweb.org/) or the one below `35:T86a,md` ### How [RelMeAuth](http://microformats.org/wiki/relmeauth) works RelMeAuth allows a person to express which 3rd party profiles are theirs across different social sites. This is achieved by linking to their 3rd party profiles from their homepage AND backlinking their homepage from their 3rd party profiles with *rel="me"* hyperlinks. ~~~html <-- A visible rel="me" link --> My Github profile <-- An invisible rel="me" link --> ~~~ Once the person has identified themselves across different social sites, the "login with Github/Facebook/Google" can be used to identify that person using their public homepage URL as the identity key (not email). So if an authorization has the right Oauth client configured, it may use the 3rd party identity infrastructure to authenticate that person but use their custom identity URL as the *user_id*. By using a homepage URL you give your users the ability to switch social providers and give them control on what information they share. This is all you need to build stateful applications. To summarize, RelMeAuth is the technology that allows a homepage URL to be used as a user identifier, and describes how to link that identifier to existing Oauth 2.0 identity providers. ### How [IndieAuth](https://indieweb.org/IndieAuth) works IndieAuth allow a person to bring their own *authorization_endpoint* (and *token_endpoint*). It scans the identity URL looking for links with *rel="authorization_endpoint"*. Here is an example that uses [micro.blog](https://micro.blog/account/menus/40423) as an identity provider. ~~~html ~~~ But users are free to use whatever for the *authorization_endpoint* as long as it follows the [IndieAuth spec](https://indieauth.spec.indieweb.org/). Some people have *brought their own SMS verification*. In this notebook we supply an authorization_endpoint that authenticates anybody (like a public identity). `36:T703,function password_authorization_endpoint({ me, // function that returns a string or a string secret // Encrypted empty payload protected by password generated in @endpointservices/notebook-secret }) { return deploy("password_authorization_endpoint", async (req, res) => { const params = decodeJsonOrForm(req.body); if (req.method === 'GET') { res.send(` `) } else if (req.method === 'POST' && params.password) { try { await decode(params.password, secret); const code = randomId(16); await firebase.database().ref( `@endpointservices/password_authorization_endpoint/${code}` ).set({ me: typeof me === 'function' ? me() : me, timestamp: {".sv": "timestamp"} }) res.redirect(`${req.query.redirect_uri}?code=${code}&state=${req.query.state}`) } catch (err) { res.status(403).send(`Incorrect password: ` + err.message) } } else if (req.method === 'POST' && params.code) { const payload = (await firebase.database().ref( `@endpointservices/password_authorization_endpoint/${params.code}` ).once('value')).val() res.json({ "me": payload.me }); } else { res.status(400).send(`Unknown request method ${req.method}`) } }, { modifiers: ['terminal'] }); } 37:[{"id":"6793c52f1980b9ecd4a838f322eb23b5b57c8125d9ae80ea91408f7f8c3ae1b4d6fe5d77bda83ba60aeeeaef65799df723a146986e363c74219abd9383c15474","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/6793c52f1980b9ecd4a838f322eb23b5b57c8125d9ae80ea91408f7f8c3ae1b4d6fe5d77bda83ba60aeeeaef65799df723a146986e363c74219abd9383c15474","name":"logo.svg","type":"image/svg+xml","lastModified":1616097241783.096,"size":1606},{"id":"df501385ecbb382199076ccbc922bedf7ff4f3f8c2d21d25322ed7db4b5d8376aea5c0f8d6213d0ebc6bdd5bd3ef0860cba924468f5499515d43654c1d8e1df0","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/df501385ecbb382199076ccbc922bedf7ff4f3f8c2d21d25322ed7db4b5d8376aea5c0f8d6213d0ebc6bdd5bd3ef0860cba924468f5499515d43654c1d8e1df0","name":"Identity.png","type":"image/png","lastModified":1618909720892.396,"size":113950}] 32:{"id":"77f7c3c28a618766","slug":"identity","title":"Bring your own Identity with IndieAuth","thumbnail":"65cf5b9b08db46f871f70d0bd9f204ccd9bd756b98765389dcdcf1ac4df06e04","access_level":"public","create_time":"$D2021-03-18T10:09:57.858Z","update_time":"$D2022-02-04T21:21:49.018Z","view_time":null,"first_public_time":"$D2021-04-27T20:03:05.736Z","has_unpublished_edits":null,"fork":false,"stars":1,"starred":false,"owner":{"type":"team","id":"8d94490bed468d92","login":"endpointservices","name":"Endpoint Services","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/aa238f4bd0be02bb2364438ff6bfe17b74a7a58f5c04aa1a84d29dddc79bc15e","tier":"starter_2024"},"version":604,"publish_version":604,"role":null,"authored":false,"authors":[{"type":"individual","id":"5215f6ec4a999d40","login":"tomlarkworthy","name":"Tom Larkworthy","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/47327a8bc1966f2186dcb3ebf4b7ee6e4e7ab9a5c2a07405aff57200ea778f71","tier":null}],"members":[{"type":"individual","id":"5215f6ec4a999d40","login":"tomlarkworthy","name":"Tom Larkworthy","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/47327a8bc1966f2186dcb3ebf4b7ee6e4e7ab9a5c2a07405aff57200ea778f71","tier":null,"role":"editor"}],"comments":[],"custom_thumbnail":false,"trashed":false,"lapsed":null,"subscribed":null,"forks":0,"collection":{"id":"55fdeaf6306fb270","slug":"indieauth/2","title":"IndieWeb","owner":{"id":"8d94490bed468d92","login":"endpointservices","name":"Endpoint Services"}},"type":"notebook","body":{"title":"Bring your own Identity with IndieAuth","cells":[{"id":375,"value":"bannerImage(await FileAttachment(\"Identity.png\").url(), \"Bring your own Identity with IndieAuth\")","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","output":"$undefined","database":"$undefined"},{"id":0,"value":"$34","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","output":"$undefined","database":"$undefined"},{"id":460,"value":"weblogin","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","output":"$undefined","database":"$undefined"},{"id":448,"value":"$35","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","output":"$undefined","database":"$undefined"},{"id":210,"value":"md`## Implementation`","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","output":"$undefined","database":"$undefined"},{"id":58,"value":"function identity({\n title,\n authorization_endpoint,\n token_endpoint,\n me = [] // Array of {href:..., label:...} for transforming into rel=\"me\" links.\n} = {}) {\n const content = `\n${authorization_endpoint || token_endpoint ?\n`\\n ${authorization_endpoint ?\n `\\n `\n : ''}${token_endpoint ?\n `\\n `\n : ''}\n `:``}\n \n${me.map(me => `
