New Post: library not working

regionbbs — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 07:23:43 GMT

Some service provider requires different access token when you use different devices (like PC, phone, tablet, etc.).

If service provider requires it, you must create device specific access token and save it into database, when user use different device, you must fetch correct access token for user's device to access services.

If you want to confirm user has access token stored in db, you can use cookie to persist user's state (I use this method at several cases).

Created Issue: The client does not exist [3]

thirumalai_pm — Sat, 25 Aug 2012 11:36:27 GMT

When I configure for Live Id, I get the following error

"The client does not exist. If you are the client application developer, configure a new application through the application management site at https://manage.dev.live.com/. "

Before configuring, I created application from https://manage.dev.live.com/ and added a custom domain name with hosts file. Then configured the node as below
<add name="windowslive" type="EasyOAuth.Providers.Web.WindowsLiveClient, EasyOAuth.Providers"
consumerkey="000000004*******"
consumersecret="EdtiKntcwgz********i6sO8eced2gnp"
callbackUrl="http://thiru.cloudapp.net/EasyOAuth.WebClient.Sample/OAuthVerify.do"
scope="wl.basic,wl.offline_access,wl.signin">
Please let me know what could be the solution.

New Post: library not working

vishalishere — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 01:18:29 GMT

Hi Ming Chung Chu,

I must appreciate all the great work on this project that you have put, this is incredible, very well written and solid,

I tried this library and found that its broken / not entirely working.

I have tried creating a patch for it but did not create a fork for it yet, check out T_A from my project list,

also i am curious to know following

Flow: Sucessful Auth

Scenario: Returning User

When the persistance type is db and the auth is sucessful, values get stored in db for o_auth_token, security_token, access token etc, when a registered user returns to the site how to identify that the user exist without creating a new oauth_token,

the way you tried solving it was with IP but as you know thats not the rock solid approach as user may use different devices or locations or machines to use the service..

any thoughts?

regards,

Vishal

Created Issue: OAuthStatusPersistConfigurationSection default value causing exception [2]

kirkchen — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 07:26:19 GMT

Hi, I'm trying to use EasyOAuth framework to intergrate my application with oauth service.
And I found two little problem when i using EasyOAuth.WebClient.Sample Project.

When i authorized by google and redirect to "Accepted.aspx",
I got a "Configuration Error" exception,
This is because Asp.Net can't find class "EasyOAuth.WebUtility.Configuration.Configuration.OAuthStatusPersistConfigurationSection"
which is setting in the web.config.

So after i changed
<section name="oauth.statuspersist" type="EasyOAuth.WebUtility.Configuration.Configuration.OAuthStatusPersistConfigurationSection, EasyOAuth.WebUtility" />
to
<section name="oauth.statuspersist" type="EasyOAuth.WebUtility.Configuration.OAuthStatusPersistConfigurationSection, EasyOAuth.WebUtility" />

There is still a "Configuration Error" exception,
It shows that OAuthStatusPersistConfigurationSection class "Type" property should be Database or Session,
And the default value of "Type" property which setting in th property attribute is "session",
So i change default value from "session" to "Session". Everything works well!

New Post: 關於重複使用Access Token

regionbbs — Mon, 07 May 2012 07:30:34 GMT

你是用哪個 provider 產生的 access token，就用那個 provider 來使用 access token。

是 Plurk 產生的，就用 EasyOAuth.Providers.Web.PlurkClient
是 FB 產生的，就用 EasyOAuth.Providers.FacebookClient

New Post: 關於重複使用Access Token

terrychen0518 — Mon, 07 May 2012 03:29:41 GMT

您好,我是使用Web Client的部份, 程序跑到最後會回到 Accepted.aspx 在這個頁面上可以呼叫LoadProfile 但是我想把回傳回來的Access Token 存下來並且在別的地方使用,

但我不知道該如何使用原有的Access Token來 New EasyOAuth.Providers.Web.PlurkClient 或是 EasyOAuth.Providers.Web.FacebookClient

謝謝

New Post: how to access user profile

regionbbs — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 14:48:58 GMT

You can use LoadProfile() API implemented by service provider after you have completed OAuth process and archived access token.

