ndg-oauth-client 0.5.1

OAuth 2.0 client

This is an OAuth 2.0 client library and WSGI middleware filter.

It supports simple string-based bearer token and a custom extension to enable
the use of X.509 certificates as tokens. The latter has been added to enable
a SLCS (Short-lived Credential Service) to issue delegated X.509-based
credentials using OAuth.

Releases
========
0.5.1
-----
New pseudo release to keep in sync with ndg_oauth_server package versioning. No
changes from 0.4.0. New ndg_oauth_server 0.5.1 contains enhancements from W
van Engen including support for password based authentication for clients. See
ndg_oauth_server package for details.

0.4.0
-----
* Revised examples in ndg.oauth.client.examples. bearer_tok uses bearer token
to secure access to a simple html page on a resource server, slcs is an
example protecting a short-lived credential service aka Online Certificate
Authority. This requires the ContrailOnlineCAClient package and should be
used in conjunction with the equivalent example in the ndg_oauth_server
example.
* Revised ndg.oauth.client.lib.oauth2client.Oauth2Client to include support for
bearer access token passed in Authorization header to resource server.
