I redirect user to the OAuth 2.0 authorization endpoint in popup window. What is best way to close this popup and refresh main window after OAuth 2.0 authorization server redirects user back with an authorization code?
Thanks in advance for any help.

A redirect URI, or reply URL, is the location where the authorization server sends the user once the app has been successfully authorized and granted an authorization code or access token.
If the request is valid and the user grants the authorization request, the authorization server generates an authorization code and redirects the user back to the application, adding the authorization code and the application's “state” value to the redirect URL.
The redirect URIs are the endpoints to which the OAuth 2.0 server can send responses. These endpoints must adhere to Google's validation rules. For testing, you can specify URIs that refer to the local machine, such as http://localhost:8080 .
Perhaps the most infamous OAuth-based vulnerability is when the configuration of the OAuth service itself enables attackers to steal authorization codes or access tokens associated with other users' accounts. By stealing a valid code or token, the attacker may be able to access the victim's data.
I think popup you can close by
parent.close(); And to refresh main window I used this trick:
$(function() { var win; var checkConnect; var $connect = $("#some_button"); var oAuthURL = "http://example.com/account/_oauth?redirect_url=" + redirect_url; $connect.click(function() { win = window.open(oAuthURL, 'SomeAuthentication', 'width=972,height=660,modal=yes,alwaysRaised=yes'); }); checkConnect = setInterval(function() { if (!win || !win.closed) return; clearInterval(checkConnect); window.location.reload(); }, 100); }); Opener ( main window ) just checks every time if the popup still live and if win.closed returns true - the main window reloads
Hope it will help somebody
