Overview#

the display parameter is used in OpenID Connect and is an ASCII RFC 20 string value that specifies how the Authorization Server displays the authentication and Consent Dialog user interface pages to the Resource Owner.

The defined values are:

• page - The Authorization Server SHOULD display the authentication and consent UI consistent with a full User-agent page view. If the display parameter is not specified, this is the default display mode.
• popup - The Authorization Server SHOULD display the authentication and consent UI consistent with a popup User-agent window. The popup User Agent window should be of an appropriate size for a login-focused dialog and should not obscure the entire window that it is popping up over.
• touch - The Authorization Server SHOULD display the authentication and consent UI consistent with a device that leverages a touch interface.
• wap - The Authorization Server SHOULD display the authentication and consent UI consistent with a "feature phone" type display.
• The Authorization Server MAY also attempt to detect the capabilities of the User-agent and present an appropriate display.
