[14:50:08 CST(-0600)] <athena> or . . .

[14:50:17 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah

[14:50:22 CST(-0600)] <athena> i think that'd be the best strategy

[14:50:46 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah

[14:50:55 CST(-0600)] <athena> i suspect most schools aren't really going to be able to use oauth because so many of them are relying on clearpass for something

[14:51:00 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> so the native app would present the login.wisc.edu page and then deal with the oauth

[14:51:02 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> right

[14:51:07 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> we're doing shib delegated auth (tongue)

[14:51:11 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah (smile)

[14:51:13 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> so we need central oauth to make it work

[14:51:17 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah

[14:51:19 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> uportal side oauth won't cut it

[14:51:30 CST(-0600)] <athena> and of course that's a really awesome thing to do conceptually in the long run anyway

[14:51:36 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yup

[14:51:41 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> that is part of our issue

[14:51:56 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> is convincing the powers the be that having an institutional oauth service is a very good thing

[14:51:59 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah

[14:52:02 CST(-0600)] <athena> that's very awesome (smile)

[14:52:10 CST(-0600)] <athena> and we'd definitely be interested in umobile supporting oauth

[14:52:15 CST(-0600)] <athena> just haven't had anyone that needs it yet

[14:52:19 CST(-0600)] <athena> definitely good stuff

[14:52:25 CST(-0600)] <athena> it's the Right Thing, of course

[14:52:41 CST(-0600)] <athena> rather than our current strategy of stepping through forms in the background

[14:53:24 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah

[14:53:38 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> our middleware guys weren't so impressed by that idea (smile)

[14:54:45 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah

[14:54:55 CST(-0600)] <athena> and that seems to me to be a reasonable response (smile)

[14:55:12 CST(-0600)] <athena> oauth shoudl be more achievable now that CAS has a new oauth module (just came out)

[14:55:22 CST(-0600)] <athena> and uportal's moving that direction

[14:55:25 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> well with luck maybe we can be the school that triggers the oauth work in umobile

[14:58:09 CST(-0600)] <athena> yay!! (smile)

[14:58:14 CST(-0600)] <athena> lol these new icons are so cute

[14:58:15 CST(-0600)] <athena> https://github.com/Jasig/uMobile-app/pull/1/files

[14:58:24 CST(-0600)] <athena> i like the happy little washer

[14:58:24 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> lol

[14:58:25 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> nice

[14:58:31 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah

[14:58:47 CST(-0600)] <athena> andrew jokingly mentioned the MIT random house bathroom status

[14:58:58 CST(-0600)] <athena> and then requested that i not actually make a portlet for that ;P

[15:01:43 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> lol
