Introduction

The DevDefined.OAuth-Examples project is a set of examples demonstrating using the DevDefined.OAuth library for implementing OAuth consumers and providers.

The DevDefined.OAuth project can be found here: 2

Current Examples

We currently have 4 examples in this project:

• ExampleConsumerSite - a simple webforms site - demonstrating an OAuth consumer for consuming an OAuth service that lists contacts (email addresses etc.)
• ExampleOAuthChannel - a simple WCF service - demonstrating an OAuth provider which securies a WCF service.
• ExampleProviderSite - a simple webforms site - demonstrating an OAuth provider which exposes a simple contacts service via an aspx page (Data.aspx).
• ExampleOpenSocialProvider - an example showing 2 open social gadgets, one that provides access to requested data via 3-legged OAuth, and another that just validates signed requests.
• ExampleKhanAcademyMVC - A rudimentary example of accessing the Khan Academy API, which it's slightly unusual OAuth flow.

Still to do

• Currently the WCF example and ExampleProviderSite overlap a bit, each example needs to be made more succinct.
• Add examples for both Microsoft ASP.Net MVC 2 and Castle Monorail web frameworks.
• Provide an example of refreshing a token.
• Add examples of consuming commmon 3rd party services via OAuth, i.e. twitter, facebook, goodreads etc.
• Write documentation/blog posts for each of the examples - showing the essentials of how they work.
