#oauth2

  • Aaron Parecki

    Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki. I write about OAuth here, and I give talks about OAuth 2.0. Below you'll find my recent posts about various OAuth-related things, including talks I'm giving. I've also written two community resources about OAuth:

    OAuth 2.0 Simplified is a guide to OAuth 2.0 focused on writing clients that gives a clear overview of the spec at an introductory level.

    In 2017, I published a longer version of this guide as a book, available on oauth.com as well as a print version. The book guides you through building an OAuth server, and covers many details that are not part of the spec. I published this book in conjunction with Okta.

    Just launched a big reorganization of https://oauth.net which should make it easier to find things! 🔒 #oauth2 #oktane16

    iOS developer friends: what is a good resource that explains the requirements for doing secure OAuth2 in an iOS app?
    Aaron Parecki
    @beaugunderson Your best best is to not use the client secret, and redirect to the app's registered protocol handler. Or dynamically generate a client secret when the app first launches (unique to each app). Sounds like this would be a good blog post.

    SFSafariViewController can be used to display web content within your app. It shares cookies and other website data with Safari, and has many of Safari's great features, such as Safari AutoFill and Safari Reader. Unlike Safari itself, the SFSafariViewController UI is tailored for displaying a single page, featuring a Done button that takes users back to where they were in your app.

  • So you implemented an OAuth 2.0 API...

    While OAuth 2.0 is a good framework for building an API, the spec itself leaves many things un-specified, and it's up to the implementer to make a decision based on their own security requirements. As such, most OAuth 2.0 implementations are not interoperable, which is often cited as a failure of OAuth 2.0. On the other hand, the current state of OAuth 2.0 implementations is that they are often similar enough that developers don't need to learn too many new concepts when dealing with them.

    Continuing last weekend's documentation of all the un-specified parts of OAuth 2.0, things were going pretty well until I hit the "Security Considerations" section, which basically recommends but doesn't require a whole bunch of things. Basically this means an API can be fully OAuth 2.0 compliant and also completely insecure.

    If you want to know more, keep an eye out for this blog post. Or hire me as an independent OAuth consultant and I'd gladly spend a day with you.

    Currently documenting all the ways the OAuth 2.0 framework leaves choices up to the implementor. The list is long. #oauth2

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
