How to authenticate without storing cookies in browser (Private Browser)

[Tak783]

How can I use use a private browser with App Auth?

Have been looking around in Issues, there is talk of SFSafariViewController with prefersEphemeralWebBrowserSession. I've also been reading of using OIDExternalUserAgent

I've sen comment #209 (comment). It's not very easy to understand how to do this.

Ok so using the standard auth methods I updated OIDExternalUserAgentIOS in the method presentExternalUserAgentRequest , where ASWebAuthenticationSession is used to have this line of code _webAuthenticationVC.prefersEphemeralWebBrowserSession = true; just before openedUserAgent = [authenticationVC start];

_webAuthenticationVC = authenticationVC; if (@available(iOS 13.0, *)) { _webAuthenticationVC.prefersEphemeralWebBrowserSession = true; } else { // Fallback on earlier versions } openedUserAgent = [authenticationVC start];
Would you be able to make this a feature option passed into the parameters such that we can log in using private browsing, please.

@Guy783 This was previously discussed in #402. It is preferred to have dedicated user agents for each particular use case instead of making the existant ones customizable for every possible and imaginable use case. The good news is that AppAuth allows to implement your own custom user agent and it's really easy to do. William's comment gives some details on how to do it.

This section of the README is dedicated to Custom User Agents and gives some details about how to use and create them.

Here's a link to an my example for an external agent in swift for anyone who would like a place to start. It is an ASWebAuthenticationSession with prefersEphemeralWebBrowserSession set to true.

And thank you @julienbodet
