The IETF OAuth working group thanks OMA ARC SEC for the liaison
statement titled "OAuth discovery and specification availability",
dated 18 July 2011.

The OMA liaison statement asks the OAuth working group to address five
issues, and our answers are as follows:

•   Availability of the IETF OAuth specifications: especially
[draft-ietf-oauth-v2] and [draft-ietf-oauth-v2-bearer], and also
[draft-hammer-oauth-v2-mac-token],
[draft-lodderstedt-oauth-revocation] and [draft-recordon-oauth-v2-ux].

Answer:
The IETF cannot guarantee publication dates, but we can give some
best-guess timeframes.  At this writing, draft-ietf-oauth-v2 and
draft-ietf-oauth-v2-bearer have completed Working Group last call and
are undergoing their final revisions before being sent to the IESG.
We expect the final versions of those documents to be in the RFC
Editor queue around the end of September, though it could be later if
issues come up in IETF-wide last call or during IESG evaluation.  The
draft-hammer-oauth-v2-mac-token document has been replaced by
draft-ietf-oauth-v2-http-mac, which is a working group document.  It
is likely to be in the RFC Editor queue by the end of the year.

The remaining two documents are not working group documents, and the
working group can say nothing about their status.  The OAuth working
group intends to revise its charter in the November timeframe, and
it's possible that one or both of those documents could be adopted by
the working group at that time, and we could have further information
about target publication dates then.

•   Availability of the OAuth Parameters Registry

Answer:
The draft-ietf-oauth-v2 document establishes the OAuth Parameters
Registry (in section 11.2, as of draft version 20).  The registry will
be available when the RFC is published, which will be some time after
the document goes into the RFC Editor queue, depending upon the RFC
Editor's load at the time.

•   IETF intent to specify an OAuth Discovery mechanism

Answer:
There is interest among OAuth working group participants for
specifying such a mechanism, but the work is not in the current
charter.  It will likely be considered during the aforementioned
charter update in (approximately) November.

•   Considerations that can help implementors decide about the type of
OAuth access token to deploy.

Answer:
There is no current work planned, but documents with such
implementation advice might also be considered during the rechartering
discussion.

•   For bearer tokens: clarification whether the non-support of percent
encoding for scope-v element of WWW-Authenticate Response Header Field
grammar is intentional.

Answer:
In the bearer token document (Section 2.4 of
draft-ietf-oauth-v2-bearer-08, "The WWW-Authenticate Response Header
Field"), the "scope-v" element is unambiguously defined to allow a
specific set of characters.  That set of characters does permit, but
does not mandate, support for percent-encoding of characters.

This is a poor answer.
A client app receiving a scope value in an "WWW-Authenticate: Bearer scope=..." 
response will either compare it with strings from a OAuth2 JSON-encoded token 
response, or copy it into a request to an authorization server. It needs to 
know if it needs to %-decode the value or not before doing these things. 
Clients cannot be expected to behave differently for different servers in this 
respect.

OAuth2 core (implicitly) allows a scope to use any Unicode char except space 
(as space is used as a delimiter).
Bearer restricts scopes to 93 ASCII chars.
OMA are asking if this is intentional.

If we really want to restrict scope values it would be better done in OAuth2 
core.
If we don't want to restrict values then the bearer spec needs to be able to 
handle any possible scope value by defining an escaping mechanism for scope-v 
(or by not having a scope parameter).

Barry,

I personally think that this is both a very thorough and very timely 
follow-up.


(You may consider a minor editorial: "As this writing" in the first 
answer, should be "As of this writing."  Could not catch anything else.  
The only other suggestion is that maybe the response could omit RFC 
Queue and other details of the IETF process as those are unfamiliar to 
OMA. They asked for dates, and the dates are there.)

