Web Services with OAuth Nordaaker
What is OAuth? • A simple open standard for API Authentication
Do we need it? We’ve got OpenID ★ Not a replacement, a complementary API. ★ OAuth is Authorization, Openid is Authentication ★ OpenID users don’t have passwords, so can’t ask them for that when they try to access the API ★ OAuth is token based, does not require password
A bit more about OAuth ★ Not a new idea - FlickrAuth, Google AuthSub, BBAuth, etc. ★ Open Standard - http://oauth.net/ ★ Wide industry support ★ AOL, Eye-Fi, Facebook, Garmin, Google, LinkedIn, Ma.gnolia, Microsoft, MySpace, Plaxo, Pownce, Salesforce, Songbird, Veodia, and Yahoo!. and more! ★ Easy to understand ★ Easy to implement
