Symfony2 Examples ?

[cpjolly]

Hi there,

I see the mention of Symfony2 in the Cookbook/Examples issue, and I just wondered if there are any examples out there of using this library with Symfony2. I've built a couple of Symfony2 applications that use the following server-side and client side bundles as a starting point for OAuth2 for authorization and data access, but am not that happy with the results, so was considering using this library for our future Symfony2 work.

Thanks

Good question! I have implemented a bridge library for HttpFoundation here: 

​Https://GitHub.com/bshaffer/oauth2-httpfoundation-bridge

​This details a Silex integration, so Symfony2 would be similar. I would love to write a bundle for this, and will definitely try to do so now that I know there is a need for it. The FOS bundle seemed popular enough that it wasn't worth my time.

Thanks for the info. One of the problems with FOSOAuthServerBundle is that it relies on

https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/oauth2-php

Which is based on the old pre-standard Google oauth2 php library. The oauth2-php bundle has not been updated in line with the later revisions of the standard.

It all works fine for simple use-cases, but IMHO it's not a solid platform for going forward. I've done quite a bit of work extending it for my requirements. Perhaps I'm alone in using OAuth2 for a wide variety of authorization scenarios, but I'd much prefer to develop against a well supported library like yours.

Thanks again - Chris Jolly

Hi again Brent - I thought you might be interested in this blog post from Fabien Potencier, which talks about some simplifications being made in the security component of Symfony 2.4 to allow easier extension.
