Where do 2-Legged Credentials Go?

[Jeff S.]

I'm writing an application that is an OAuth 2-legged provider to a
single client application. I have installed the oauth gem and plugin
and generated my controllers. In the controller I want to protect, I
have the following code:

class UploadController < ApplicationController
include OAuth::Controllers::ApplicationControllerMethods
oauthenticate :strategies => :two_legged, :interactive => false

def upload
# do some stuff
end
end

Where do I store the keys for the client application so that
oauthenticate can get to them?

I apologize if this is a simplistic questions. This is my first time
doing something like OAuth. If I was using HTTP digest
authentication, I would store the credentials in a YML file. However,
it doesn't seem this plugin has that option.

Thanks.

During the setup you should of had a few migrations and as well has to
add the following code snippet to your "User" object.

has_many :client_applications
has_many :tokens, :class_name=>"OauthToken",:order=>"authorized_at
desc",:include=>[:client_application]

This should handle allowing oauth to get the keys for this
application. In your case because you are providing a one off
application that only one other provider is going to a bit of over
kill having an entire user model, but it will also let you have it be
extremely simplistic since you don't need a log in interface, a
detailed user structure and other things you would need for multiple
users.

I would suggest just creating a simple user and try to emulate the
process of creating a client application in the terminal. I know that
the gem comes with controllers and views to do it visually but since
you don't have a need for that, doing it from the console may turn out
to be easier that getting something prepared so you could do it from
your browser

I know this is an 8-month old thread, but not much is on the web about this. How did you end up setting up your simple 2-legged approach? Devise, client applications and callbacks are all overkill for my basic needs.
