[DEPR]: Logistration Pages -> micro-frontend

[waheedahmed]

Proposal Date

26 May 2022

Ticket Acceptance Date

09 June 2022

TBD. Needs to be re-communicated and re-accepted.

Technology Removal Date

Cannot remove until enterprise flows are implemented in micro-frontend

First Open edX Named Release Without This Functionality

not sure

Rationale

As part of our re-platforming effort, we are replacing Django-server-side rendered frontend implementations in favor of React-based micro-frontend implementations. This ticket covers the login, register, forgot, and reset password pages (aka Logistration).

Removal

We will be removing the older implementation of login, register, forgot, and reset password pages:

1. Logistration
2. Reset Password

Replacement

We are replacing these pages with a new micro-frontend-based implementation: openedx/frontend-app-authn

Deprecation

As part of our re-platforming effort, we are replacing Django-server-side rendered frontend implementations in favor of React-based micro-frontend implementations. This ticket covers the login, register, forgot, and reset password pages (aka Logistration).

Migration

No response

Additional Info

The enterprise flows are still using this legacy implementation and we cannot remove this until those are migrated to the new micro-frontend.

Update:

• We don't believe the MFE is at 100% feature parity with the legacy frontend (cc @michaelwheeler who brought this up).
• We believe the Authn MFE needs some work in order to meet our branding guidelines.
• It's not been added to a named release yet. We'd like it have the MFE available in a release before deprecating the legacy view.

[michaelwheeler]

Regarding the first point mentioned by @kdmccormick, I was thinking specifically of the ability to add custom fields to the registration page.

It may also be worth checking to ensure that existing auth-related events and filters are supported in a robust manner, so that existing extensions relying on those mechanisms don't break.

[inform] This DEPR is in the Draft state. It can't move forward without a DEPR coordinator to help update it to match the updated DEPR template. No action is required, unless anyone wants to move this out of Draft.

We still need to investigate whether the custom fields have been added to thein the intervening time. @michaelwheeler do you know whether the auth MFE meets your needs at this time?

[kdmccormick]

Reference for custom registration fields (the legacy version, I believe): https://docs.openedx.org/en/latest/site_ops/install_configure_run_guide/configuration/customize_registration_page.html

[michaelwheeler]

Hey @dianakhuang we are no longer using Open edX.

[kdmccormick]

The existence of this PR implies to me that Custom Registration Field have been added to the MFE, but that the documentation is not yet complete:
