The goal of this project is to develop a standards compliant [OAuth 2](http://tools.ietf.org/wg/oauth/draft-ietf-oauth-v2/) authentication server, resource server and client library with support for a major OAuth 2 providers.
The framework is provided as a Composer package which can be installed by adding the package to your composer.json file:
```javascript
{
"require": {
"lncd\Oauth2": "*"
}
}
```
## Package Integration

## Current Features
### Authentication Server
The authentication server is a flexible class that supports the standard authorization code grant.
### 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 permission to access resources.
## Future Goals
### Authentication Server
* Support for [JSON web tokens](http://tools.ietf.org/wg/oauth/draft-ietf-oauth-json-web-token/).
* Support for [SAML assertions](http://tools.ietf.org/wg/oauth/draft-ietf-oauth-saml2-bearer/).
