Description

GoaOAuthProvider is an abstract base class for OAuth 1.0a compliant implementations as defined by RFC 5849. Additionally, the code works with providers implementing OAuth Session 1.0 Draft 1 for refreshing access tokens.

Subclasses must implement GoaOAuthProviderClass.get_consumer_key, GoaOAuthProviderClass.get_consumer_secret, GoaOAuthProviderClass.get_request_uri, GoaOAuthProviderClass.get_authorization_uri, GoaOAuthProviderClass.get_token_uri, GoaOAuthProviderClass.get_callback_uri and GoaOAuthProviderClass.get_identity_sync methods.

Additionally, the GoaProviderClass.get_provider_type, GoaProviderClass.get_provider_name, GoaProviderClass.build_object (this should chain up to its parent class) methods must be implemented.

Note that the GoaProviderClass.add_account, GoaProviderClass.refresh_account and GoaProviderClass.ensure_credentials_sync methods do not need to be implemented - this type implements these methods.

Functions

                                const gchar *escaped_oauth_token);

Builds the URI that can be opened in a web browser (or embedded web browser widget) to start authenticating an user.

The default implementation just returns the expected URI (e.g. http://example.com/dialog/oauth?auth_token=1234567890)

  • override (and chain up) if you e.g. need to to pass additional parameters.

The authorization_uri parameter originate from the result of the the goa_oauth_provider_get_authorization_uri() method. The escaped_oauth_token parameter is the temporary credentials identifier escaped using g_uri_escape_string().

Parameters

provider

A GoaOAuthProvider.

 

authorization_uri

An authorization URI.

 

escaped_oauth_token

An escaped oauth token.

 

Returns

An authorization URI that must be freed with g_free().

goa_oauth_provider_get_use_mobile_browser ()

gboolean
goa_oauth_provider_get_use_mobile_browser
                               (GoaOAuthProvider *provider);

Returns whether there is a need for the embedded browser to identify itself as running on a mobile phone in order to get a more compact version of the approval page.

This is a virtual method where the default implementation returns FALSE.

Parameters

provider

A GoaOAuthProvider.

 

Returns

TRUE if the embedded browser should identify itself as running on a mobile platform, FALSE otherwise.


goa_oauth_provider_is_deny_node ()

gboolean
goa_oauth_provider_is_deny_node (GoaOAuthProvider *provider,
                                 WebKitDOMNode *node);

Checks whether node is the HTML UI element that the user can use to deny permission to access his account. Usually they are either a WebKitDOMHTMLButtonElement or a WebKitDOMHTMLInputElement.

Please note that providers may have multiple such elements in their UI and this method should catch all of them.

This is a virtual method where the default implementation returns FALSE.

Parameters

provider

A GoaOAuthProvider.

 

node

A WebKitDOMNode.

 

Returns

TRUE if the node can be used to deny permission.


goa_oauth_provider_is_identity_node ()

gboolean
goa_oauth_provider_is_identity_node (GoaOAuthProvider *provider,
                                     WebKitDOMHTMLInputElement *element);

Checks whether element is the HTML UI element that the user can use to identify herself at the provider.

This is a pure virtual method - a subclass must provide an implementation.

Parameters

provider

A GoaOAuthProvider.

 

element

A WebKitDOMHTMLInputElement.

 

Returns

TRUE if the element can be used to deny permission.


goa_oauth_provider_is_password_node ()

gboolean
goa_oauth_provider_is_password_node (GoaOAuthProvider *provider,
                                     WebKitDOMHTMLInputElement *element);

Checks whether element is the HTML UI element that the user can use to enter her password. This can be used to offer a GoaPasswordBased interface by saving the user's password. Providers usually frown upon doing this, so this is not recommended.

This is a virtual method where the default implementation returns FALSE.

Parameters

provider

A GoaOAuthProvider.

 

element

A WebKitDOMHTMLInputElement

 

Returns

TRUE if element can be used to enter the password.


goa_oauth_provider_add_account_key_values ()

void
goa_oauth_provider_add_account_key_values
                               (GoaOAuthProvider *provider,
                                GVariantBuilder *builder);

Hook for implementations to add key/value pairs to the key-file when creating an account.

This is a virtual method where the default implementation does nothing.

Parameters

provider

A GoaProvider.

 

builder

A GVariantBuilder for a a{ss} variant.

 

goa_oauth_provider_get_identity_sync ()

gchar *
goa_oauth_provider_get_identity_sync (GoaOAuthProvider *provider,
                                      const gchar *access_token,
                                      const gchar *access_token_secret,
                                      gchar **out_presentation_identity,
                                      GCancellable *cancellable,
                                      GError **error);

Method that returns the identity corresponding to access_token and access_token_secret .

The identity is needed because all authentication happens out of band. In addition to the identity, an implementation also returns a presentation identity that is more suitable for presentation (the identity could be a GUID for example).

The calling thread is blocked while the identity is obtained.

This is a pure virtual method - a subclass must provide an implementation.

Parameters

provider

A GoaOAuthProvider.

 

access_token

A valid OAuth 1.0 access token.

 

access_token_secret

The valid secret for access_token .

 

out_presentation_identity

Return location for presentation identity or NULL.

[out]

cancellable

A GCancellable or NULL.

[allow-none]

error

Return location for error or NULL.

 

Returns

The identity or NULL if error is set. The returned string must be freed with g_free().


goa_oauth_provider_get_access_token_sync ()

gchar *
goa_oauth_provider_get_access_token_sync
                               (GoaOAuthProvider *provider,
                                GoaObject *object,
                                gboolean force_refresh,
                                gchar **out_access_token_secret,
                                gint *out_access_token_expires_in,
                                GCancellable *cancellable,
                                GError **error);

Synchronously gets an access token for object . The calling thread is blocked while the operation is pending.

The resulting token is typically read from the local cache so most of the time only a local roundtrip to the storage for the token cache (e.g. gnome-keyring-daemon) is needed. However, the operation may involve refreshing the token with the service provider so a full network round-trip may be needed.

Note that multiple calls are serialized to avoid multiple outstanding requests to the service provider.

This operation may fail if e.g. unable to refresh the credentials or if network connectivity is not available. Note that even if a token is returned, the returned token isn't guaranteed to work - use goa_provider_ensure_credentials_sync() if you need stronger guarantees.

Parameters

provider

A GoaOAuthProvider.

 

object

A GoaObject.

 

force_refresh

If set to TRUE, forces a refresh of the access token, if possible.

 

out_access_token_secret

The secret for the return access token.

[out]

out_access_token_expires_in

Return location for how many seconds the returned token is valid for (0 if unknown) or NULL.

[out]

cancellable

A GCancellable or NULL.

[allow-none]

error

Return location for error or NULL.

 

Returns

The access token or NULL if error is set. The returned string must be freed with g_free().


goa_oauth_provider_parse_request_token_error ()

gchar *
goa_oauth_provider_parse_request_token_error
                               (GoaOAuthProvider *provider,
                                RestProxyCall *call);

Tries to parse the headers and payload within call to provide a human readable error message in case the request token could not be fetched.

This is a pure virtual method - a subclass must provide an implementation.

Parameters

provider

A GoaOAuthProvider.

 

call

The RestProxyCall that was used to fetch the request token.

 

Returns

A human readable error message or NULL if the cause of the error could not be determined. The returned string must be freed with g_free().
