<p>The classical OAuth flow is also called a 3-leg OAuth flow as it involves 3 parties: the end user (resource owner), the third party service (client, consumer) and the resource server which is protected by OAuth filters. Typically a consumer offers a service feature that an end user requests and which requires the former to access one or more resources of this end user which are located at the resource server. For example, the consumer may need to access the end user's photos in order to print them and post to the user or read and possibly update a user's calendar in order to make a booking.</p>
<p>In order to make it happen, the third-party service application/consumer needs to register itself with the OAuth server. This happens out-of-band and after the registration the consumer gets back a consumer key and secret pair. For example, see this page for one <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/RegistrationForWebAppsAuto.html" rel="nofollow">approach</a>.

+<h1><a shape="rect" name="JAX-RSOAuth2-Introduction"></a>Introduction</h1>
+
+<p>CXF 2.6.0 provides an initial implementation of <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2" rel="nofollow">OAuth 2.0</a>. See also the <span class="error">[JAXRS OAuth]</span> page for the information about OAuth 1.0.</p>
+
+<p>Authorization Code, Implicit and Client Credentials grants are currently supported with the new grant handlers to be added later.</p>
+
+<p>OAuth2 is a new protocol which offers a complex yet elegant solution toward helping the end users (resource owners) authorize third-party providers to access their resources.</p>
+
+<p>The OAuth2 flow which is closely related to the original OAuth 1.0 3-leg flow is called Authorization Code and involves 3 parties: the end user, the third party service (client) and the resource server which is protected by OAuth2 filters. Typically a client offers a service feature that an end user requests and which requires the former to access one or more protected resources on behalf of this user which are located at the resource server. For example, the client may need to access the end user's photos in order to print them and post to the user or read and possibly update a user's calendar in order to make a booking.</p>
+
+<p>In order to make it happen, the third-party service application/client needs to register itself with the OAuth2 server. This happens out-of-band and after the registration the consumer gets back a consumer key and secret pair. Typically the client is expected to provide the name and description of the application, the application logo URI, one or more redirect URIs, and other information that may help the OAuth2 authorization server to identify this client to the end user at the authorization time. </p>
+
+<p>From then on, the authorization code flow works like this:<br clear="none">
+1. End User requests the third-party service using a browser.</p>
+
+<p>2. The client redirects the end user to OAuth2 Authorization Service, adding its client id, the state, redirect URI and the optional scope to the target URI. The state parameter represents the current end user's request, redirect URI - where the authorization code is expected to be returned to, and the scope is the list of opaque permissions that the client needs in order to access the protected resources.</p>
+
+<p>3. Authorization Service will retrieve the information about the client using its client id, build an HTML form and return it to the end user. The form will ask the user if a given third-party application can be allowed to access some resources on behalf of this user. </p>
+
+<p>4. If the user approves it then Authorization Service will generate an authorization code and redirect the user back to the redirect uri provided by the client, also adding a state parameter to the redirect URI. </p>
+
+<p>5. The client requests an access token from OAuth2 Access Token Service by providing an authorization code grant.</p>
+
+<p>6. After getting an access token token, the service finally proceeds with accessing the current user's resources and completes the user's request.</p>
+
+<p>As you can see the flow can be complex yet it is very effective. A number of issues may need to be taken care along the way such as managing expired tokens, making sure that the OAuth2 security layer is functioning properly and is not interfering with the end user itself trying to access its own resources, etc.</p>

+<h1><a shape="rect" name="JAX-RSOAuth2-DevelopingOAuthServers"></a>Developing OAuth Servers</h1>
+
+<p>OAuth2 server is the core piece of the complete OAuth2-based solution. Typically it contains 2 services for:<br clear="none">
+1. Authorizing request tokens by asking the end users to let consumers access some of their resources and returning the<br clear="none">
+ grants back to the consumer (Authorization Service)<br clear="none">
+2. Exchanging the token grants for access tokens (Access Token Service)</p>
+
+<p>CXF offers several JAX-RS service implementations that can be used to create the OAuth2 servers fast: <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth2/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth2/services/AuthorizationCodeGrantService.java">AuthorizationCodeGrantService</a> and <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth2/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth2/services/ImplicitGrantService.java">ImplicitGrantService</a> for managing the redirection-based flows, as well as <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth2/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth2/services/AccessTokenService.java">AccessTokenService</a> for exchanging the grants for new tokens.</p>
+
+<p>Note that some grants that do not require the redirection-based support, such as SAML2 one, etc, may only require an Access Token Service be operational.</p>
+
+<p>All of these services rely on the custom <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth2/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth2/provider/OAuthDataProvider.java">OAuthDataProvider</a> which persists the access tokens and converts the opaque scope values to the information that can be presented to the users. Additionally, <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth2/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth2/grants/code/AuthorizationCodeDataProvider.java">AuthorizationCodeDataProvider</a> is an OAuthDataProvider which can keep the temporarily information about the authorization code grants which needs to be removed after the tokens are requested in exchange.</p>
+
+<p>Writing your own OAuthDataProvider implementation is what is needed to get the OAuth2 server up and running. In many cases all you need to do is to persist or remove the Authorization Code Grant data, use one of the available utility classes to create a new access token and also persist it or remove the expired one, and finally convert the optional opaque scope values (if any are supported) to a more view-able information.</p>
+
+<h2><a shape="rect" name="JAX-RSOAuth2-RequestTokenService"></a>RequestTokenService </h2>
+
+<p>The main responsibility of <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth/services/RequestTokenService.java">RequestTokenService</a> is to create a temporarily request token and return it back to the consumer. It supports POST and GET requests and returns a form payload containing the new request token and its secret.</p>
+
+<p>Here is an example request log:</p>
+<div class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent">
+<pre class="code-xml">

