Hi there,

I'm struggling finding a usable gem which provides the following for a Rails 2.3.5 application:

  • we want to protect out API with oAuth 2; therefore a Controller for creating access/request Tokens and the models (Client, Token,...) are required
  • we want to consume oAuth2 Services like Facebook and Twitter

It would also be nice to have support for 3 legged and 2 legged authentication.

I found those gems, but they all have major drawbacks:

  • oauth-ruby (github.com/oauth/oauth-ruby)
    • i'm not quite sure if it already implements oauth2 mechanisms
    • more like a basic lib for services on top

  • oauth-plugin (github.com/pelle/oauth-plugin)
    • looks convenient BUT oauth2 only supported in rails3 branch :(

  • oauth2 (github.com/intridea/oauth2)
    • only for oAuth2 Consumers / no Provider Functionality

  • oauth2-ruby (github.com/aflatter/oauth2-ruby/tree/)
    • last Commit: 16.07.10 "DESCTRUCTIVE COMMIT" :(
    • based on oAuth2 Draft 00 (old!)

  • oauth2-provider (github.com/ThoughtWorksStudios/oauth2_provider)
    • last Commit: 21.10.10 - good
    • only Provider functionality :(
    • based on oAuth2 Draft 09 (quite recent)

Did anybody achieve those requirenments with one or a combination of those gems? Could you please provide me a direction?

Any help is much appreciated!
