An OAuth 2.0 authorization server for PHP, implementing draft 20 of the specification, with the OpenID Connect hooks needed to issue id_token claims.

The library is framework-agnostic: it only depends on HttpFoundation for request/response handling and on PSR-14 for its event hook. You provide the storage.

Requirements

PHP 8.2 or later.

Installation

composer require klapaudius/oauth2-php

Using Symfony? klapaudius/oauth-server-bundle wires this library into a Symfony application, with Doctrine ORM/ODM storage, controllers and a security authenticator already provided.

Usage

Implement the storage interface(s) matching the grant types you want to support, then let OAuth2 handle the endpoints:

use OAuth2\OAuth2;

$oauth = new OAuth2($myStorage);

// Token endpoint — returns a HttpFoundation Response, either the token or the OAuth2 error
try {
    $response = $oauth->grantAccessToken($request);
} catch (\OAuth2\OAuth2ServerException $e) {
    $response = $e->getHttpResponse();
}

// Authorize endpoint, once the end-user has approved (or denied) the request
$response = $oauth->finishClientAuthorization($isApproved, $user, $request);

// Resource endpoint
$token = $oauth->verifyAccessToken($oauth->getBearerToken($request), 'my_scope');

Every failure is an OAuth2ServerException (or one of its subclasses, OAuth2AuthenticateException and OAuth2RedirectException), and getHttpResponse() turns any of them into the response the specification prescribes — right status code, JSON error body, or redirect back to the client.

Storage interfaces

IOAuth2Storage is mandatory; each grant type adds one interface to implement:

Interface Enables
IOAuth2Storage client lookup and access tokens (required)
IOAuth2GrantCode authorization_code
IOAuth2GrantUser password
IOAuth2GrantClient client_credentials
IOAuth2GrantImplicit implicit flow (response_type=token)
IOAuth2RefreshTokens refresh_token, including token rotation
IOAuth2GrantExtension extension grants (urn: or absolute URI)

You only implement what you actually serve: the token endpoint rejects a grant whose interface is missing with unsupported_grant_type, and the authorize endpoint answers unsupported_response_type.

OpenID Connect

The library issues OAuth2 tokens; it does not build id_token JWTs for you. Instead it publishes an event on every successful grant, carrying everything an OIDC layer needs — including the nonce and the authentication time bound to the authorization code:

use OAuth2\OAuth2;
use OAuth2\OAuthTokenGrantedEvent;

$oauth = new OAuth2($myStorage, [], $eventDispatcher);
public function onTokenGranted(OAuthTokenGrantedEvent $event): void
{
    $token = $event->getToken();
    $token['id_token'] = $this->buildIdToken(
        $event->getUser(),
        $event->getClient(),
        $event->getNonce(),      // the "nonce" sent to the authorize endpoint, replayed here
        $event->getAuthTime()    // when the end-user actually authenticated
    );
    $event->setToken($token);
}

Whatever you set with setToken() is what the client receives. Subscribe on OAuthTokenGrantedEvent::NAME.

Two notes on these two values:

  • nonce is read from the authorization request, stored on the authorization code by your storage, and handed back on the token request. It is null for grant types that involve no authorization code.
  • auth_time is never read from the request — only your application knows when its user authenticated. Stamp it on the authorization code when you create it; left unset, it arrives as null and you simply omit the claim.

Upgrading

Version 3.0 removes the legacy client-side implementation and detaches clients from the Symfony security layer. See CHANGELOG.txt for the BC breaks.

Contributing

composer install
vendor/bin/phpunit          # test suite
vendor/bin/phpstan analyse  # static analysis, level 8

Both run in CI on PHP 8.2 through 8.5. Patches are expected to keep PHPStan clean at level 8 and to come with tests.

History

This library is a fork of https://github.com/quizlet/oauth2-php, itself a fork of http://code.google.com/p/oauth2-php/ (the original, long abandoned). Compared to the quizlet version it is namespaced, PSR-4 autoloaded, free of require(_once), built on HttpFoundation, and considerably better covered by tests.
