building OAuth REST API with Lift?

[Ryan]

Hello Everyone,

We're going to use Lift as a framework to build RESTful APIs. For the
authentication, OAuth will be used.
I know Lift supports OAuth for server side contributed by Foursquare,
but I couldn't find any manual/guide/tutorial/example, yet.

Did I missed something or there wasn't?

Best,
Hyok

Currently you'll have to look at the source code - there isnt any documentation on that per-say. 

Thanks, Tim

There are plenty of thanks and maybe a beer or two for the person that writes that page.

As I've collected, at least three beers are pending for the OAuth, I've looked on it.

I can say that the OAuth module which is merged into Lift tree is not used for Foursquare service as is: I've found several critical bugs in the current OAuth module code in Lift. Actually it seems that it implements partial functions needed for OAuth server.

I've rewritten and expanded at least a few parts of the OAuth module and currently I've made initial working version of the OAuth/xAuth server. (I've tested with oauth client javascript implements and Netflix OAuth test page.)

Actually, I've tried to implement a quick example with ProtoUser, but found that the dynamic redirection after ProtoUser login is not working. (due to the session life cycle, Redirect SessionVar in ProtoUser code is not available after login)

It is based on "OAuth 1.0 core" as many clients are based on it and could be used for OAuth 1.0a(final) with uncommenting a few lines.

Still interested?

Best,

Hyok

Of course, we double the beers if it becomes a documented, working,
Lift module! Or send you something stronger :-)

[Peter Robinett]

I will also contribute a beverage of the author's choice. ;-)

I actually will be working on an OAuth 2.0 REST API for a Lift app over the next few weeks. Any tips or places to start? Naturally I will try to contribute back as much as possible.

[David Pollak]

How about making your OAuth 2.0 stuff part of the Lift distribution and we can deprecate the current OAuth stuff?

I'll see what my client thinks. It would definitely be a nice contribution.

Hmm,

First, OAuth 2.0 relays heavily on SSL and not finalized, yet.

Second, most of current client implementation is based on 1.0 core or 1.0a.

Maybe we could work on OAuth 1.0 server first and OAuth 2.0 in near future?

It's good enough to Facebook to use, so I figure it's good enough for me. ;-) http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/

Hi, 

have anything been done on the oauth 1 module ? either code or documentation (I've got the beer ready in my fridge)

If you are up to the task, we opened up the modules to external contributions,
https://github.com/organizations/liftmodules
so you could go ahead and submit a pull request with any fix it needs.

Thanks,

Diego
