Writing a Two-legged OAuth provider in Django

I'm looking for a tutorial/example/explanation about writing a two-legged provider for OAuth in Django.

It's hard to find documentation about a OAuth provider, and even harder about a two-legged system...

Solution

  • '2 legged' is just normal OAuth request without an access token or access token secret. That's it. You still use the client credentials (identifier and secret) but use empty strings for the access token parameters. Depending on the server library you use, you can omit the oauth_token parameter when making the request.
