Comments on: OAuth and the 4 hour work day http://knuthellan.com/2009/06/05/oauth-and-the-4-hour-work-day/ General geekyness and starting a company Sun, 20 May 2012 20:20:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: knuthellan http://knuthellan.com/2009/06/05/oauth-and-the-4-hour-work-day/#comment-58 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 19:11:40 +0000 http://knuthellan.wordpress.com/?p=92#comment-58 The OAuth system included a login page implemented in haml and based on the haml template for the rest of the site. I stored all persistent data including request, access tokens and remote service credentials in CouchDB.

I did not add the user page to revoke access at the same time, but the basic support for that was included. Adding it meant another haml view and some basic sinatra post handling. This addition was probably a couple of days work.

Sticky sessions in the load balancer will avoid problems related to request tokens not being synchronized between database replicas in time.

1) user’s authorization via Login page.
2) did you store all the request/access tokens in db
3)Did it include a website for users to revoke access to apps when needed?

It was about two weeks later before the full request signing between PHP and Ruby was working. Since getting this right is important, I would set aside a week to ensure it’s well tested and robust.
