mOAuth - A Basic OAuth 2.0 Client/Server Implementation
=======================================================
mOAuth is a basic OAuth 2.0 client/server implementation designed for testing
and development of OAuth-based services. The client library supports
authorization of native macOS, iOS, and Linux applications with PKCE. The
server is both an Authorization Server and a Resource Server that supports:
- User account authentication/authorization using PAM
- Traditional web-based authorization grants with redirection as well as
resource owner password credentials grants
- Token introspection for services
- Basic Resource Server functionality with implicit and explicit ACLs
- Customizable web interface
Requirements
------------
mOAuth requires libcups v3 for its HTTPS and JWT support. If you are compiling
from source you'll need a C compiler (GCC and clang are fine) and a POSIX make
program (GNU make works).
Standards Implemented
---------------------
The specific standards mOAuth currently implements are:
- [The OAuth2 Authentication Framework (RFC6749)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749)
- [The OAuth2 Bearer Token (RFC6750)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6750)
- [OAuth 2.0 Dynamic Client Registration Protocol (RFC7591)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7591)
- [Proof Key for Code Exchange by OAuth Public Clients (RFC7636)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7636)
- [OAuth 2.0 Token Introspection (RFC7662)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7662)
- [OAuth 2.0 for Native Apps (RFC8252)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8252)
- [OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server Metadata (RFC8414)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8414)
Using mOAuth
------------
The simplest way to use mOAuth on Linux is to install the moauth snap with:
sudo snap install moauth
You can also build and install from source (see commands below) and then run
`moauthd` by hand.
Building mOAuth from Source
---------------------------
mOAuth uses the typical configure script and makefile build system and requires
a recent version of libcups v3 to provide the necessary HTTPS support.
Assuming everything in in the normal locations the following commands will
build and install mOAuth on your system to "/usr/local":
./configure
make
make install
The `--prefix` option can be used to override the default installation prefix,
for example:
./configure --prefix=/opt/moauth
