| # User-Interactive Auth for SSO-backed homeserver | |||
There was a problem hiding this comment.
This looks cool and very comprehensive, but i’m a bit confused on what bits are actually proposed changes to the spec rather than implementation notes?
I think the bit which is confusing me is:
In theory, any clients that already implement the fallback process for unknown authentication types will work fine without modification.
If clients don’t need changes, why is a spec change needed?

I'll work to clarify the proposal section of this, but the short version is to add an m.login.sso type to the list of possible ui-auth types: https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.0#authentication-types.
The quoted sentence is meant to mean "if the client implements the fallback process already for other workflows it will probably work fine here too". I moved that around from Rich's original proposal and likely made it more confusing, sorry about that!

I removed a couple pieces and tried to clarify the value and changes that this is proposing.
… reference the specification.

I think I wrote most of this, so obviously it lgtm :).
I'd echo @turt2live's comments that we should emphasise that the only new thing here is the first paragraph of the proposal (a new authentication type). The rest is just a demonstration of how it works.

A few grammar nits/suggestions. I'm not an expert on UIAuth or SSO, but this seems largely sane.
