BigTent

A ProxyIdP service for bridging major IdPs who lack support for the BrowserID protocol.

No user data is stored, except their email address which is stored in a secure session in a cookie in the user's browser.

Initial launch will target yahoo.com email addresses. Follow up releases can enable other popular email providers.

Architecture

The BigTent service will be a new service that looks like Vinz Clortho, our Mozilla IdP. BrowserID currently understands *primary* and *secondary* email addresses. A new class *proxyidp* will be added for a whitelist of TLDs.

  • gmail.com
  • yahoo.com
  • hotmail.com

When a user enters a proxy email address, instead of being processed like a secondary, they will be authenticated via BigTent. The user will see an OpenID, OAuth, or other 3rd party screen hosted by their email provider which asks if they wish to log in to browserid.org. If they agree, we'll get confirmation that they own that email address and we'll issue assertions on their behalf.

The issuer for these certificates will be bigtent.

Environments

Play with BigTent! The Persona dev environment is BigTent enabled for yahoo.com and gmail.com.
