OAuth API Examples

treyormsbee · September 27, 2018, 2:24pm

Are there any working examples of using foreman oauth with consumer key/secret? Ive seen a few good articles regarding oauth using these functions but no way to tie those to foreman. What would the call back url be for that?

Im looking for either a perl or ruby example. But any language will do as long as I can get an example of authenticating in foreman with the consumer key/secret.

Thanks,
Trey

One example is the base class we use for our puppet providers. It uses the oauth gem to do the heavy lifting.

github.com

theforeman/puppet-foreman/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/foreman_resource/rest_v3.rb

# Base provider for other Puppet types managing Foreman resources
#
# This provider uses Net::HTTP from Ruby stdlib, JSON (stdlib on 1.9+ or the
# gem on 1.8) and the oauth gem for auth, so requiring minimal dependencies.

require 'uri'

Puppet::Type.type(:foreman_resource).provide(:rest_v3) do
  # when previous providers are installed, use this one
  def self.specificity
    super + 2
  end

  def oauth_consumer_key
    @oauth_consumer_key ||= begin
      if resource[:consumer_key]
        resource[:consumer_key]
      else
        begin
          YAML.load_file('/etc/foreman/settings.yaml')[:oauth_consumer_key]

Thank you, I was able to work out all the details from that.
