Marketplace/FirefoxAccounts

This page discusses how we'll integrate Firefox Accounts with the Marketplace, which currently uses Persona.

Marketplace

For the web

Because Marketplace will have to work on Firefox OS 1.0 - 1.4, Android and Desktop, the primary Firefox Accounts flow will be the web based flow.

Documentation: https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-oauth-server/blob/master/docs/api.md

Sample application: https://123done.dev.lcip.org/

• Set up a Marketplace account on the Firefox Account server, which contains all the account and redirect information.

• Login
  • Add Log in button, that calls /v1/authorization.
  • Add Sign in button, that calls the above URL slightly differently. Dependent bugs: https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-content-server/issues/980, https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-content-server/issues/1062, https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-oauth-server/issues/50
  • Add an insertial page to complete the log in? Or just bounce back to the original page. Upon receiving the response it:
    • Calls POST /v1/token
    • Sends resulting call to the profile server (undocumented but on github)
    • Matches the email up with users account in zamboni, or creates an account and signs the user in, by creating a session.
    • Redirects the user back to the original page.
• Logout
  • Nuke the marketplace session, update any UI elements or reload.

For Firefox OS 2.0

On Firefox 2.0, we'll use the native Firefox Accounts.

• Write up here: https://id.etherpad.mozilla.org/tracing-mozId-API
• See also: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/master/dev_apps/uitest/js/API/fxa.js#L29

• Login
  • Add in UA/OS sniffing to detect Firefox OS, if its not Firefox OS 2.0, we assume native Firefox Accounts is not available and fall back to the web.
  • Call navigator.id, adding in: wantIssuer: 'firefox-accounts'
  • When firefox accounts returns, create or sync up with the existing account (we already do this)
  • Create the session
• Logout
  • Nuke the local session

Payments

• See this etherpad: https://id.etherpad.mozilla.org/tracing-mozId-API

• Login
  • As above for Firefox Accounts for the web or Firefox OS 2.0 as appropriate.
• Reset PIN
  • Firefox Accounts for the web
    • Log the user out by nuking the local session, not logging them out of Firefox OS
    • Login as above for Firefox for the web or Firefox OS 2.0 as appropriate
    • When Firefox Accounts returns, assert the email addresses match (already done)
    • Restart the payment flow
  • Native Firefox Accounts
    • Call the force re-auth method: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=952347
    • When Firefox Accounts returns, assert the email addresses match (already done)
    • Restart the payment flow

Migration

Persona users allowed users to login with unverified emails, Firefox Accounts does not. If a user has an unverified email they will have to log in to Firefox Accounts with a new email. In this case the record of paid apps on the server will be inaccurate. This will never really affect a user until they try to purchase a previously installed app.

Note: this currently affects users anyway, but Firefox OS accounts by forcing new accounts is more likely to trigger it.

• Add in a move purchase page to the admin lookup pages
  • Takes two user accounts, listing all purchases
  • Moves all app purchases from account A to account B