+Encoding: ISO-8859-1

+
+Content-Length=[0],

+}
+</pre>
+</div></div>
+
+<p>It is an empty POST request which includes an Authorization OAuth header. The value of the header has a consumer key (obtained during the third-party registration), callback URI pointing to where AuthorizationRequestService will return an authorized token and a signature which was calculated using a consumer key and secret pair as <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5849#section-3.4.2" rel="nofollow">described in the specification</a>.</p>
+
+<p>First RequestTokenService validates the signature and then it retrieves a <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth/data/Client.java">Client</a> instance from OAuthDataProvider using a consumer key.</p>
+
+<p>Before asking OAuthDataProvider to generate a request token, it attempts to validate a callback URI against a <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth/data/Client.java">Client</a>'s application URI.</p>
+
+<p>Finally it delegates to OAuthDataProvider to create a request token, passing to it a populated <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth/data/RequestTokenRegistration.java">RequestTokenRegistration</a> bean. </p>
+
+<p>This bean references a Client instance, callback URI and a state. State is something that a consumer may also include during the request token request using a "state" parameter and will be returned back to the consumer alongside the verifier after the request token has been authorized. For example, it may represent a key that a consumer will use to retrieve the state of the request that it was processing when requesting a token. For OAuth 1.0<br clear="none">
+consumers, the request token itself may represent a good enough key for such purposes, but "state" may need to be used too and will become more useful for OAuth 2.0.</p>
+
+<p>The bean also includes "issuedAt" and "lifetime" values which represent the time a new token is about to be created and a configurable time in milliseconds that this token will 'live' for. OAuthDataProvider will be free to reset those values if needed before actually creating a request token.</p>
+
+<p>Finally, one more property that may be set on this bean instance: list of scopes. List of scopes represents optional permissions that the consumer may need to access the resources. These can be provided by an "x_oauth_scope" ("scope" in OAuth 2.0) request parameter, for example,</p>
+
+<div class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent">
+<pre class="code-xml">
+Authorization=[OAuth ...,
+ x_oauth_scope=<span class="code-quote">"readCalendar updateCalendar"</span>]
+</pre>
+</div></div>
+
+<p>It's expected that each of the x_oauth_scope values such as "readCalendar" and "updateCalendar" are translated into <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth/data/Permission.java">OAuthPermission</a>s during the creation of a new request token. If no x_oauth_scope parameter is provided then the OAuth data provider will likely assign a default OAuthPermission instance to the new token.</p>
+
+<p>After a new request token has been created by OAuthDataProvider, RequestTokenService returns the token key and secret pair to the consumer:</p>
+
+<div class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent">
+<pre class="code-xml">

+
+<h2><a shape="rect" name="JAX-RSOAuth2-AuthorizationRequestService"></a>AuthorizationRequestService</h2>
+
+<p>The main responsibility of AuthorizationRequestService is to present an end user with a form asking the user to allow or deny the consumer accessing some of the user resources. </p>
+
+<p>Remember that a third-party consumer redirects the current user to AuthorizationRequestService, for example, here is how a redirection may happen:</p>
+<div class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent">
+<pre class="code-xml">
+Response-Code: 303
+Headers: {Location=[http://localhost:8080/services/social/authorize?oauth_token=f4415e16-56ea-465f-9df1-8bd769253a7d]}
+</pre>
+</div></div>
+
+<p>The consumer application asks the current user (the browser) to go to a new address provided by the Location header and the follow-up request to AuthorizationRequestService will look like this:</p>
+
+<div class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent">
+<pre class="code-xml">
+Address: http://localhost:8080/services/social/authorize?oauth_token=6dfd5e52-236c-4939-8df8-a53212f7d2a2
+Http-Method: GET
+Content-Type:

