Support for RAR
jricher opened this issue · 0 comments
Support for the OAuth 2.0 Rich Authorization Requests draft specification would require the specification of the type
field values required for the access token to be accepted. For each type
value, there's also the usually the need to define other values or parameters within the object. The following examples show what a possible syntax could look like for the new OAS security model proposed in OAI/OpenAPI-Specification#2582.
This example shows how it could be defined for an example API using OAuth 2 bearer tokens
components:
securitySchemes:
photoApi:
type: oauth2-rar
credentials:
- in: header
name: authorization
format: ^[B|b][E|e][A|a][R|r][E|e][R|r] (.*)$
config:
types:
- type: photo-api
actions:
- read
- write
- dolphin
locations:
- <api endpoint url>
datatypes:
- image
- metadata
- type: bank-api
actions:
- read
locations:
- <api endpoint url>
identifier: <account id>
datatypes:
- account
As I'm not sure how to show placeholder values, I'm using things like <api endpoint url>
here.
Furthermore, each type
value could define its own schema for what's allowed and required under its config
space, to make this more automated. In general, the values under the types
array could be any object structure, with only the type
field required. Perhaps the overlays function can help with this?
This proposed syntax is just one possible idea, and I'm looking for feedback on how this could be made to fit the OAS model better.
