ndg-oauth-server

This is an OAuth 2.0 server library and WSGI middleware filter.

Releases

0.6.0

• Clean up of password-based authentication of client by authorization server
• Removal of redundant MyProxy hooks

0.5.1

Integrated enhancements from Willem van Engen including:

• password-based client authentication, which is a commonly used client authentication method
• resource authentication for the check_token endpoint, to avoid brute-force attacks on token check; also provides a starting point for audience-restricted tokens and resource-restricted attribute release
• return user attribute from check_token endpoint, so that the resource knows what the user is; attribute name user_name according to CloudFoundry

Resource and client authentication use the same classes, and now are instantiated with a string indicating their use (to give meaningful log messages). The client_authenticator interface was removed, since all authenticators can derive directly from authenticator_interface, since they're both used for clients and resources; they were also renamed to make that clear (removing _client).

In client_register.ini and resource_register.ini (the latter is new) the field secret is optional.

Client code is unchanged.

0.4.0

• Revised examples in ndg.oauth.client.examples. bearer_tok uses bearer token to secure access to a simple html page on a resource server, slcs is an example protecting a short-lived credential service aka. Online Certificate Authority. This requires the ContrailOnlineCAService package and should be used in conjunction with the equivalent example in the ndg_oauth_client example.
• Added discrete WSGI resource server middleware ndg.oauth.server.wsgi.resource_server.Oauth2ResourceServerMiddleware
• Includes support for bearer access token passed in Authorization header to resource server.

This has been developed and tested for Python 2.6 and 2.7.
