Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hello out there,

I have questions regarding the OAuth2 SSO of EVE and the development of 3rd party apps.

I am developing a tool for myself and later my alliance to handle certain tasks.(Namely: Everything in one tool)

I want to use the CREST API as well. That means, I have to come across a way to use the SSO and retrieve a user auth token(as from the 3rd party developer guide).

I think of following:
- The User connects to my server app (with the client app)
- If the client doesn't have a server auth token OR it expired on the server side, request a new one
- - Server has a HTTP Server running and his own server thread.
- - Server creates a SSO URL and sends it to the client
- - The client opens the browser and user logs in
- - redirect_uri points to the server HTTP instance
- - Server stores the data, creates a app specific token and sends it the client for session usage.
- If client has an auth token AND sso token is valid:
- - continue normal stuff

Does this break the trust chain?

As far as I understand, I have to let the user add his credentials on the SSO website and retrieve my token. Am I allowed to set the redirect _uri to my server app and proxy the access_token there?

Thank you, Cade.

I didn't know and I will move it myself.

I thought, ESI and CREST are the same interface? Good to know they are different.
