OAuth Server -- add a doc and link to it in a few places
Summary: add a big ole HELP tab and make "scope" link to the specific sub-section about scope Test Plan: read my doc a few times, it basically english verified links looked correct and should work right once this is all in production Reviewers: epriestley Reviewed By: epriestley CC: aran, epriestley Maniphest Tasks: T910 Differential Revision: https://secure.phabricator.com/D1752

@title Using the Phabricator OAuth Server

|
||||
How to use the Phabricator OAuth Server.
|
||||
|
||||
= Overview =
|
||||
|
||||
Phabricator includes an OAuth Server which supports the
|
||||
##Authorization Code Grant## flow as described in the OAuth 2.0
|
||||
specification:
|
||||
|
||||
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-23
|
||||
|
||||
This functionality can allow clients to integrate with a given
|
||||
Phabricator instance in a secure way with granular data access.
|
||||
For example, Phabricator can be used as a central identity store for any
|
||||
clients that implement OAuth 2.0.
|
||||
|
||||
= Vocabulary =
|
||||
|
||||
- **Access token** - a token which allows a client to ask for data on
|
||||
behalf of a resource owner. A given client will only be able to access
|
||||
data included in the scope(s) the resource owner authorized that client for.
|
||||
- **Authorization code** - a short-lived code which allows an authenticated
|
||||
client to ask for an access token on behalf of some resource owner.
|
||||
- **Client** - this is the application or system asking for data from the
|
||||
OAuth Server on behalf of the resource owner.
|
||||
- **Resource owner** - this is the user the client and OAuth Server are
|
||||
concerned with on a given request.
|
||||
- **Scope** - this defines a specific piece of granular data a client can
|
||||
or can not access on behalf of a user. For example, if authorized for the
|
||||
"whoami" scope on behalf of a given resource owner, the client can get the
|
||||
results of Conduit.whoami for that resource owner when authenticated with
|
||||
a valid access token.
|
||||
|
||||
= Setup - Creating a Client =
|
||||
|
||||
# Visit https://phabricator.example.com/oauthserver/client/create/
|
||||
# Fill out the form
|
||||
# Profit
|
||||
|
||||
= Obtaining an Authorization Code =
|
||||
|
||||
POST or GET https://phabricator.example.com/oauthserver/auth/ with the
|
||||
following parameters:
|
||||
|
||||
- Required - **client_id** - the id of the newly registered client.
|
||||
- Required - **response_type** - the desired type of authorization code
|
||||
response. Only code is supported at this time.
|
||||
- Optional - **redirect_uri** - override the redirect_uri the client
|
||||
registered. This redirect_uri must have the same fully-qualified domain
|
||||
and have at least the same query parameters as the redirect_uri the client
|
||||
registered, as well as have no fragments.
|
||||
- Optional - **scope** - specify what scope(s) the client needs access to
|
||||
in a space-delimited list.
|
||||
- Optional - **state** - an opaque value the client can send to the server
|
||||
for programmatic excellence. Some clients use this value to implement XSRF
|
||||
protection or for debugging purposes.
|
||||
|
||||
If done correctly and the resource owner has not yet authorized the client
|
||||
for the desired scope, then the resource owner will be presented with an
|
||||
interface to authorize the client for the desired scope. The OAuth Server
|
||||
will redirect to the pertinent redirect_uri with an authorization code or
|
||||
an error indicating the resource owner did not authorize the client, depending.
|
||||
|
||||
If done correctly and the resource owner has already authorized the client for
|
||||
the desired scope, then the OAuth Server will redirect to the pertinent
|
||||
redirect_uri with a valid authorization code.
|
||||
|
||||
If there is an error, the OAuth Server will return a descriptive error
|
||||
message. This error will be presented to the resource owner on the
|
||||
Phabricator domain if there is reason to believe there is something fishy
|
||||
with the client. For example, if there is an issue with the redirect_uri.
|
||||
Otherwise, the OAuth Server will redirect to the pertinent redirect_uri
|
||||
and include the pertinent error information.
|
||||
|
||||
= Obtaining an Access Token =
|
||||
|
||||
POST or GET https://phabricator.example.com/oauthserver/token/
|
||||
with the following parameters:
|
||||
|
||||
- Required - **client_id** - the id of the client
|
||||
- Required - **client_secret** - the secret of the client.
|
||||
This is used to authenticate the client.
|
||||
- Required - **code** - the authorization code obtained earlier.
|
||||
- Required - **grant_type** - the desired type of access grant.
|
||||
Only token is supported at this time.
|
||||
- Optional - **redirect_uri** - should be the exact same redirect_uri as
|
||||
the redirect_uri specified to obtain the authorization code. If no
|
||||
redirect_uri was specified to obtain the authorization code then this
|
||||
should not be specified.
|
||||
|
||||
If done correctly, the OAuth Server will redirect to the pertinent
|
||||
redirect_uri with an access token.
|
||||
|
||||
If there is an error, the OAuth Server will return a descriptive error
|
||||
message.
|
||||
|
||||
= Using an Access Token =
|
||||
|
||||
Simply include a query param with the key of "access_token" and the value
|
||||
as the earlier obtained access token. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
https://phabricator.example.com/api/user.whoami?access_token=ykc7ly7vtibj334oga4fnfbuvnwz4ocp
|
||||
|
||||
If the token has expired or is otherwise invalid, the client will receive
|
||||
an error indicating as such. In these cases, the client should re-initiate
|
||||
the entire ##Authorization Code Grant## flow.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: See "Scopes" section below for more information on what data is
|
||||
currently exposed through the OAuth Server.
|
||||
|
||||
= Scopes =
|
||||
|
||||
There are only two scopes supported at this time.
|
||||
|
||||
- **offline_access** - allows an access token to work indefinitely without
|
||||
expiring.
|
||||
- **whoami** - allows the client to access the results of Conduit.whoami on
|
||||
behalf of the resource owner.
