Hello,

I know there's an oauth module in SimpleSAMLphp (http://code.google.com/p/simplesamlphp/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fmodules%2Foauth%253Fstate%253Dclosed) but I can't seem to find any documentation for it.

Can SimpleSAMLphp act as an OAuth server, and is there a tutorial or examples on how to do it?

Which version of OAuth is supported?

I Ivan, were you able to find anything? I'm searching around for the same thing. Thanks!

Hello

As far as I know (I may be mistaken) - simplesamlphp only act as a Oauth
Resource server in OAuth terminology. The OAuth-IdP / authorization-server
would be a different party (such as Google APIs, openid etc).

If OAuth2-servers are what you're looking for, I suggest you look into
http://oauth.net/2/ Of course - you could link oauth2 and saml, and use
saml-authentication to be the authentication-party of the oauth2 authorization.
IT all really depends on what you are trying to achieve.
