A minimalistic Open Authentication Provider in php

The Oauth server mainly handles three types of requests

• Login by users
• Authenticating Client
• Api calls

In short, when the client wants to use a users credential,

• The user is redirected to a login page with the client key
• The server creates a request token if the user is successfully authenticated.
• The client then requests the server for a access token using the request token and the clients secret
• If the client secret and the request token are found to be generic, the client is provided a access token

This access token can be used with all the requests made by client to authenticate the client.

Clone the repository

Make sure you have installed mod_rewrite for apache Don't forget to add the repo to /etc/httpd/conf so as to allow rewrite rule

This is a very minimalistic Oauth provider. This can be scalled to authentica client with different type of permissions