New Post: how to access user profile

realfantasy — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 12:20:11 GMT

just started to use this wonderful API but was just wondering, after login through google/facebook or any such third party, on callback url page how can we access user's profile information saved in facebook or google?

regionbbs — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 07:56:36 GMT

This framework just provides authentication process of OAuth between and service provider.

If you want to consume service and data provided by service provider, please refer API documentation of service provider, and call it by Invoke() method.

Updated Wiki: What's new in EasyOAuth Framework 2.0 SP1

regionbbs — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 08:16:24 GMT

We are exciting to announce a new service release of EasyOAuth Framework 2.0 named SP1 (Service Pack 1). This release provides the following new feature:

1. Service Invocation method

In EasyOAuth Framework v1.0, we released a method named "Invoke" to developer for method call of service provider, but we removed it temporary in 2.0 with some issues. In this release, we added this method into OAuthDesktopClient and OAuthWebClient (include V1 and V2), you can use it like the following code:

EasyOAuth.Core.OAuthDesktopClientV2 client =
    EasyOAuth.Providers.OAuthDesktopProviderFactory.CreateOAuthV2Client<EasyOAuth.Providers.Desktop.FacebookClient>("facebook");

client.VerifyAuthentication();
client.Invoke("https://graph.facebook.com/me", "GET", new NameValueCollection());

You can invoke any APIs via client object with access token, we also release 2 (two) methods to developer to load exist access token in OAuthClientContext in Web Application scenario:

public static OAuthClientContext CreateWithAccessToken(OAuthWebClientV1 client, string AccessToken, string TokenSecret)
{
    client.SetAuthorizedInformation(AccessToken, TokenSecret);
    return new OAuthClientContext(client);
}

public static OAuthClientContext CreateWithAccessToken(OAuthWebClientV2 client, string AccessToken)
{
    client.SetAuthorizedInformation(AccessToken);
    return new OAuthClientContext(client);
}

Desktop application can use "SetAuthorizatedInformation()" to set exist access token to client object and invoke service method.

2. Authentication Status Persistence

In some Web application scenario, we may experience the session lost issue during OAuth authentication and authorization process, so we added a "status persistence" service in Web application, you can enable it by adding the following configuration in Web.config file:

  <configSections>
    <section name="oauth.statuspersist"
      type="EasyOAuth.WebUtility.Configuration.Configuration.OAuthStatusPersistConfigurationSection, EasyOAuth.WebUtility" />
  </configSections>
   ...
   <oauth.statuspersist type="Database" connectionString="initial catalog=[YOUR_DATABASE_CONNECTION_STRING" />

We have 2 mode for status store: Session or Database, if you select "Session", you can keep the blank in connectionString field; if you select "Database", you must configure connection string to your database, and create a table named OAuthSessionStates:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[OAuthSessionStates](
	[IPAddress] [varchar](12) NOT NULL,
	[Version] [tinyint] NOT NULL,
	[ConfigurationName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

EasyOAuth Framework will use database to store status during OAuth process.

NOTE: Currently, we just support SQL Server provider only.

3. Loading Profile

We added profile loading feature into each implementation of service provider, we load "name", "email" and "id" for default, but email will be blank if service provider has no information (like Twitter and LinkedIn).

Developer can use "LoadProfile()" method to load user's default profile, or handling "ProfileRequested" event to obtain more information.

4. Events (Desktop Edition only)

We added the events into OAuth process's methods for developer to do something, the events are:

1. TokenRequested (OAuth V1 only)
2. VerifierRequested (OAuth V1 and V2)
3. AccessTokenRequested (OAuth V1 and V2)
4. ServiceMethodInvoked (OAuth V1 and V2)
5. ProfileRequested (OAuth V1 and V2)

ProfileRequested event will provide the raw data loaded by "LoadProfile()" method, developer can use it to get other information.
