Auth client library for Swift command-line tools and cloud services. Supports OAuth1, OAuth2, and Google Application Default Credentials.

Auth Library for Swift

This project contains Swift packages that can be used to write command-line tools and cloud services that use OAuth to authenticate and authorize access to remote services.

Currently these packages support OAuth1 and OAuth2. They are designed to work on OS X systems and on Linux systems that are running in the Google Cloud.

• On OS X systems, OAuth tokens can be obtained using the locally-installed browser and a local web server that is automatically run in the command-line client.

• On Linux systems, OAuth tokens can be obtained automatically from the Google Cloud Metadata Service.

• On both Linux and OS X systems, OAuth tokens can be obtained automatically for Google Cloud Service Accounts.

Usage and Examples

Sources/Examples contains examples that illustrate OAuth1 and OAuth2 signin for various services. Each requires valid application credentials to run. See the various service providers for details.

The BrowserTokenProvider classes use a local web server to implement "three-legged OAuth" signin in which users grant permission in a browser that a provider's server redirects to the client server with a code. These providers look for OAuth configuration information in "credentials" YAML files that are expected to be in $HOME/.credentials. Sample credentials files are in credentials and include client IDs, client secrets, and OAuth service URLs. When OAuth services require registered callback URLs, these should be set to http://localhost:8080/SERVICE/callback where SERVICE is specified in the corresponding credentials YAML file. The temporary web server runs locally on port 8080.

Credits

• The local web server is built using swift-nio/http.
• HMAC and SHA1 hashing is performed using CryptoSwift.
• RSA signing of service account JWT tokens uses BigInt.

Disclaimer

This is work in progress toward great server-side Swift software. Please take care when using this in production projects: always refer to a tagged version and be aware that interfaces may change in future releases.
