Intro to OAuth Matt Frost @shrtwhitebldguy https://joind.in/10630

What is OAuth?
None
Tokens
Statelessness
Applications have tokens too
So what you’re saying is…
Yep!
Tokens can be stolen though
This is bad
Good news though!
There are different versions
Technically OAuth 1 is deprecated
Just like the mysql extension You’re probably going to run
into it at some point anyway….
So here’s the plan
None
OAuth 1.0 Client
So we need tokens, right?
Token Definitions
Consumer Tokens
Temporary Credentials
Access Tokens
Token Request Flow
Super simple right? https://developer.yahoo.com/oauth/guide/oauth-auth-flow.html
Let’s break this down, eh?
You need an application
Request the temporary tokens
If you signed it right…
You’ll have temporary credentials
You now use these to request Access Tokens
If you sign that request right…
You’ll have your actual Access Tokens!
You can store them in a session or database and
use them now!
Remember all that signing talk?
This is the hardest part…
Base String
<?php! ! $params = [! 'oauth_nonce' => $this->getNonce(),! ! 'oauth_callback'
=> $this->getCallback(),! ! 'oauth_signature_method' => $this->getSignatureMethod(),! ! 'oauth_timestamp' => time(),! ! 'oauth_consumer_key' => $this->getConsumerKey(),! ! 'oauth_token' => '',! ! 'oauth_version' => '1.0',! ];
HTTP Method and URI
Let’s see how this actually works
<?php! $httpMethod = 'POST';! $uri = ‘http://api.example.com/request_tokens';! ! $params =
[! 'oauth_nonce' => $this->getNonce(),! 'oauth_callback' => $this->getCallback(),! 'oauth_signature_method' => $this->getSignatureMethod(),! 'oauth_timestamp' => time(),! ‘oauth_consumer_key' => $this->getConsumerKey(),! 'oauth_token' => ‘',! 'oauth_version' => '1.0',! ];! ! $tempArray = [];! ksort($params);! foreach($params as $key => $value) {! ! $tempArray = $key . '=' . rawurlencode($value);! }! ! $baseString = $httpMethod . '&';! $baseString .= rawurlencode($uri) . '&';! $baseString .= implode('&', $tempArray);
Composite Key This is way easier…
Cram the 2 secrets together…
$consumer_secret = 'VERYSECRETZ';! $access_secret = 'SUCHSECURITY';! ! $composite_key = rawurlencode($consumer_secret)
.'&'. rawurlencode($access_secret);
Signing with HMAC-SHA1
$signature = base64_encode(hash_hmac(! ! 'sha1',! ! $baseString,! ! $compositeKey,! !
true! )); Here’s your signature!
There are other signature types but…
However…
None
Authorization Header
$params = [! 'oauth_nonce' => $this->getNonce(),! ! 'oauth_callback' => $this->getCallback(),!
! 'oauth_signature_method' => $this->getSignatureMethod(),! ! 'oauth_timestamp' => time(),! ! 'oauth_consumer_key' => $this->getConsumerKey(),! ! 'oauth_token' => '',! ! 'oauth_version' => '1.0',! ];! ! $params[‘oauth_signature’] = $signature; You probably remember this array?
$header = “Authorization: OAuth “;! $tempArray = [];! ! foreach($params
as $key => $value) {! $tempArray[] = $key . ‘=“‘. rawurlencode($value);! }! ! $header .= implode(‘,’, $tempArray);! We’ve seen similar code before…
Authorization: OAuth oauth_consumer_key="xxxxxxxxx", oauth_nonce="fklj2324kljfksjf234k", oauth_signature="8xJAdrE00wGH21w87P 6N%2F8c0XZfeo%3D", oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1", oauth_timestamp="1399488541", oauth_token="xxxxxxxxx", oauth_version="1.0"
This is the final result
Whew! That was some work
OAuth 1.0 Server
Token Generation
Recreate the signature with the info you received
If they match, they win!
If not…
None
Access Control…
OAuth 2 Client
Good news!
No signatures
Must use SSL/TLS
Consumer Credentials
Access Token
Grants
Authorization Code Grant
Authorization example - Foursquare
http://foursquare.com/oauth2/authenticate? client_id=XXXXXXXXX&response_type=code&redirect_uri=htt p://oauth.dev/examples/Foursquare/callback.php
Token Request
http://oauth.dev/examples/ Foursquare/callback.php? code=<CODE>
https://foursquare.com/oauth2/access_token? client_id=<CLIENT_ID>&client_secret=<CLIENT_SECRET >&code=<CODE>&callback=http://oauth.dev/examples/ Foursquare/callback.php&grant_type=authorization_code
If you can use this, you should
Implicit Grant
http://foursquare.com/oauth2/authenticate? client_id=XXXXXXXXX&response_type=token&redirect_uri=ht tp://oauth.dev/examples/Foursquare/callback.php
Resource Owner Credentials Grant
Client Credentials Grant
Scopes
“Scopes” in OAuth 1
Scopes in OAuth 2
None
Important Note on Scopes
Provides an ACL Framework
Refresh Tokens
Same Scope
OAuth 2 Server
Issuing Tokens
Should I Support All The Grants?
Maybe…
Authorization/Implicit Grants
Storing Token Info
Scopes
Reading Tokens
Query String, Header, Both?
A Caution Against Rolling Your Own
