Hi Nazeer, Per our discussions, I wanted to send some further details on the dev list about the requirements and conversations the mobile developers working on the Android self-service app have been having.
First off, in order to make it easier for a user to log in and not have to fully authenticate themselves each time they leave the self-service app, we wanted to enable a 4 digit pin code that could be used to log in to the app (once fully authenticated for a first time). This is pretty standard practice in banking apps. We didn't want to store that locally since it wouldn't be secure on phones that are rooted. With that constraint, we need to be able to store this pin on the back-end - then it can also be shared across phones as well. I'll let Rajan, Ishan, and Puneet and others chime in with more details about access token that gets generated, its validity etc. A couple of GSOC aspirants have already begun work on the creation and entry of the pin via the app on the phone but we need your assistance in storing it at the back-end. I've created a ticket at: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-424 Discussion surrounding those tickets can be found at https://github.com/openMF/self-service-app/issues/115 and https://github.com/openMF/self-service-app/issues/132 Ed -- *Ed Cable* President/CEO, Mifos Initiative edca...@mifos.org | Skype: edcable | Mobile: +1.484.477.8649 *Collectively Creating a World of 3 Billion Maries | *http://mifos.org <http://facebook.com/mifos> <http://www.twitter.com/mifos>
