NAME

Dancer2::Plugin::OAuth2::Server - Easier implementation of an OAuth2 Authorization Server / Resource Server with Dancer2 Port of Mojolicious implementation : https://github.com/G3S/mojolicious-plugin-oauth2-server

SYNOPSIS

  use Dancer2::Plugin::OAuth2::Server;

  To protect a route, declare it like following:

  get '/protected' => oauth_scopes 'desired_scope' => sub { ... }

DESCRIPTION

Dancer2::Plugin::OAuth2::Server is a port of Mojolicious plugin for OAuth2 server With this plugin, you can implement an OAuth2 Authorization server and Resource server without too much hassle. The Basic flows are implemented, authorization code, access token, refresh token, ...

A "simple" implementation is provided with a "in memory" session management, however, it will not work on multi process persistent environment, as each restart will loose all the access/refrest tokens. Token will also not be shared between processes.

For a usable implementation in a realistic context, you will need to create a class implementing the Role Dancer2::Plugin::OAuth2::Server::Role, and configure the server_class option in configuration of the plugin. The following methods needs to be implemented:

        login_resource_owner
        confirm_by_resource_owner
        verify_client
        store_auth_code
        generate_token
        verify_auth_code
        store_access_token
        verify_access_token

On the resource server side, to protect a resource, just use the dsl keyword oauth_scopes with either one scope or the list of scope needed. In case the authorization header provided is not correct, a 400 http code is returned with an erro message. If the Authorization header is correct and the access is granted, the access token information are stored within the var keyword, in oauth_access_token, for the time of the request. You can access the access token information through var('oauth_access_token') within the route code itself.

CONFIGURATION

authorize_route

The route that the Client calls to get an authorization code. Defaults to /oauth/authorize The route is accessible through http GET method

access_token_route

The route the the Client calls to get an access token. Defaults to/oauth/access_token The route is accessible through http POST method

auth_code_ttl

The validity period of the generated authorization code in seconds. Defaults to 600 seconds (10 minutes)

access_token_ttl

The validity period of the generated access token in seconds. Defaults to 3600 seconds (1 hour)

clients

list of clients for the simple default implementation

    clients:
      client1:
        client_secret: secret
        scopes:
          identity: 1
          other: 0
      client2:
        client_secret: secret2
        scopes:
          identity: 1
          other: 1

Note the clients config is not required if you add the verify_client callback, but is necessary for running the plugin in its simplest form (when no server class is provided)

state_required

State is optional in the sepcifications, however using state is really recommended to have a safe implementation on client side. Client should send state and verify it, switching state_required to 1 make state a required parameter when trying to get the authorization code

server_class

Package name of the server class for customizing the OAuth server behavior. Defaults to Dancer2::Plugin::OAuth2::Server::Simple, the provided simple implementation

Server Class implementation

To customize the implementation in a more realistic way, the user needs to create a class implementing the role Dancer2::Plugin::OAuth2::Server::Role , and provide the Class name in the configuration key server_class. That role ensures that all the required functions are implemented. All the function will receive the dsl and settings as first 2 parameters: $dsl, $settings Those parameters will for instance allows user to access session, are plugin configuration

login_resource_owner

Function that tells if the Resource owner is logged in. It should return 1 if the user is logged in, return 0 if not. That function is expected to redirect the user to login page if needed.

confirm_by_resource_owner

Function to tell the plugin if the Resource Owner allowed or denied access to the Resource Server by the Client. Function receives the client_id and the list of scopes requested by the client. It should return 1 if access is allowed, 0 if access is not allowed, otherwise it should redirect the user and return undef

verify_client

Reference: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-4.1.1

Function to verify if the client asking for an authorization code is known to the Resource Server and allowed to get an authorization code for the passed scopes. The function receives the client id, and an array reference of request scopes. The callback should return a list with two elements. The first element is either 1 or 0 to say that the client is allowed or disallowed, the second element should be the error message in the case of the client being disallowed.

store_auth_code

Function to allow you to store the generated authorization code. After the 2 common parameters, The Function is passed the generated auth code, the client id, the auth code validity period in seconds, the Client redirect URI, and a list of the scopes requested by the Client. You should save the information to your data store, it can then be retrieved by the verify_auth_code function for verification

generate_token

Function to generate a token. After the 2 common parameters, dsl and settings, that function receives the validity period in seconds, the client id, the list of scopes, the type of token and the redirect url. That function should return the token that it generates, and should be unique.

verify_auth_code

Reference: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-4.1.3

Function to verify the authorization code passed from the Client to the Authorization Server. The function is passed the dsl, the settings, and then the client_id, the client_secret, the authorization code, and the redirect uri. The Function should verify the authorization code using the rules defined in the reference RFC above, and return a list with 4 elements. The first element should be a client identifier (a scalar, or reference) in the case of a valid authorization code or 0 in the case of an invalid authorization code. The second element should be the error message in the case of an invalid authorization code. The third element should be a hash reference of scopes as requested by the client in the original call for an authorization code. The fourth element should be a user identifier

store_access_token

Function to allow you to store the generated access and refresh tokens. The function is passed the dsl, the settings, and then the client identifier as returned from the verify_auth_code callback, the authorization code, the access token, the refresh_token, the validity period in seconds, the scope returned from the verify_auth_code callback, and the old refresh token,

Note that the passed authorization code could be undefined, in which case the access token and refresh tokens were requested by the Client by the use of an existing refresh token, which will be passed as the old refresh token variable. In this case you should use the old refresh token to find out the previous access token and revoke the previous access and refresh tokens (this is *not* a hard requirement according to the OAuth spec, but i would recommend it). That functions does not need to return anything. You should save the information to your data store, it can then be retrieved by the verify_access_token callback for verification

verify_access_token

Reference: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-7

Function to verify the access token. The function is passed the dsl, the settings and then the access token, an optional reference to a list of the scopes and if the access_token is actually a refresh token. Note that the access token could be the refresh token, as this method is also called when the Client uses the refresh token to get a new access token (in which case the value of the $is_refresh_token variable will be true).

The function should verify the access code using the rules defined in the reference RFC above, and return false if the access token is not valid otherwise it should return something useful if the access token is valid - since this method is called by the call to oauth_scopes you probably need to return a hash of details that the access token relates to (client id, user id, etc). In the event of an invalid, expired, etc, access or refresh token you should return a list where the first element is 0 and the second contains the error message (almost certainly 'invalid_grant' in this case)
