Research: Token Renewal Optimization [10pd] #1818
Description
User Story
As a developer, I want to investigate alternatives to the current token renewal mechanism so that we can identify a more efficient and reliable approach.
User Value
Transparency – We gain a clear overview of the effort, complexity, and work required to implement a better token renewal mechanism.
To investigate
Investigate alternatives to the current token renewal mechanism, which bootstraps the full web client in an iFrame and causes performance and stability issues, especially on slow connections and during long-running operations (e.g. uploads).
Standalone Vue app in iFrame
– Minimal auth/user/routing setup
– Feasibility of decoupling from the main web client
BFF approach
– Move authentication fully to a Backend-for-Frontend
– Web client uses session cookie only
Acceptance Criteria
- Brief evaluation of both options (feasibility, effort, risks)
- Clear recommendation for next steps