[OAUTH-WG] OMA Liaison Has Arrived! [ was Re: Deutsche Telekom launched OAuth 2.0 support]

2011-07-20 Thread Igor Faynberg

Friends,

I have intentionally used this thread, on which 1001 messages ago I 
mentioned the OMA and ITU-T work. Since then I got several private 
queries, and I am happy to say that the liaison from OMA has arrived 
(although it has a little glitch, which made me write this otherwise 
redundant message): https://datatracker.ietf.org/liaison/1069/.  The 
glitch is that the liaison description mistakenly says that 1) the 
liaison is sent for information and 2) that there is no deadline in 
response. Section 3 of the document, however, specifies an action for 
the IETF, and it also gives the deadline of the end of August.  This is 
why I wanted to get the immediate attention. (Another little glitch is 
that it was supposed to be copied to the OAuth WG, according to the CC 
list, but this did not happen.)


I must say up fornt  that I do NOT represent OMA and have no authority 
whatsoever to speak for it.  The reason I am involved in this is because 
I have been an ardent supporter of OAuth both in my company and in the 
telecom industry and it has been my vision that  the telecom adapt OAuth 
and combine it with the mobile authentication methods--well I had spoken 
a lot about that on this list and indicated just this interest in the 
early profile query. This should make it clear why I am so enthusiastic 
about OAuth being accepted, and I would like to make sure that we help 
transition this great product of the OAuth WG. OMA is the center for 
standardizing mobile applications infrastructure, and its standards are 
widely used in telecommunictiations industry.


Now,  OMA has appointed an official Liaison Officer whose role is to 
speak for OMA officially. In addition, the response--if produced in 
written form--should by sent to Zhiyuan Hu, who chairs the OMA security 
group.  Handling the liaisons is the IAB job, and the decision on how to 
process this specific one belongs to OAuth chairmen inasmuch as it has 
been directed to OAuth. Having dealt with this procedure before, I 
understand that the communication can emanate directly from them or   
IAB can appoint a liaison to OMA, who will convey future 
communications.  But this is a procedural matter, and I am sure it will 
be well sorted out. (In fact, I remember Barry dealing with the OMA 
liaison in his other group quite expertly.)


The technical lead for this work in OMA is my colleague Jerome Marcon 
(copied here).  Jerome knows OAuth as only developers do -- he has 
implemented it! Jerome has volunteered to answer all questions, and he 
is both the right and the best person for that.


I would like to point out the action of the liaison, which I reproduce 
here verbatim:


"IETF OAuthWG is kindly invited to provide feedback on the points 
highlighted in this letter:


·Availability of the IETF OAuth specifications: especially 
[draft-ietf-oauth-v2] and [draft-ietf-oauth-v2-bearer], and also 
[draft-hammer-oauth-v2-mac-token], [draft-lodderstedt-oauth-revocation] 
and [draft-recordon-oauth-v2-ux].


·Availability of the OAuth Parameters Registry

·IETF intent to specify an OAuth Discovery mechanism

·Considerations that can help implementors decide about the type of 
OAuth access token to deploy.


·For bearer tokens: clarification whether the non-support of percent 
encoding for scope-velement of WWW-Authenticate Response Header Field 
grammar is intentional."


As these are purely technical questions, some of them relating to our 
plans, I just thought it might be a good to present them to the list 
ASAP so that the answers come early.


At this point, I am done with what I thought my job was here. Jerome 
will pick this conversation from now on.

Torsten,

With many thanks for the note, I think it would be great if you 
documented the implementation report in an Informational RFC.  In 
particular, the SIM-based authentication part is of particular 
interest here--we had this discussion on this list recently-- as it 
naturally extends the use of the Internet protocols in the telecom 
environment.


I also think that such an implementation report would influence 
positively  the OAuth profiling work that is taking  place in ITU-T, 
OMA and other places.

Hi all,

I would like to announce that we recently launched OAuth 2.0 support 
in our Security Token Service. It will be used in upcoming consumer 
products (e.g. Smartphone apps).


The current implementation supports draft 10 (but is also inline with 
the latest text on native apps). It has the following additional 
features:
- Issuance of multiple tokens for different services in single 
authorization process (Bulk User Authorization)
- Token revocation 
(http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-lodderstedt-oauth-revocation/)

- custom grant types for token exchange and SIM card authentication
- Token replacement
- Parameter to explicitely request refresh token for "Resource Owner