+Accept=[text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8],
+Referer=[http://localhost:8080/services/forms/reservation.jsp],
+...
+}
+</pre>
+</div></div>
+
+<p>First, AuthorizationRequestService will retrieve <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth/data/RequestToken.java">RequestToken</a> (which extends the base <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth/data/Token.java">Token</a> class) from OAuthDataProvider using the value provided by the "oauth_token" query parameter. </p>
+
+<p>Next it uses this token (which also links to Client) to populate an instance of <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth/data/OAuthAuthorizationData.java">OAuthAuthorizationData</a> bean and returns it. OAuthAuthorizationData contains application name and URI properties, optional list of <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth/data/Permission.java">Permission</a>s and URIs. </p>
+
+<p>Two other important OAuthAuthorizationData properties are "oauthToken" and "authenticityToken", both are important for processing the decision request coming from the authorization form. The former is a request token key which will be used by AuthorizationRequestService to retrieve the RequestToken again and the latter for validating that the current session has not been hijacked - AuthorizationRequestService generates a random key, stores it in a Servlet HTTPSession instance and expects the returned authenticityToken value to match it - this is a recommended approach and it also implies that the authenticityToken value is hidden from a user, for example, it's kept in a 'hidden' form field.</p>
+
+<p>The helper "replyTo" property is an absolute URI identifying the AuthorizationRequestService handler processing the user decision and can be used by view handlers when building the forms or by other OAuthAuthorizationData handlers.</p>
+
+<p>So the populated OAuthAuthorizationData is finally returned. Note that it's a JAXB XMLRootElement-annotated bean and can be processed by registered JAXB or JSON providers given that AuthorizationRequestService supports producing "application/xml" and "application/json" (See the OAuth Without Browser section below for more). But in this case we have the end user working with a browser so an HTML form is what is really expected back.</p>
+
+<p>AuthorizationRequestService supports producing "text/html" and simply relies on a registered <a shape="rect" href="http://cxf.apache.org/docs/jax-rs-redirection.html#JAX-RSRedirection-WithRequestDispatcherProvider">RequestDispatcherProvider</a> to set the OAuthAuthorizationData bean as an HttpServletRequest attribute and redirect the response to a view handler (can be JSP or some other servlet) to actually build the form and return it to the user. Alternatively, registering <a shape="rect" href="http://cxf.apache.org/docs/jax-rs-advanced-xml.html#JAX-RSAdvancedXML-XSLTsupport">XSLTJaxbProvider</a> would also be a good option for creating HTML views. </p>
+
+<p>Assuming RequestDispatcherProvider is used, the following example log shows the initial response from AuthorizationRequestService:</p>
+<div class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent">

If OAuthAuthorizationData has a list of Permissions set then addig the information about the permissions is needed, same for a list of URIs.</p>
+
+<p>Next the user makes a decision and selects a button allowing or denying the consumer accessing the resources. AuthorizationRequestService does not need to know how a user has been asked to make the decision, but it expects to receive a form-based submission containing the following 3 parameters, named "session_authenticity_token" and "oauth_token" with values matching those of OAuthAuthorizationData's "authenticityToken" and "oauthToken" properties, and "oAuthDecision" with either "allow" or "deny" values: </p>

+<h2><a shape="rect" name="JAX-RSOAuth2-WritingOAuthDataProvider"></a>Writing OAuthDataProvider</h2>
+
+<p>Using CXF OAuth service implementations will help a lot with setting up an OAuth server. As you can see from the above sections, these services rely on a custom <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth/provider/OAuthDataProvider.java">OAuthDataProvider</a> implementation.</p>
+
+<p>The main task of OAuthDataProvider is to persist request and access tokens and generate authorization/verifier keys. The way it's done is really application-specific. Consider starting with a basic memory based implementation and then move on to keeping the data in some DB.</p>
+
+<p>Note that OAuthDataProvider supports retrieving <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth/data/Client.java">Client</a> instances but it has no methods for creating or removing Clients. The reason for it is that the process of registering third-party consumers is very specific to a particular OAuth application, so CXF does not offer a registration support service and hence OAuthDataProvider has no Client create/update methods. You will likely need to do something like this:</p>

That would make it more complex for the OAuth server endpoint to manage both OAuth (third-party consumer) and the regular user authentication - that can be done, see more on it below in the Design considerations section, but the simpler option is to simply get AuthorizationRequestService under the control of the security filter enforcing the end user authentication:</p>

