Wild Card redirect uri
Hi,
Is it possible to use a wild card in a redirect_uri?
We're developing an app that can have multiple sub domains e.g.
User 1 can have a url:
https://testuser1.example.com/app
User 2 ...

11 years agoThis isn't currently possible, as all OAuth 2 redirect URIs are required to be pre-registered as a matter of security. I'll be sure to pass this along as feedback though.
As mentioned though, one thing you may be able to do instead is to use one static redirect URI but encode the necessary information in the 'state' parameter, and decode it as necessary after the redirect back to your app, to handle it as necessary:

Alternatively, you can use OAuth 1, which doesn't require pre-registered redirect URIs.
