Hello,

For [1] I want to discuss a RESTful API for resetting the (Master)Secret of a PushApp and/or a Variant.

Good idea ! 

Initially I'd like to propose an empty PUT request against an 'reset' endpoint, specific to the ID of the PushApp/Variant (see [2] and [3]).

To give a congrete example: Resetting the Secret of an Android Variant would result in a PUT against this URL:

https://SERVER:PORT/CONTEXT/rest/applications/{pushApplicationID}/android/{variantID}/reset

The CURL command would look like:

curl -3 -v -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-type: application/json"
  -X PUT
https://SERVER:PORT/CONTEXT/rest/applications/{pushApplicationID}/android/{variantID}/reset

And resetting a PushApp will be of this form ? 

https://SERVER:PORT/CONTEXT/rest/applications/{pushApplicationID}/reset

Does resetting a pushApp, implicitly reset the Variant Secret ? 

 

The response body to that PUT request contain (JSON) details about the specific Android Variant (using Android as an example here):

Not sure if we have to return all the details ... Is returning the secret not enough ?  

{
  "id":"402880e43fa95bb3013faf3c41b40005",
  "name":"Android App",
  "description":"The Android Variant",
  "variantID":"04e9f747-d256-4a24-a0ac-29b9a15e37b1",
  "secret":"70135d26-696d-426a-8183-e1fd0fcb86fe",
  "developer":"admin",
  "instances":[],
  "googleKey":"My Google API Key",
  "projectNumber":"My Project Number / Sender ID"
}

Admin UI

On the Admin UI the HTTP PUT request could be triggered through a button, the actual execution would happen after giving "approval" on a 'confirmation' button...

On the long run, we could make it more 'complex', e.g. sending an email, containing an URL to give approval to the reset etc - but for now, I'd like to keep the reset simple..

Any thoughts ?
