[Quotation] Forward user access token/credentials to the web - Automatic login

[khal3d]

We have mobile applications that use OAuthServer to access the API, sometimes we want to forward the logged in user on the app to our website without asking him to re-login again.

So, how can we pass the access_token (that the app use) in a URL to automatically log in the user. How to check & verify the token?

@khal3d, usually the api and the web part would go thru different authentication mechanisms. In Symfony terminology - two different firewalls. They could use different user providers too.

It does not sound like a good idea to mix the two together.

If you really need such functionality, I would suggest for you to have it implemented yourself with one-time tokens.
