O-Auth

References and links

O-Auth is a technology that lets you access our API in a secure way, without sending your credentials in cleartext over the wire.

The version we use is core 1.0a.

The above mentioned document is a real in-depth description of the protocols. An easier way to get to know OAuth is by reading and experimenting with the Beginner's Guide to OAuth - Signing Requests

Our implementation

Configurator-API

For our Configurator-API we use the so called two-legged scenario. We use OAuth only to authenticate the developer application. The developer is not authenticating on behalf of a user.
