Offer a recover password feature for mailboxes
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

If we can somewhat link a mail to something, we could offer password a recovery feature.

Some ideas:

  • Auth Grove (potentially circular if user uses Nasqueron mail to login)
  • Belgian eID
  • A backup mail address

Event Timeline

Development moratoire

Per T1771, we're currently considering implementing Keycloak as a reference identity management and SSO login product.

This product exposes a LDAP, OIDC (OpenID Connect) and SAML capabilities to authenticate users and applications. It seems to solve our main problems.

From there, it's not clear what we do with Auth Grove:

  • Scenario A. We drop it, and as users we directly interact with Keycloak. Development is discontinued.
  • Scenario B. Auth Grove is morphed into a front-end to use Keycloak: we expose current information, and interact with Keycloak API (through a generic set of classes to allow to switch to another solution) to set credentials and metadata.
  • Scenario C. We use both Keycloak AND Auth Grove. We don't make integrate with Keycloak at all, to stay independent and not vendor-locked.

While T1771 evaluation is ongoing, a moratoire covers any development activities related to Auth Grove, with the obvious exception of security issues.
This moratoire cover fully or partly this task.
