Class structure for GoaBackendOAuth2Provider.

goa_backend_oauth2_provider_get_authorization_uri ()

const gchar *       goa_backend_oauth2_provider_get_authorization_uri
                                                        (GoaBackendOAuth2Provider *provider);

Gets the authorization endpoint used for authenticating the user and obtaining authorization.

You should not include any parameters in the returned URI. If you need to include additional parameters than the standard ones, override GoaBackendOAuth2ProviderClass.build_authorization_uri - see goa_backend_oauth2_provider_build_authorization_uri() for more details.

This is a pure virtual method - a subclass must provide an implementation.

const gchar *       goa_backend_oauth2_provider_get_client_id
                                                        (GoaBackendOAuth2Provider *provider);

This is a pure virtual method - a subclass must provide an implementation.

goa_backend_oauth2_provider_get_client_secret ()

const gchar *       goa_backend_oauth2_provider_get_client_secret
                                                        (GoaBackendOAuth2Provider *provider);

Gets the client_secret associated with the client.

This is a pure virtual method - a subclass must provide an implementation.

goa_backend_oauth2_provider_build_authorization_uri ()

gchar *             goa_backend_oauth2_provider_build_authorization_uri
                                                        (GoaBackendOAuth2Provider *provider,
                                                         const gchar *authorization_uri,
                                                         const gchar *escaped_redirect_uri,
                                                         const gchar *escaped_client_id,
                                                         const gchar *escaped_scope);

Builds the URI that can be opened in a web browser (or embedded web browser widget) to start authenticating an user.

The default implementation just returns the expected URI (e.g. http://example.com/dialog/oauth2?response_type=code&redirect_uri=https3A%2F2Fclient%2Eexample2Ecom%2Fcb&client_id=foo&scope=email20stuff) - override (and chain up) if you e.g. need to to pass additional parameters.

The authorization_uri, escaped_redirect_uri, escaped_client_id and escaped_scope parameters originate from the result of the the goa_backend_oauth2_provider_get_authorization_uri(), goa_backend_oauth2_provider_get_redirect_uri(), goa_backend_oauth2_provider_get_client_id() and goa_backend_oauth2_provider_get_scope() methods with the latter three escaped using g_uri_escape_string().

goa_backend_oauth2_provider_get_use_external_browser ()

gboolean            goa_backend_oauth2_provider_get_use_external_browser
                                                        (GoaBackendOAuth2Provider *provider);

Returns whether an external browser (the users default browser) should be used for user interaction.

If an external browser is used, then the dialogs presented in goa_backend_provider_add_account() and goa_backend_provider_refresh_account() will show a simple "Paste authorization code here" instructions along with an entry and button.

This is a virtual method where the default implementation returns FALSE.

goa_backend_oauth2_provider_get_identity_sync ()

gchar *             goa_backend_oauth2_provider_get_identity_sync
                                                        (GoaBackendOAuth2Provider *provider,
                                                         const gchar *access_token,
                                                         gchar **out_name,
                                                         GCancellable *cancellable,
                                                         GError **error);

Method that returns the identity corresponding to access_token.

The identity is needed because all authentication happens out of band. The only requirement is that the returned identity is unique - for example, for GoaBackendGoogleProvider the returned identity is the email address, for GoaBackendFacebookProvider it's the user name. In addition to the identity, an implementation also returns a name that is more suitable for presentation (the identity could be a GUID for example) and doesn't have to be unique.

The calling thread is blocked while the identity is obtained.

goa_backend_oauth2_provider_get_access_token_sync ()

gchar *             goa_backend_oauth2_provider_get_access_token_sync
                                                        (GoaBackendOAuth2Provider *provider,
                                                         GoaObject *object,
                                                         gboolean force_refresh,
                                                         gint *out_access_token_expires_in,
                                                         GCancellable *cancellable,
                                                         GError **error);

Synchronously gets an access token for object. The calling thread is blocked while the operation is pending.

The resulting token is typically read from the local cache so most of the time only a local roundtrip to the storage for the token cache (e.g. gnome-keyring-daemon) is needed. However, the operation may involve refreshing the token with the service provider so a full network round-trip may be needed.

Note that multiple calls are serialized to avoid multiple outstanding requests to the service provider.

This operation may fail if e.g. unable to refresh the credentials or if network connectivity is not available. Note that even if a token is returned, the returned token isn't guaranteed to work - use goa_backend_provider_ensure_credentials_sync() if you need stronger guarantees.
