ndg-oauth-server 0.3.1

This is an OAuth 2.0 server library and WSGI middleware filter.

It supports simple string-based bearer token and a custom extension to enable
the use of X.509 certificates as tokens. The latter has been added for a
specialised use case to enable a SLCS (Short-lived Credential Service) to issue
delegated X.509-based credentials with OAuth.

Prerequisites
=============
This has been developed and tested for Python 2.6 and 2.7.

Installation
============
Installation can be performed using easy_install or pip.

Configuration
=============
Examples are contained in the examples/ sub-folder:

bearer_tok/:
This configures a simple test application that uses string based tokens.
slcs/:
This is a more complex and specialised example that issues X.509 certificate-
based tokens as part of a Short-lived Credential Service. The authorisation
server requires access to a specially configured MyProxyCA service (
http://grid.ncsa.illinois.edu/myproxy/ca/) configured with a custom PAM to
allow issue of credentials. See:
http://ndg-security.ceda.ac.uk/browser/trunk/MashMyData/pam_credential_translation

The examples should be used in conjunction with the ndg.oauth client package.
