# Net::OAuth2::Profile(3pm)

OAuth2 access profiles

## NAME

Net::OAuth2::Profile - OAuth2 access profiles

## INHERITANCE

```
 Net::OAuth2::Profile is extended by
   Net::OAuth2::Profile::Password
   Net::OAuth2::Profile::WebServer
```

## SYNOPSIS

```
  See Net::OAuth2::Profile::WebServer
  and Net::OAuth2::Profile::Password
```

## DESCRIPTION

Base class for OAuth \`profiles'.  Currently implemented:

- •

  Net::OAuth2::Profile::WebServer

- •

  Net::OAuth2::Profile::Password

You may want to use the OAuth2 documentation at Google \<https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2WebServer\> to understand the process and the parameters.

## METHODS

### Constructors

- Net::OAuth2::Profile-\>**new**(%options)

  Next to the `%options` listed below, it is possible to provide settings for each of the \<${commands}\> `"access_token"`, `"protected_resource"`, `"authorize"`, and `"refresh_token"`.  For each command, you can set

  - •

    ${command}\_url =\> URI\|STRING

    The absolute uri which needs to be used to be addressed to execute the `$command`.  May be specified as URI object or STRING.

  - •

    ${command}\_path =\> PATH

    As previous, but relative to the `"site"` option value.

  - •

    ${command}\_method =\> 'GET'\|'POST'

    Which method to use for the call (by default POST).

  - •

    ${command}\_param  =\> \[\]

    Additional parameters for the command.

  ```
   -Option           --Default
    client_id          <required>
    client_secret      <required>
    grant_type         <required>
    hd                 undef
    scope              undef
    secrets_in_params  <true>
    site               undef
    state              undef
    token_scheme       'auth-header:Bearer'
    user_agent         <created internally>
  ```

  - client\_id =\> STRING

    - client\_secret =\> STRING

    - grant\_type =\> STRING

    - hd =\> STRING

    Passthrough parameter that allows you to restrict one's login to a particular Google Apps domain. The application making the call should check that the returned value for hd matches the expected domain, as the user can change the hd parameter in the original request.

    See *https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OpenIDConnect#hd-param* for more details.

  - scope =\> STRING

    - secrets\_in\_params =\> BOOLEAN

    The client secrets are passed both via an Authentication header, as via query parameters in the URI.  The former is required to be accepted by rfc6749, the latter is optional.  However: many servers use the query parameters only.

    QQ Catalyst, on the other hand, does refuse requests with these parameters in the query.  So, with this flag explicitly set to false, only the Auth header gets included.

  - site =\> URI

    - state =\> STRING

    - token\_scheme =\> SCHEME

    See **add\_token()** for the supported SCHEMEs.  Scheme `"auth-header"` is probably the only sane default, because that works with any kind of http requests, where the other options have limited or possible disturbing application.

    Before \[0.53\], the default was 'auth-header:OAuth'.

    Specify the method to submit authenticated requests to the service. By default, add the access token as a header, such as: "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN".  Some services require that the header will be different, i.e. "Authorization: OAuth TOKEN", for which case specify token\_scheme 'auth-header:Oauth'.

    To add the access token as a uri-parameter: 'uri-query:oauth\_token' (in this case, the parameter name will be oauth\_token) Merge the access token inside a form body via 'form-body:oauth\_token'

  - user\_agent =\> LWP::UserAgent object

    ### Accessors

- $obj-\>**bearer\_token\_scheme**()

  - $obj-\>**grant\_type**()

  - $obj-\>**hd**()

  - $obj-\>**id**()

  - $obj-\>**scope**()

  - $obj-\>**secret**()

  - $obj-\>**site**()

  - $obj-\>**state**()

  - $obj-\>**user\_agent**()

  ### Actions

*HTTP*

- $obj-\>**request**( $request, \[$more\] )

  Send the `$request` (a HTTP::Request object) to the server, calling LWP::UserAgent method `"request()"`.  This method will NOT add security token information to the message.

- $obj-\>**request\_auth**( $token, \<$request \| \<$method, $uri, \[$header, $content\]\>\> )

  Send an authorized request: the `$token` information gets included in the request object.  Returns the answer (HTTP::Response).

  example:

  ```
    my $auth  = Net::OAuth2::Profile::WebServer->new(...);
    my $token = $auth->get_access_token($code, ...);
    # possible...
    my $resp  = $auth->request_auth($token, GET => $uri, $header, $content);
    my $resp  = $auth->request_auth($token, $request);
    # nicer (?)
    my $resp  = $token->get($uri, $header, $content);
    my $resp  = $token->request($request);
  ```

### Helpers

- $obj-\>**add\_token**($request, $token, $scheme)

  Merge information from the `$token` into the `$request` following the the bearer token `$scheme`.  Supported schemes:

  - •

    auth-header or auth-header:REALM

    Adds an `"Authorization"` header to requests.  The default REALM is `"OAuth"`, but `"Bearer"` and `"OAuth2"` may work as well.

  - •

    uri-query or uri-query:FIELD

    Adds the token to the query parameter list. The default FIELD name used is `"oauth_token"`.

  - •

    form-body or form-body:FIELD

    Adds the token to the www-form-urlencoded body of the request. The default FIELD name used is `"oauth_token"`.

- $obj-\>**build\_request**($method, $uri, $params)

  Returns a HTTP::Request object.  `$params` is an HASH or an ARRAY-of-PAIRS of query parameters.

- $obj-\>**params\_from\_response**($response, $reason)

  Decode information from the `$response` by the server (an HTTP::Response object). The `$reason` for this answer is used in error messages.

- $obj-\>**site\_url**( \<$uri\|$path\>, $params )

  Construct a URL to address the site.  When a full `$uri` is passed, it appends the `$params` as query parameters.  When a `$path` is provided, it is relative to new(site).
