Easy access to security related documentation
by Bruno Oliveira
Good morning, I would like to suggest a new structure to all the
documents related with security. We have a great content on
aerogear.org, at the same time, hard to find. Because some items are
located at guides sections, others can be found at specs section.
That said I would like to suggest the following section under "guides"
section.
- Security
- Cryptography (Include a documentation revamped and revisited), usage
instructions and etc
- Authentication and Authorization
- Client
- Using OAuth2 with Android
- Using OAuth2 with iOS
- Using OAuth2 with JavaScript
- Server
- How to setup the server and references to Keycloak
I don't want to drop any documentation already done, only to revisit,
organize and improve. Thoughts?

iOS SDK for OAuth2
by Bruno Oliveira
Good morning, I was reviewing our SDK for iOS and I have few questions:
1. For example at Shoot app. Why our users have to configure to insert
the app ID at Shoot-Info.plist and also insert the same app ID at
ViewController? I was just wondering that once the app ID is informed,
you don't need to inform it again.
2. We have a note:
"Because this demo securely stores OAuth2 tokens in your iOS keychain,
we chosen to use WhenPasscodeSet policy as a result to run this app you
need to have your passcode set"
I think that's amazing, but at the same time we instruct our devs, to
insert the client secret hard coded into the app. Something like:
let facebookConfig = FacebookConfig(
clientId: "XXXXXX",
clientSecret: "42",
scopes:["photo_upload, publish_actions"])
Doing the reverse engineering of the app, would permit me to get the
secret and mimic your FB app.
So I would like to remove the need to input the same information twice
and encrypt the client secret using password based encryption.
Let me know what do you think and I will start to file Jiras to myself.
Note: This is not an issue specific to iOS. All the projects will get
the same love and feedback.

Chrome Push Messages
by Lucas Holmquist
Hello,
now that the 1.0.0-final is pretty much out for the UnifiedPush Server, i’m starting to look at the new API that Chrome apps use for sending push notifications.
the TL;DR of it is, it’s basically the same as Android now.( no more refresh tokens and access tokens and such )
So the question is, do we need to have a deprecation period on what is currently there?
The v1 of the chrome pushMessaging api has become legacy and it is recommended to use the new stuff. https://developer.chrome.com/apps/cloudMessagingV1
While i have looked to deeply, it’s possible we can use the same “Variant” structure for Chrome Apps, Since they will be using the same Network
wdyt?

iOS push error
by Matthias Wessendorf
Hi Harini,
I opened a new thread for this to make it easier to follow up on this
subject.
I just tested my Push Server and iOS just worked fine. Here are a few
questions:
* Did you upload the correct .p12 file for the iOS variant?
* Or did you replace a development cert with a production cert ?
* Did it work a few days ago?
* Did you try to reboot the instance via the openshift UI ?
Thanks,
Matthias

Amazon Device Messaging (ADM) support on UPS
by Sebastien Blanc
Hi Folks,
I've just submitted a PR to support ADM (Amazon Device Messaging) on UPS[1]
, yay !
A few notes :
- The Java ADM connector is also managed by AeroGear [2], it's not yet
on Maven Central, so you will need to clone it and build it
- The Client SDK (and updated Cordova Plugin) is not yet available but
to make this PR testable, we have adapted a Cordova App that Amazon use as
sample to show ADM, this fork will register with UPS [3], this app contains
also all the instructions to get started
- About the client SDK, FireOS (Amazon's OS) is almost "just" Android,
so we should be able to reuse most of our Android Lib [4], we jsut need to
remove the GCM part and use the ADM library instead. I will start work on
that today and ping our Android gods to see which is the best way to do
that.
So anyone who has a Amazon Tablet, please give it a shot and report on the
PR !
Have fun !
Sebi
