Re: Solid App Authorization

Hi Michael,

As far as I know, WebID-TLS is not going to happen by lack of browser
support for the standard.

I believe WebID-OIDC is the recommended way to authenticate an app to a
POD. At least, that is how we do it at Startin'blox 😉

I do not know what DID is though.

I hope this helps
