Resource owner password credentials grant

This grant is a great user experience for trusted first party clients both on the web and in native applications.

Flow

The client will ask the user for their authorization credentials (ususally a username and password).

The client then sends a POST request with following body parameters to the authorization server:

• grant_type with the value password
• client_id with the the client's ID
• client_secret with the client's secret
• scope with a space-delimited list of requested scope permissions.
• username with the user's username
• password with the user's password

The authorization server will respond with a JSON object containing the following properties:

• token_type with the value Bearer
• expires_in with an integer representing the TTL of the access token
• access_token a JWT signed with the authorization server's private key
• refresh_token an encrypted payload that can be used to refresh the access token when it expires.

Setup

Wherever you initialize your objects, initialize a new instance of the authorization server and bind the storage interfaces and authorization code grant:

{% highlight php %} // Init our repositories $clientRepository = new ClientRepository(); $accessTokenRepository = new AccessTokenRepository(); $scopeRepository = new ScopeRepository(); $userRepository = new UserRepository(); $refreshTokenRepository = new RefreshTokenRepository();

// Path to public and private keys $privateKey = 'file://path/to/private.key'; // Private key with passphrase if needed //$privateKey = new CryptKey('file://path/to/private.key', 'passphrase'); $publicKey = 'file://path/to/public.key';

// Setup the authorization server $server = new \League\OAuth2\Server\Server( $clientRepository, $accessTokenRepository, $scopeRepository, $privateKey, $publicKey );

// Enable the password grant on the server with an access token TTL of 1 hour $server->enableGrantType( new \League\OAuth2\Server\Grant\PasswordGrant( $userRepository, $refreshTokenRepository ), new \DateInterval('PT1H') ); {% endhighlight %}

Implementation

The client will request an access token so create an /access_token endpoint.

{% highlight php %} $app->post('/access_token', function (ServerRequestInterface $request, ResponseInterface $response) use ($app) {

/* @var \League\OAuth2\Server\Server $server */
$server = $app->getContainer()->get(Server::class);

// Try to respond to the request
try {
    return $server->respondToAccessTokenRequest($request, $response);

} catch (\League\OAuth2\Server\Exception\OAuthServerException $exception) {
    return $exception->generateHttpResponse($response);

} catch (\Exception $exception) {
    $body = new Stream('php://temp', 'r+');
    $body->write($exception->getMessage());
    return $response->withStatus(500)->withBody($body);
}

}); {% endhighlight %}
