Simple OAuth Auth Code

Obsolete

Use of this module is discouraged due to security concerns.
Please use the Authorization Code Flow to handle getting an auth code to exchange for an access token.

This module provides a REST resource to request an OAuth authorization code if the request is verified.

Motivation

In decoupled scenarios we sometimes need a way to log the user in without the user entering the login credentials (e.g. a password reset).

To accomplish this, we need to get an access token from the Simple OAuth module.

This is done by first checking if the request is verified (e.g. the user has entered the correct verification code, or clicked a verification link). If verification is successful, an authorization code is issued for the user, which can then be exchanged for an access token.

Verification is done via the Verification API module.