+
+<p>The above shows a fragment of the JAX-RS service managing the access to user resources from authorized 3rd-party clients (see the Design Considerations section for more information).</p>
+
+<p>The injected MessageContext provides an access to <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth/data/OAuthContext.java">OAuthContext</a> which has been set by OAuth filters described in the previous section. OAuthContext will act as a container of the information which can be useful to the custom application code which do not need to deal with the OAuth internals which will likely change between OAuth 1.0 and OAuth 2.0. At the moment OAuthContext provides an access to <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth/data/UserSubject.java">UserSubject</a> which is created by CXF AuthorizationService at the moment of the end user authorizing the third-party client and captures the end user's login name (and roles which will be available if

+<h1><a shape="rect" name="JAX-RSOAuth2-Clientsidesupport"></a>Client-side support</h1>
+
+<p>When developing a third party application which needs to participate in OAuth flows one has to write the code that will redirect users to OAuth AuthorizationRequestService, interact with RequestTokenService and AccessTokenService in order to get request and access tokens as well as correctly build Authorization OAuth headers when accessing the end users' resources. JAX-RS makes it straightforward to support the redirection, while <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth/client/OAuthClientUtils.java">OAuthClientUtils</a> class makes it possible to encapsulate most of the complexity away from the client application code. </p>
+
+<p>OAuthClientUtils has utility methods for getting request and access tokens, the consumer is expected to provide a properly initialized WebClient pointing to either RequestTokenService and AccessTokenService, Consumer bean containing the registration key and secret, a callback URI for requesting a request token and the request Token and the verifier for requesting the access token which is all quite straightforward. It also helps to create a proper URI for redirecting to AuthorizationRequestService. A correct Authorization header will also need to be used when accessing the user resources at the resource server and OAuthClientUtils will help with creating this header as well.</p>
+
+<p>For example, the following custom code can be used by the third-party application:</p>
+<div class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent">

+</div></div>
+
+<p>The reason such a simple wrapper can be introduced is to minimize the exposure to OAuth of the main application code to the bare minimum, this is why<br clear="none">
+in this example OAuthServiceExceptions are caught, presumably logged and null values are returned which will indicate to the main code that the request failed. Obviously, OAuthClientUtils can be used directly as well.</p>

+
+<h2><a shape="rect" name="JAX-RSOAuth2-ClientrequestsPreAuthorizedRequestToken"></a>Client requests PreAuthorized RequestToken</h2>

+<p>In this variation the client accesses the request token as usual but skips the explicit authorization step.<br clear="none">
+Instead, after the request token has been obtained, it requests the access token without providing an "oauth_verifier" parameter. <br clear="none">
+For this to work RequestToken needs to be pre-authorized and have its UserSubject property set. </p>

+<p>This is the only distinction from the typical 3-OAuth flow. OAuth filters will validate the request as usual.</p>

+
+<p>In this mode the Client is expected to reference a pre-authorized AccessToken. OAuth filters validate this token as usual.</p>
+
+<h2><a shape="rect" name="JAX-RSOAuth2-OnlyConsumerKeyandSecretinAuthorizationheader"></a>Only Consumer Key and Secret in Authorization header</h2>

+<h1><a shape="rect" name="JAX-RSOAuth2-OAuthWithoutaBrowser"></a>OAuth Without a Browser</h1>
+
+<p>When an end user is accessing the 3rd party application and is authorizing it later on, it's usually expected that the user is relying on a browser. <br clear="none">
+However, supporting other types of end users is easy enough. Writing the client code that processes the redirection requests from the 3rd party application and AuthorizationRequestService is simple with JAX-RS and additionally CXF can be configured to do auto-redirects on the client side.</p>
+
+<p>Also note that AuthorizationRequestService can return XML or JSON <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth/data/OAuthAuthorizationData.java">OAuthAuthorizationData</a> representations. That makes it easy for a client code to get OAuthAuthorizationData and offer a pop-up window or get the input from the command-line. Authorizing the third-party application might even be automated in this case - which can lead to a complete 3-leg OAuth flow implemented without a human user being involved.</p>
+
+<h1><a shape="rect" name="JAX-RSOAuth2-Designconsiderations"></a>Design considerations</h1>
+

