[Bug 1620879] Re: Allow users to self-issue webservice access tokens
As Robert pointed out, the webservice/apptokens.php page, "Settings ->
Web services", is a big, wide table, which overlaps the sidebars. It
also has a bunch of messy hard-coded HTML in it which should probably be
extracted out into a Smarty template. (This is probably because it was
ported from a Moodle HTML generator class originally.)
We should really redesign it to be less tabular and more flexible. For
now, I've just disabled the display of the sidebars on that page.

Title:
Allow users to self-issue webservice access tokens
Status in Mahara:
New
Bug description:
For the generation 2 Mahara mobile app (
https://github.com/maharaproject/mahara-mobile ), we want users to be
able to generate the access tokens they need via the app itself,
rather than the current process where users have to log in to Mahara
in a web browser, go to their account settings page, scroll to the
bottom and manually create an access token (typing in its value
themselves), then launch the mobile app and write that same access
token into the mobile app.
Instead, we envision a process the same as the Moodle Mobile app. The
user is presented with a username/password field, they enter their
credentials there, and the app then does the dirty work of talking to
the Mahara server, requesting the access token, and storing it.
In order to support SSO options, there also needs to be an alternative
flow, where the app opens an embedded iframe that displays the Mahara
login form, and returns the access token value back to the app when
done.
