Implement Oauth service provider

Question

Hi,

I would like to implement OAuth as a service provider for my website (Google App engine Java, and also CakePhp) but I could not find any good library/tutorial. Does anybody have good references?

Regards

Answer 1

This site contains some useful information:

http://hueniverse.com/oauth/guide/terminology/

including this tutorial/getting started guide:

and specifically for CakePHP:

for google app engine:

Answer 2

You will need to implement the OAuth provider within you application. You can use things like http://github.com/mohangk/appengine_oauth_provider to help you implement this.

Answer 3

This might actually be a more helpful guide to what you want to do, since it is specifically about building a OAuth Provider in PHP:
