Enhance greeting PI "image" to accept a base64 image from RestAPI instead of direct link url
Current the RestAPI for the image on the greeting tile expects on open web image url to be returned in the json response to fetch the "avatar" e.g.
{
"photo": "https://example.edu/photo.png"
}
In our institution at least our student photos which we expose to apps via RESTApis never send the url link to the requester but after verification delivers the image as a base64 stream for the requesting app to convert. Requiring the images to be on an open url exposes images to anyone just putting the url and changing user name to get photos of other accounts.
This works for our id card image and our photo upload AEK
This idea will be considered by the R&D team, and this status will be changed in no more than 6 months.
