  • includes description of forced auth config
  • description is consolidated from config comments
  • want to avoid detailed explanations in how-to, ideally (token refresh aspect could be described in a future, standalone authentication mechanism explanation)

Thanks @3v1n0 and @adombeck -- I addressed your comments in e48505a .

Two things to consider for the future:

  • A short explanation page that expands on description of online and offline authentication in docs: document enabling forced authentication in config guide #870 (comment) -- this could be linked out to from this how-to, which we would ideally like to keep concise
  • I would defer to your judgement, but consider whether force_provider_authentication in the config file is sufficiently clear, for the same reasons that you outlined above

Based on the wording in the user documentation
(see ubuntu/authd#870).
- includes description of forced auth config
- description is consolidated from config comments
- want to avoid detailed explanations in how-to, ideally (token refresh
aspect could be described in a later authentication mechanism
explanation)
Makes more clear that when force_provider_authentication is true:

- user needs to be online and provider needs to be reachable
- the authentication is therefore ONLINE with the REMOTE provider

Further explanation is beyond the scope a how-to but the how-to can link
to a supplmentary explanation at a later date.
referring to a remote identity provider introduces needless ambiguity
