But if you need specialized functionality, even if it is part of a standard, carefully review the documentation of any solution you are considering.
If you need core functionality, you should be covered by almost any OAuth server. If you have a typical auth use case, the OAuth standard almost certainly will work for you. The members of the group also work to support weird edge cases in scale, user interfaces, and network connectivity. As a user of this standard, you gain all their hard work without having to hire them! This work includes security analysis, where the group constantly considers different attack vectors and weaknesses in the protocol and ameliorates them. OAuth2 (the version of OAuth that this article will cover) has been around since 2012 as a standard and is built on lessons from other, earlier standards, including OAuth1 and SAML.īeing a standard, OAuth benefits from many smart people working together in the open. It allows users to securely delegate access to resources without sharing their original credentials. OAuth is one of many solutions you can use to protect your APIs and other resources. APIs are necessary to proper functioning of such applications, but if you don’t protect them, bad actors can exfiltrate data, DDoS your servers, or otherwise abuse them.
#ALL THAT REMAINS 1 WALKTHROUGH APP WRAPPER SERIES#
Many apps today are actually a front-end for a series of API calls.
