[#78] Provide support for OAuth

Description

Summary:

Detailed description

OAuth is a protocol meant to allow third party applications to get access to one server on behalf of a user without having to provide it with full user credentials.

It is quite convenient to allow to provide access to APIs to clients on behalf of users.

It would be interesting to add such a mechanism in fusionforge in order to allow REST interfaces to benefit from it (see for instance the OSLC-CM feature request : #62)

FYI, the code is committed on the trunk in the oauthprovider plugin

I've begun porting the Oauth plugin for mantis to fusionforge. A copy of the code can be found here: http://forge.projet-coclico.org/scm/loggerhead/wp1/ff-oauth/files/head%3A/plugins/coclico/oauth/

Thanks fro the pointer Alain.

What's the conclusion (if you've read it, I haven't yet) : oauth is flawed or twitter implemented it in a poor way ?

An interesting article about OAuth, security & FOSS: http://arstechnica.com/security/guides/2010/09/twitter-a-case-study-on-how-to-do-oauth-wrong.ars/

This may be implemented using the PHP OAuth lib written by Andy Smith (http://oauth.googlecode.com/svn/code/php/).

Note that I've been working on implementing a similar feature for Mantis, and some reuse could be made, since it's PHP too ;). More details at : http://heliosplatform.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/heliosplatform/mantis-oslccm/trunk/mantisbt-oauth-plugin/OauthAuthz/

We intend (as part of the COCLICO project) to provide such an initial implementation using SimpleSAMLPhp's OAuth module.

In addition to the previously mentioned, there would also be the need for some new UIs for the management of pending requests, autorizations granted, and consumers, etc.

This would require, among other things to add a store of "Clients"(/Consumers) that the forge recognizes (which would get granted some "client credentials" by users, and the corresponding management interface.

More to follow ;)
