Nick Jackson Web Monkey University of Lincoln @jacksonj04
Story time!
I’m a user of a web service
I own resources on the web service
For example, personal details
None
These resources1 are stored on a resource server 2 1.
personal details 2. facebook.com
The resource server exposes user resources over an API
I visit a 3rd party web application
The 3rd party web app is called a client
The client1 wants to use my resources2 1. 3rd party
web app 2. personal details
But the resource server’s API requires user authorisation
How?
Give the client my password
Give the client my password
So what then?
OAuth
“An open protocol to allow secure API authorisation in a
simple and standard method from desktop and web applications.” oauth.net
—˛
User Client Resources Owns Accesses Authorises
The flow
User clicks “sign in” in the client application
None
The user is redirected to the resource server and asked
to sign in
None
GET /authorise? response_type=code&client_id=12345&redirect_uri= http://client.tld/ redirect&scope=name,email,birthday HTTP/1.1 Host: resource-server.tld
The resource server clearly tells the user the specific data
the client wants to access
None
User authorises the application and is redirected back to client
with a authorisation code in the query string
HTTP/1.1 302 Found Location: http://client.tld/redirect?code=78dsf9sudfo9s
Client exchanges the authorisation code for an access token
POST /token HTTP/1.1 Host: resource-server.tld Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded code=78dsf9sudfo9s&client_id=12345&client_secret =12345&redirect_uri=http://client.tld/redirect
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-type: application/json { access_token: “aLKJHskjhda8s13jsi9sis”, valid_until: 1320759526
}
The access token can then be used as authorisation by
the client to access the specified resources for a specific length of time
Advantages
No password sharing <- Happy security conscious user
Developers just need to implement a redirect and a POST
request <- Happy developers
Users can revoke access tokens for specific clients
None
Nefarious clients can have their credentials revoked and all associated
access tokens destroyed immediately
None
None
Currently version 1.0a lncn.eu/giy
Version 2.0 is almost finished lncn.eu/bkw
OAuth 2.0 •Simpler •Requires all communication over SSL •New flows
•Better UX
Who’s using OAuth?
None
And in HE?
None
None
None
data.lincoln.ac.uk people energy location printing events calendars bibliographic documents
Internal and external authorisation
Open source 2.0 server lncn.eu/ar6
Any questions?
Thank you @jacksonj04
