>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #1525808. --> Reported by: [gansbrest](https://www.drupal.org/user/170774) >>> <p>Here is the link to the Sandbox: <a href="http://drupal.org/sandbox/gansbrest/1524900">http://drupal.org/sandbox/gansbrest/1524900</a></p> <p>git clone --branch master <a href="mailto:gansbrest@git.drupal.org">gansbrest@git.drupal.org</a>:sandbox/gansbrest/1524900.git </p> <p><strong>It's currently available for Drupal 6 only.</strong></p> <p>Module description:</p> <h3>At the moment oAuth2 Connect allows you to authenticate with different 3rd party oAuth2 providers and maintains association between drupal uid and provider uid.</h3> <p>The module provides an abstraction layer with pluggable components for different oAuth2 providers. Currently it doesn't have an UI and all oAuth2 configuration is done with plugins ( and plugins are just classes extending an abstract class ).</p> <p>The goal was to allow the plugin to handle the dirty work ( dialog url creation, tokens manipulation, user data retrieval ), because each provider implements the protocol a little differently. Most notably Facebook requires post request to get the access token.</p> <p><strong>We tested the module with the following oauth2 providers</strong>:<br> - Twitter<br> - Facebook<br> - Yammer</p> <p>The main ideas behind this module were simplicity and extensibility. Before creating this module I evaluated different options including oauth and oauthconnector but at the moment there was no Drupal 6 version with oAuth 2.0 support, only 1.0. There were also many dependencies to consider - oauth, connector, http_client, chaos tools.</p> <p>You probably could incorporate all of them and create oAuth authentication system, but it seemed like an overkill for me. That's how oAuth2 connect module was born..</p> <p><strong>Dependencies</strong>:</p> <p>Autoload - <a href="http://drupal.org/project/autoload">http://drupal.org/project/autoload</a></p> <p><strong>Installation</strong>:</p> <p>Install the module. The module comes with Facebook, Twitter and Yammer plugins, so go to the plugins subfolder and type in your current client_id and client_secret which you will get after application registration on the provider side.</p> <p>Enable the block with Authentication options, which are easily themable using the default Drupal theme system.</p> <p><strong>Roadmap</strong>:</p> <p>- Create access token refresh functionality<br> - Abstract out plugins location<br> - Expose access token in a smart way, so other modules could get additional data from external APIs<br> - Possible integration with connector module, so users could have the UI to manipulate connection (add / remove)<br> - Create D7 version</p>
