The League of Extraordinary Packages presents: PHP OAuth 2.0 Server

The goal of this project is to develop a standards compliant OAuth 2.0 authorization server and resource server.

Package Installation

The framework is provided as a Composer package which can be installed by adding the package to your composer.json file:

{
	"require": {
		"league/oauth2-server": "2.*"
	}
}

---

The library features 100% unit test code coverage. To run the tests yourself run phpunit from the project root.

Current Features

Authorization Server

The authorization server is a flexible class and the following core specification grants are implemented:

• authorization code (section 4.1)
• refresh token (section 6)
• client credentials (section 2.3.1)
• password (user credentials) (section 4.3)

An overview of the different OAuth 2.0 grants can be found at http://alexbilbie.com/2013/02/a-guide-to-oauth-2-grants/.

Resource Server

The resource server allows you to secure your API endpoints by checking for a valid OAuth access token in the request and ensuring the token has the correct scope(s) (i.e. permissions) to access resources.

Custom grants

Custom grants can be created easily by implementing an interface. Check out a guide here https://github.com/php-loep/oauth2-server/wiki/Creating-custom-grants.

PDO driver

If you are using MySQL and want to very quickly implement the library then all of the storage interfaces have been implemented with PDO classes. Check out the guide here https://github.com/php-loep/oauth2-server/wiki/Using-the-PDO-storage-classes.

Future Goals

• Support for JSON web tokens.
• Support for SAML assertions.
