In my Rails app, I am trying to set a cookie to be picked up by Ember Simple Auth's cookie store after the page has loaded. I am using the Ember Simple Auth OAuth2 authorizer.
Right now, I am just planting the OAuth data directly as the cookie value:
{
"token_type": "bearer",
"access_token": "3ec78864cc017982fdeeb0c092bfbea3f104df1e18c9c67f222581d9353f3fce",
"refresh_token": "cb03c07b8845ea7b40251b0df46839177bd7b51b3dd1d23f167890b9e1549f07",
"created_at": 1436454055,
"expires_in": 7060,
"expires_at": 1436461254
}
I'm guessing this isn't what Ember Simple Auth expects because the syncData function reads it once and then replaces it with this value after the next cookie poll:
{ secure: {} }
What should the data look like for OAuth 2? I'm guessing it's the same no matter how it's stored (cookie vs. local storage vs. ephemeral storage).
After looking at this screenshot from this post, I figure I'm probably way off, and I've been having trouble understanding where to poke around in the Ember Simple Auth source to figure this out.
Ember Simple Auth only uses the cookie to store its internal state. The cookie cannot be set from the server and also should not be used on the server side. The library is solely meant for implementing token authentication for stateless (= cookie-less) APIs.