+
+<h2><a shape="rect" name="JAX-RSOAuth2-ControllingtheAccesstoResourceServer"></a>Controlling the Access to Resource Server</h2>
+
+<p>One of the most important issues one need to resolve is how to partition a URI space of the resource server application.</p>
+
+<p>We have two different parties trying to access it, the end users which access the resource server to get to the resources which they own and 3rd party consumers which have been authorized by the end users to access some of their resources. </p>
+
+<p>In the former case the way the authentication is managed is completely up to the resource server application: basic authentication, two-way TLS, OpenId (more on it below), you name it.</p>
+
+<p>In the latter case an OAuth filter must enforce that the 3rd party consumer has been registered using the provided consumer key and that it has a valid access token (authorization key in OAuth 2.0) which represents the end user's approval. It's kind of the authentication and the authorization check at the same time.</p>
+
+<p>Letting both parties access the resource server via the same URI(s) complicates the life for the security filters but all the parties are only aware of the single resource server URI which all of them will use.</p>
+
+<p>Providing different access points to end users and consumers may significantly simplify the authentication process - the possible downside is that multiple access points need to be mantained by the resource server.</p>
+
+<p>Both options are discussed next.</p>
+
+<h3><a shape="rect" name="JAX-RSOAuth2-Sharingthesameaccesspathbetweenendusersandconsumers"></a>Sharing the same access path between end users and consumers</h3>
+
+<p>The first problem which needs to be addressed is how to distinguish end users from third-party consumers and get both parties authenticated as required.<br clear="none">
+Perhaps the simplest option is to extend a CXF OAuth filter (JAX-RS or servlet one), check Authorization header, if it is OAuth then delegate to the superclass, alternatively - proceed with authenticating the end users:</p>

+
+<p>Lets assume that the 3rd party consumer has been allowed to read the public user Calendars at "/calendar/{id}" only, how to make sure that the consumer won't try to:<br clear="none">
+1. update the calendar available at the same path <br clear="none">
+2. read the private Calendars available at "/calendar/{id}/private"</p>
+
+<p>As noted above, Client, AccessToken (in its Token superclass) and <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/rs/security/oauth-parent/oauth/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/rs/security/oauth/data/OAuthPermission.java">OAuthPermission</a> all have an optional URIs property. Thus one way to solve the problem with the private calendar is to add, say, a uri "/calendar/{id}" or "/calendar/1" (etc) property to OAuthPermission (representing a scope like "readCalendar") and the OAuth filter will make sure no subresources beyond "/calendar/{id}" can be accessed. Note, adding a "*" at the end of a given URI property, for example, "/a*" will let the consumer to access "/a", "/a/b", etc.</p>
+
+<p>Solving the problem with preventing the update can be easily solved by adding an httpVerb property to a given OAuthPermission.</p>
+
+<p>One more option is to rely on the role-based access control and have @RolesAllowed allocated such that only users in roles like "consumer" or "enduser" can invoke the getCalendar() method and let only those in the "enduser" role access getPrivateCalendar() and updateCalendar(). OAuthPermission can help here too as described in the section on using OAuth fiters.</p>
+
+<h3><a shape="rect" name="JAX-RSOAuth2-Providingdifferentaccesspointstoendusersandconsumers"></a>Providing different access points to end users and consumers</h3>
+
+<p>Rather than letting both the end users and 3rd party consumers use the same URI such as "http://myapp.com/service/calendars/{id}", one may want to introduce two URIs, one for end users and one for third-party consumers, for example, "http://myapp.com/service/calendars/{id}" - for endusers, "http://myapp.com/partners/calendars/{id}" - for the 3rd party consumers and deploy 2 jaxrs endpoints, where one is protected by the security filter checking the end users, and the one - by OAuth filters. </p>
+
+<p>Additionally the endpoint managing the 3rd party consumers will deploy a resource which will offer a resticted URI space support. For example, if the application will only allow 3rd party consumers to read calendars then this resource will only have a method supporting @GET and "/calendar/{id}". </p>
+
+<h2><a shape="rect" name="JAX-RSOAuth2-SingleSignOn"></a>Single Sign On</h2>
+
+<p>When dealing with authenticating the end users, having an SSO solution in place is very handy. This is because the end user interacts with both the third-party and its resource server web applications and is also redirected from the consumer application to the resource server and back again. OpenID or say a WebBrowser SSO profile can help - CXF may offer some support in this area. </p>
+
+<h1><a shape="rect" name="JAX-RSOAuth2-WhatIsNext"></a>What Is Next</h1>
+
+<p>Fine tuning the current OAuth 1.0 will be continued and the feedback from the implementers will be welcomed.<br clear="none">
+OAuth 2.0 is going to become a very major specification in the whole RESTful space and CXF will implement the selected OAuth 2.0 profiles. Among other things, OAuth 2.0 will also rely on SAML in one of the extensions and we'll look into it too. Writing a complete OAuth application will most likely require some SSO solution so some support from CXF can be expected.</p>
