Auto login when trying to sign up new user
Hello everyone! I'm maybe doing something extremely wrong here, but in my app (express nodejs server + mongodb) I have the signing up routine in the following way: Fresh user goes to "https://www.d...
Yes, by default, if the user has already approved the app and there is an https:// redirect URI being used, Dropbox may automatically redirect them to the redirect URI.
You can prevent this from happening though by using the 'force_reapprove=true' option for the www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize authorization page. If you set that, Dropbox will not automatically redirect the user. In that case, the user has the opportunity to log out and log back in with a different account before authorizing the app.
Yes, I understand that I need to clear everything on logout, and I'm actually doing it, I'm destroying the session and clearing the cookie, but user remains logged in on the dropbox, so when he goes to the dropbox link that is used for registration, the it sends back the token of this logged in user and my app automatically logs him in, so maybe there is a way to log out from dropbox as well from my app when user logs out from it?
As far as I know, there isn't such way, but user should gonna be asked for add new application instance, in such a case. After that, everything is user responsibility, new app instance or rejects and tries usage new Dropbox account. You can't get in there, would be Dropbox security issue. Does something else happen? You can add tips, describing such a situation, in your application users guide. :wink:
