Note: HBX is currently hard-coded with "broker.parityinc.net" as the URL of the broker service to use. After user installs HBX and restarts Firefox... - HBX generates a (very long) unique number as the user's broker username and stores it along with a randomly generated initial password locally on the user's computer
- When HBX code starts up (during Firefox startup) it invokes the broker's "createbrokerAccount" API passing in the shared secret username/password.
- The broker invokes Higgins and creates a new initial context using org.eclipse.higgins.context.user Context Provider.
- The broker adds a new Digital Subject to the Context named "broker-root" (all registered users of the broker exist as a Digital Subject within this one Context named "broker-root"
- The broker "createbrokerAccount" web service returns to HBX
- HBX returns to Firefox
The main page for information about HBX is Higgins Browser Extension
