Problem in managing Federated Identity #7
Comments
|
I believe Mastodon (and related) use the WebFinger standard for discovering information about people/entities. |
@techknowlogick: You're correct. Those identity stays on the original server while remote servers would cache it. The cached account would still attached the original domain name as part of the identity. |
that's how mastodon provides the identity related issue mastodon/mastodon#4906 |
@21stio: That is not the only identity query service in Mastodon. Mastodon also support WebFinger. In fact, if you want to federate with Mastodon, you must implement the WebFinger endpoint for account query. Or else Mastodon wouldn't be able to follow your account. For example, for my mastodon.social account:
WebFinger is not part of the AP specification, anyway. Not say we must do so. |
