The OpenID flow redirects to a page with the auth_token.

As @magopian pointed out, it is a best practice to not store the token on the client side.

The experts told us instead to store it inside a httpOnly cookie that can be read only from the server side.

This means two things from a kinto perspective:

OpenID should redirect to kinto and kinto should store the token in a httpOnly cookie
Kinto should try to find the token in the cookie if not present in an Authorization header.
