OAuth2

OAuth2 is a library for user authentication using third-party services (OAuth/OAuth2 protocol) such as Google, Facebook and so on.

Current Version and Status

Current version is 0.8. Status is "release candidate" - despite we already have several real life projects built with usage of this library, we will change status to "stable" only after comprehensive set of acceptance tests is ready and runs successfuly.

Standard Flow

Following are the steps of standard flow:

generate login URL and render page with it
define callback which will be called by third-party service on successful authentication
retrieve user info on callback from third-party service

Usage Example

Several simple steps to plug in the library into your app:

Install OAuth2 package via NuGet

Install-Package OAuth2

Configure library

<configSections>
    <section name="oauth2" type="OAuth2.Configuration.OAuth2ConfigurationSection, OAuth2, Version=0.8.*, Culture=neutral"/>
</configSections>

<oauth2>
    <services>
        <add clientType="GoogleClient"
            enabled="true"
            clientId="000000000000.apps.googleusercontent.com"
            clientSecret="AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
            scope="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email"
            redirectUri="~/auth" />
        <add clientType="WindowsLiveClient"
            enabled="false"
            clientId="AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
            clientSecret="AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
            scope="wl.basic wl.emails"
            redirectUri="oauth2.example.local/auth" />
    </services>
</oauth2>

Instantiate AuthorizationRoot (use IoC container or do manual "newing" using default ctor)

public RootController(AuthorizationRoot authorizationRoot)
{
    this.authorizationRoot = authorizationRoot;
}

public RootController() : this(new AuthorizationRoot())
{
}

Obtain login URL and render page with it

public ActionResult Index()
{
    var uri = authorizationRoot.Clients[0].GetLoginLinkUri();
    return View(uri);
}

Define action for receiving callback from third-party service

public ActionResult Auth()
{
    var info = authorizationRoot.Clients[0].GetUserInfo(Request.QueryString);
    return View(info);
}

Use user info as you wish, for example, display user details:

@model OAuth2.Models.UserInfo
<p>
    @if (@Model.PhotoUri.IsEmpty())
    {
        @:"No photo"
    }
    else
    {
        <img src="@Model.PhotoUri" alt="photo"/>
    }
</p>
<p>
    @Model.FirstName @Model.LastName (@Model.Email) [@Model.Id, @Model.ProviderName]
</p>

Goals

Before I started working on this project I considered available solutions: several ones were found, but I wasn't satisfied with results:

some of them were too complex for such simple task as authentication via OAuth2
some - didn't have usage examples or documentation

So, I decided to implement this library striving to achieve following goals:

simplicity in usage - so even newbie can just call couple of methods and receive expected results
well-documented, testable and tested (!) code - current coverage (according to NCrunch) is greater than 80%, several acceptance tests are also implemented (SpecFlow + WatiN)
flexible, transparent and easily understandable design, so library can be used both by people who need only certain parts and fine-grained control over them and by people who want just plug it in and immediately receive expected result
self-education :) - it was interesting to see how OAuth2 works

Dependencies

This library is dependent on:

RestSharp (http://restsharp.org/)
Newtonsoft.Json (http://json.codeplex.com/)

Contributors

Constantin Titarenko (started development, defined library structure, released initial version)
Andrew Semack (helped a lot with improvements on configuration as well as with extending list of supported services by implementing their clients)
Sascha Kiefer (simplified extending library with own provider implementations, added GitHub client)
Krisztián Pócza (added LinkedIn (OAuth 2) client)

Many thanks to JetBrains company for providing free OSS licenses for ReSharper and dotCover - these tools allow us to work on this project with pleasure!

Also we glad to have opportunity to use free Teamcity CI server provided by Codebetter.com and JetBrains - many thanks for supporting OSS!

OAuth2 optimization would never be so simple without YourKit .NET profiler! We appreciate kind support of open source projects by YourKit LLC - the creator of innovative and intelligent tools for profiling .NET YourKit .NET Profiler and Java applications YourKit Java Profiler.

Roadmap

Implement more acceptance tests
Increase code coverage by finalizing unit tests
