Implementation suggestion for Nord Vlei Extension

[HunnySajid]

In polaris-web, there are three different methods with a slightly different implementation as per the use cases of signify-polaris-web. Namely:

• authorize
• authorizeAid
• authorizeCred

Signify Extension

If authorize call is made user can select both credential or aid If authorizeAid call is made user can only select aid If authorizeCred call is made user can only select a credential

However, this behavior is a bit different in Nord Vlei. NordVlei extension only listens to authorize method call and based on that displays a list of credentials to be selected.

State of NordVlei extension when authorize call is made from polaris-web

We want to make Reg Pilot Web APP compatible with both NordVlei and Signify Extension. If we use authorize: In Signify Extension, it would allow user to pick any of Credential or AID, we dont want that. If we use authorizeCred: it is not implemented in NordVlei and it would not be listened.

Suggestion: Our suggestion is to replace authorize method in NordVlei with authorizeCred. That way it would be compatible for both of the extensions.

Thanks for the detailed description @HunnySajid ! We have added support for authorizeCred in our extension now, we just need to wait for approval before publishing the updated extension.
