Support subdomains for separate issuer origins #38

Open lmorchard opened 12 years ago

lmorchard commented 12 years ago

On badg.us, everything happens on the same domain / origin. It could be interesting to support username-based subdomains to offer separate issuer domains. So, you'd have badges coming from origins like:

Each of those domains would be a "home page" for that user's created badges, and OBI JSON assertions would include separate origins for each issuer.

Basing this on username could be a problem for groups / institutions, though. That places all power with one user, when there should be a number of people involved. Maybe the origin should be an arbitrarily-named thing that any user can create and share with delegate groups? Name it after the user by default, but allow the name to be changed.

A big monkey wrench: If the site is served up behind SSL, wildcard domains become much more difficult.
