Add section on implementing OAuth #15

Open lyndsysimon opened 9 years ago

lyndsysimon commented 9 years ago

Several of our interns have written addons that require the user to authorize OSF access to their private resources via OAuth. We are using a wrapper to make OAuth easier, but there are some non-obvious stumbling blocks.

Per @KushG, it isn't obvious how state tokens (nonces) are used to connect the initial callback from the service to the user or node who initiated the request. We could likely wrap this functionality to make it even easier.

I see. What's the starting point or specific doc/code file that gives more info. ?
