oauth

Atomic Auth Provider

The oauth.Controller interface provides simple user, application, and audience management for api servers.

This library does not implment this interface, which is outside the scope of its definition. Other services like (libatomic/atomic)[https://github.com/libatomic/atomic] provide examples this interface in the backend definition.

Auth Server

This server implements a simple http auth server that attempts to remain simple and yet implement many of the common flows using the oauth.Controller interface. You can use this template to create a more custom provider as needed.

This library is meant to be consumed by other services and does not provide an independent functionality.

Integrating the server

Integration begins with instantiating a api/server.Server object.

This object implements the http.Hander interface, provides a gorilla/mux.Router as well as a standalone http.Server. These options provide considerable flexibility. If you need more, simply fork, hack, repeat.

Integrators will need to implement the pkg/oauth.Controller interface.

The api/server.Server implements the pkg/oauth.Authorizer interface which can be used to validate incoming bearer tokens on http.Request objects.

OAuth 2.0 flow support

This library supports client_credentials, authorization_code, and refresh_token grants. The parameters are documented in the api/swagger.yaml spefification.

Cookie storage

The api/server.Server object can be passed a mux/sessions.Store option for alternate session cookie storage for browser based flows. The default store is mux/sessions.CookieStore.

AuthCode storage

AuthCodes require semi-persistence between the /authorize call and the /token call. The default store is the in-memory cache store provided by pkg/codestore/memstore.
