All, Here is the scenario; Our website uses APPID-1 for auth and extended permissions

  • 0

All,

Here is the scenario;

  • Our website uses APPID-1 for auth and extended permissions (MainSite)
  • Our Page Tab App uses APPID-1 for auth & extended permission
    (TabApp-1), and this adds the auth_token to our DB on MainSite

However we want to add another tab that uses APPID-1 for auth_token acquisition, is this possible?

Proposed scenario;

  • MainSite – APPID-1 acquire auth_token
  • TabApp-1 – APPID-1 acquire auth_token
  • TabApp-2 – APPID-1 acquire auth_token

I should note that non of our TabApps actually need the auth_token, its our MainSite backend app that uses the auth_token to perform actions for the user. However we want to make it easier for our users to use the site, and many come via our Fan Page.

So can we have TabApp-2 pop the Auth Dialog for APPID-1 with is not TabApp-2’s APPID?

    I guess you would have to initiate the JS SDK in TabApp-2 with APPID-1. Server-side you would receive a signed_request with TabApp-2 credentials but you can just it that if you work only with the JS API.

    I guess you could validate the assumption with a prototype in less than 30 minutes. Have you done that yet? If so, what were the results?
