I've added OpenID auth to an open source web app (CiviCRM), but now I need to make it work for API authentication (i.e. non-interactive) too. It seems that that's fairly difficult with OpenID, but am I just not looking in the right places?

cap10morgan: as far as I know, it is a bit difficult to get OpenID to work in an API authentication scenario. OpenID assumes a "dumb browser" so the authenticating client will have to follow redirects etc. like a browser.
- [18:56:19] <cap10morgan>
devlindaley: ok, that's what i thought. and it seems like OAuth doesn't really help there either...
- [18:57:03] <devlindaley>
cap10morgan: OAuth is great for when users are delegating to another program or service to access on their behalf
- [18:58:18] <devlindaley>
cap10morgan: but if you're just looking to have the users access their own data, in OAuth your program or client would register with the service and the user would delegate to their own client software

- [18:59:40] <cap10morgan>
yes, it's data that they would have access to if they logged in interactively via OpenID. But I'm trying not to place undue burden on API users by making them implement browser-like behavior just to use it.

- [19:01:59] <devlindaley>
well, OAuth is definitely the better fit here. The advantage is that the client doesn't take their login credentials. The less accustomed step is that the user will have to set up delegation to the client

- [19:03:45] <devlindaley>
you can set up the delegation beforehand methinks -- like "enable api access" which generates the OAuth tokens, sets up the access policy for those tokens and then they just use the tokens in the OAuth client
- [19:04:45] <cap10morgan>
ok, that's what i was wondering if you could do. i think i'll research that some more. thanks, devlindaley
