[OAUTH-WG] Nit: Language in section 1.1

2011-09-14 Thread Greg Brail
This part of section 1.1 is confusing to me and I stumble whenever I read it – I see that Brian Eaton suggested looking at it a while back but I don’t think it got changed: “OAuth includes four roles working together to grant and provide access to protected resources - access restricted reso

I would like to add my support to the comments below on section 2.3, specifically 2.3.1. It is clear to me from reading section 2.3 that clients MAY use HTTP basic, or they MAY include client_id and client_secret in the request body -- however, the latter is not recommended. It is not clear what

Re: [OAUTH-WG] signatures, v2

2010-07-22 Thread Greg Brail
we have a spec that specifies how an OAuth 2.0 client can securely retrieve a key for each token in a way that makes sense for OAuth 2.0 and is easy to implement? Or is this already specified somewhere else? *From:* Greg Brail [mailto:gbr...@sonoasystems.com] *Sent:* Thursday, July 22, 2010 2:58 PM

Re: [OAUTH-WG] signatures, v2

2010-07-22 Thread Greg Brail
I apologize since I have a feeling that this decision was made long ago but I'd like to understand... OAuth 1.0 had a secret associated with every token and used an HMAC to generate the signature. So, there is no way for an intermediary to see the token secret, regardless of whether SSL is used.

I'm sorry that I'm late on this but for what it's worth: Server Response Format: I prefer A (form-encoded only). It's the simplest solution that requires the least amount of client-side technology. JSON is too complex a spec for simply encoding a set of flat key-value parameters when where is alre

Re: [OAUTH-WG] application/x-www-form-urlencoded vs JSON (Proposal)

2010-05-06 Thread Greg Brail
I agree that JSON is the long-term winner. However, at least for Java and Python I know that JSON parsers are not part of the standard library, whereas everything needed to decode a url-formencoded library is in the standard libraries and has been there for a long, long time. Keep in mind that the

New service provider that supports OAuth 2.0 Whoa, it was! So, does anyone know what Facebook is planning to do when the spec changes, which I assume it's going to keep doing for a while? I mean, the part of the spec that they're describing on the page has been pretty stable, but if I were

[OAUTH-WG] A token use case

2010-03-22 Thread Greg Brail
I'd like to describe a token-related use case that, right now, is how some people are using parts of OAuth 1.0. I think it's a real use case and I'm wondering how the proposed OAuth 2.0 would handle it. (I'm on the IETF call too and it is very quiet.) We have seen APIs out there that require th

Re: [OAUTH-WG] Which draft to use as a starting point for 'using a token'?

2010-02-10 Thread Greg Brail
Like a lot of people, I think, things are moving along and we're trying to keep up. I do have a few more basic questions. Like it or not, the concept of a "consumer key" and "access token" is hard-wired into many developers' perceptions of OAuth, and a major difference between the two specs is
