Opauth

This project is still under heavy development. DO NOT USE.
Initial stable release is scheduled for late May 2012.

Opauth is a multi-provider authentication framework for PHP, inspired by OmniAuth for Ruby.

What is Opauth?

Opauth provides a standardized method for PHP applications to interface with 3rd-party authentication providers.

Opauth as a framework provides a set of API that allows developers to create strategies that work in a predictable manner across PHP frameworks and applications.

Opauth is designed works well with other PHP applications & frameworks.
It is currently supported on vanilla (plain) PHP applications (of course), CakePHP, Yii Framework and more to come.
If your PHP framework of choice is not yet listed, you can still use Opauth like you would a normal PHP component (class).

Quick start

1. Set DocumentRoot of your web server to example/.
   (Opauth can be instantiated in your own PHP app, but we will leave that out of this quick start guide)

2. Configure Opauth
   cp example/opauth.conf.php.default example/opauth.conf.php
   and make the necessary changes.

3. Install some Opauth strategies.
   We recommend that you start with Opauth-Facebook

4. Send user to http://path_to_opauth/facebook to authenticate.

Check out the wiki for more technical details.
