OAuth.ClientCredentials

The client can request an access token using only its client credentials (or other supported means of authentication) when the client is requesting access to the protected resources under its control, or those of another resource owner that have been previously arranged with the authorization server (the method of which is beyond the scope of this specification).

There's only one step in this process:

  • The client authenticates itself directly using credentials it owns.

After this step, the client owns an access_token that can be used to authorize any subsequent request.

Authenticate

type alias Authentication =
{ credentials : Credentials
, scope : List String
, url : Url
}

Request configuration for a ClientCredentials authentication

let authentication =
      -- Credentials needed for Basic authentication
      { credentials =
      -- Token endpoint of the resource provider
      , url = "<token-endpoint>"
      -- Scopes requested, can be empty
      , scope = ["read:whatever"]
      }
type alias Credentials =
{ clientId : String
, secret : String
}

Describes a couple of client credentials used for Basic authentication

  { clientId = "<my-client-id>"
  , secret = "<my-client-secret>"
  }
{ token : Token
, refreshToken : Maybe Token
, expiresIn : Maybe Int
, scope : List String
}

The response obtained as a result of an authentication (implicit or not)

  • token (REQUIRED): The access token issued by the authorization server.

  • refreshToken (OPTIONAL): The refresh token, which can be used to obtain new access tokens using the same authorization grant as described in Section 6.

  • expiresIn (RECOMMENDED): The lifetime in seconds of the access token. For example, the value "3600" denotes that the access token will expire in one hour from the time the response was generated. If omitted, the authorization server SHOULD provide the expiration time via other means or document the default value.

  • scope (OPTIONAL, if identical to the scope requested; otherwise, REQUIRED): The scope of the access token as described by Section 3.3.

type alias AuthenticationError =
{ error : ErrorCode
, errorDescription : Maybe String
, errorUri : Maybe String
}

Describes an OAuth error as a result of a request failure

  • error (REQUIRED): A single ASCII error code.

  • errorDescription (OPTIONAL) Human-readable ASCII text providing additional information, used to assist the client developer in understanding the error that occurred. Values for the errorDescription parameter MUST NOT include characters outside the set %x20-21 / %x23-5B / %x5D-7E.

  • errorUri (OPTIONAL): A URI identifying a human-readable web page with information about the error, used to provide the client developer with additional information about the error. Values for the errorUri parameter MUST conform to the URI-reference syntax and thus MUST NOT include characters outside the set %x21 / %x23-5B / %x5D-7E.

type alias RequestParts a =
{ method : String
, headers : List Header
, url : String
, body : Body
, expect : Expect a
, timeout : Maybe Float
, withCredentials : Bool
}

Parts required to build a request. This record is given to Http.request in order to create a new request and may be adjusted at will.

makeTokenRequest : Authentication -> RequestParts AuthenticationSuccess

Builds a the request components required to get a token from client credentials

let req : Http.Request TokenResponse
    req = makeTokenRequest authentication |> Http.request

Json Decoders

defaultAuthenticationSuccessDecoder : Decoder AuthenticationSuccess

Json decoder for a positive response. You may provide a custom response decoder using other decoders from this module, or some of your own craft.

defaultAuthenticationErrorDecoder : Decoder AuthenticationError

Json decoder for an errored response.

case res of
    Err (Http.BadStatus { body }) ->
        case Json.decodeString OAuth.ClientCredentials.defaultAuthenticationErrorDecoder body of
            Ok { error, errorDescription } ->
                doSomething


            _ ->

    _ ->
        someOtherError
defaultExpiresInDecoder : Decoder (Maybe Int)

Json decoder for an 'expire' timestamp
