org url's #307

Open cmcavoy opened 11 years ago

Thinking about the idea of allowing organizations configured in openbadger to allow the badges to come from their own url's. Point a url to the openbadger instance as CNAME.

This is mostly a placeholder for discussion, but is driven by a partner that wants the badges to come from their own url (DML / HASTAC / UofI) /cc @threeqube @brianloveswords @carlacasilli

I support this. :+1:

I support the concept and was thinking about the best way to handle it. CNAMEs would work, but I was also thinking about formalizing a method in the spec more generally, something like onBehalfOf (not the final name, obviously). Some method of handshaking that says "I am an issuer, I am using (e.g.) OpenBadger and I approve that they are issuing badges on my behalf".

My mind went naturally to staking out /.well-known/openbadges/ and sticking some file in there, but this could also be done with a <meta> tag or a HTTP header.

Implementation details aside, it's definitely something we need.

I think we need to capture the detail that @brianloveswords mentions of "I am an issuer, I am using (e.g) OpenBadger and I approve that they are issuing badges on my behalf."
