I've been implementing an OAuth login via the Google Identity toolkit in php. I've got as far as getting an authenticated session, the userdata, id, photo etc, which seems to be working more or less ok.
However, I'd like to be able to login using methods that don't rely on redirection on the user's browser (thinking of remote APIs for an application), but bit lost on how to achieve this.
Imagine a request which is something like:
$details = new stdClass();
$details->secret = $config->secret;
$details->client_id = $config->client_id;
$details->app_name = 'my awesome oauth app';
$details->login = array();
$details->login['email'] = 'some google account email @ example.com';
$details->login['password'] = '1234';
$token = $this->do_auth($details);
if($token) {
// do stuff, setup cookies, insert token in session table etc
}
I'm using CodeIgniter. Are there any libraries that can do this..? I've seen android apps doing similar things, using custom login forms, so I'm guessing it's achievable in php.
