ArcGIS API for JavaScript (legacy) ^3.46

Updates to OAuth Authentication

OAuth authentication now defaults to automatically use short-lived access tokens generated via two-step with Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) flow. This will be the default behavior for applications using the default page redirection for OAuth sign-in. This update follows the recommendations suggested in the OAuth 2.0 Security Best Current Practices specifications.

Prior to this version, the default was to use the one-step flow. Once authenticated, an access token would append as a URL hash to the client in a single step. This could potentially cause problems if the token was leaked or stolen since any resource accessible using this token would also be compromised.

Applications utilizing two-step authentication with user sign in via a popup window should opt in by setting flowType = "authentication-code". In addition, any existing callback page should be updated to support it. To aid in this, the default oauth-callback.html has been updated to allow for the two-step approach, although it will still work if using the one-step flow.

This update should be transparent with no changes needed by the developer if popups are not used for signing in and the application accesses ArcGIS Online or a version of ArcGIS Enterprise that supports PKCE.

Additional Changes and Enhancements

• New flowType property on OAuthInfo. Set this property to specify the type of authentication to use.
