allow-query-string-token

Use the allow-query-string-token stanza entry to control whether the authentication token can be obtained from the query string.

Syntax

allow-query-string-token = {true | false}

Description

The original OAuth specification allowed the authentication token to be obtained from the query string. The specification has since been adjusted to remove this option as it can be a security risk to embed authentication information within the URL. This configuration entry can be used to control whether authentication tokens found in the query string will be used.

Options

true
The OAuth EAS will search the query string for authentication tokens.
false
The OAuth EAS will ignore any authentication tokens found in the query string.

Usage

Optional.

Default value

false

Example

allow-query-string-token = true
