PL/SQL OpenID+OAuth Implementation - 400 - Bad Request - plsql

I am trying to implement (OpenId+OAuth) hybrid protocol using PL/SQL.
I have setup OpenID Authentication successfully with google for my site http://example.com where the user is directed to google accounts for authentication. After successful authentication, the user is redirected back to example.com with OAuthRequestToken attached.
I am then trying to exchange this token with OAuthAccessToken to access various google sevices.
The OAutheRequestToken that I get after hybrid(OpenID+OAuth) authentication is as follows:
oauth_token = 4/AR17dDMb4xHG3L4WFYLIzkhCj0c7
The oauth_base_string I get is as follows:
oauth_base_string = GET&https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Faccounts%2FOAuthGetAccessToken&oauth_consumer_key%3Dexample.com%26oauth_nonce%3D56575A5754587057576E6C77576B78695757354F%26oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26oauth_timestamp%3D1308046070%26oauth_version%3D1.0%26oauth_token%3D4%2FAR17dDMb4xHG3L4WFYLIzkhCj0c7
I then place a request to exchange this oauth_token(OAuthRequestToken) with OAuthAccessToken in the query string itself as :
https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetAccessToken?oauth_consumer_key=example.com&oauth_token=4/AR17dDMb4xHG3L4WFYLIzkhCj0c7&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_signature=RpqSLGp5nIGvL8W4vmC8inUfBFQ%3D&oauth_timestamp=1308046070&oauth_nonce=56575A5754587057576E6C77576B78695757354F&oauth_version=1.0
This results in 400 - Bad Request.
I have tried searching for something similar but still no luck.
This Post from Stack Overflow deals with a similar issue. It says
...% escaping can be an issue
which is a bit confusing.
Do we have to urlencode oauth_signature param twice in the request?
I am using the following code to generate oauth_signature:
oauth_sig_mac := DBMS_CRYPTO.mac (UTL_I18N.string_to_raw
(oauth_base_string,
'AL32UTF8'),DBMS_CRYPTO.hmac_sh1,
UTL_I18N.string_to_raw (oauth_key,
'AL32UTF8'));
oauth_signature := UTL_RAW.cast_to_varchar2(UTL_ENCODE.base64_encode
(oauth_sig_mac));
Here:
oauth_key := urlencode('oauth-consumer-secret-key') || '&';
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I recommend using https://runscope.com to test your api. Its great.
I make my calls to the Zero api using oauth 1.0, so I'm not sure if its just the endpoint that's different but a couple things you could check are:
Encoding the oauth token you recieve from the previous request so that, that '/' is ASCII encoded.
And, test your api through runscope to check your timestamp if its to old or to new this will throw a bad request.
P.s a bad request is a better error than the 401 anauthorised so your almost there

"The provided value for the input parameter 'redirect_uri' is not valid" Using firebase

Firebase tells me to do this:
So I did
But I'm still getting this error "The provided value for the input parameter 'redirect_uri' is not valid"
I feel like I've followed instructions exactly but it's still not working. I have no idea how to debug this further. Any suggestions?
Here is my frontend code where I call signIn
let provider = new firebase.auth.OAuthProvider("microsoft.com");
provider.addScope("Calendars.Read");
firebase.auth().signInWithPopup(provider).then(handleResponse);
Edit
I changed the url to my custom domain and it seemed to be working but now I'm getting Error getting verification code from microsoft.com response: proof key for code exchange is required for cross-origin
For some reason Firebase decided to change the url where it handled auth. Instead of using the .firebaseapp.com/__/auth/handler url, it is using my actual custom domain. Though I don't really understand why this would happen...?
The Error getting verification code from microsoft.com response: proof key for code exchange is required for cross-origin was happening because I had configured an SPA on Azure instead of a Web platform.

Shopee Open Platform API always response "Invalid token"

I'm sorry in advance if something bring you here and I talk about a platform that's not really well-known over the world despite featuring a well-known person dancing in their commercial.
It's Shopee Open Platform API I talk about. I was trying to follow very properly their instruction here.
https://open.shopee.com/documents?module=63&type=2&id=51
But stuck instantly at step 5 : Shop Authorization. First, I've been given a test partner id, a test key, and I need to set manually the test redirect URL. I have to generate authorization token from all given information. Firstly I need to create a token base string by concatenating the test key with URI component encoded string of the URL. It turns into something like this.
9b754aca01a5d719cb70c5778294dae6ff90fcc68c82908ee480a36ff901d181https%3A%2F%2Fwww.unwelldocumented.com
To generate the authorization token, it says I need to do hexencode(sha256(token_base_string)). It returned a very long integer.
32373935663639356636346266303137613465396239383361373334646133656530313333393762636138396364663037366566313366313436316534303761
So I just assumed everything is fine and that is the authorization token. But when I send this...
https://partner.uat.shopeemobile.com/api/v1/shop/auth_partner?id=(test_partner_id)&token=(authorization_token)&redirect=(test_redirect_URL)
... suddenly I get this
{
"error": "error_auth",
"msg": "Invalid token",
"request_id": "30a4b6b0074541bdd88260a33f155ca6"
}
In order to solve this, you have to understand that SHA256 is an Encryption hash function. Please research more on SHA256 on your specific language.
For this very specific case, your SHA256 token should be as below.
Before SHA256:
9b754aca01a5d719cb70c5778294dae6ff90fcc68c82908ee480a36ff901d181https%3A%2F%2Fwww.unwelldocumented.com
After SHA256:
2795f695f64bf017a4e9b983a734da3ee013397bca89cdf076ef13f1461e407a
The rest of your steps seems correct.

How to fix "invalid return_url" error when creating oauth token for Trello with httr?

I want to manage my Trello cards and boards using the trelloR package but when I try to create a token with the get_token function, I get an error message on my browser : "Invalid return_url".
my_token <- get_token(key = my_key, secret = my_secret)
my_key is my personal Trello API key and my_secret is my OAuth secret. I got them on the Trello page that gives you your authentication codes, after login : https://trello.com/app-key
To use the Trello API and to access to boards, I need a token. This token is generated with OAuth1.0 by the httr package. Indeed, the function get_token do something like this, according to Jakub Chromec, author and maintainer of trelloR here :
trello.app = httr::oauth_app(
appname = "trello-app",
key = my_key,
secret = my_secret)
trello.urls = httr::oauth_endpoint(
request = "OAuthGetRequestToken",
authorize ="OAuthAuthorizeToken?scope=read&expiration=30days&name=trello-app",
access = "OAuthGetAccessToken",
base_url = "https://trello.com/1")
httr::oauth1.0_token(
endpoint = trello.urls,
app = trello.app)
When I execute this code or the function get_token with my personal key and secret, I am redirected to my browser, which is normal. As described on this page, a screen should appear asking me to allow authentication. But instead I just have an error message in the browser : "Invalid return_url".
In the RStudio console, this remains displayed :
> my_token <- get_token(my_key, my_secret)
Waiting for authentication in browser...
Press Esc/Ctrl + C to abort
I'm using httr 1.4.1, curl 4.2 and trelloR 0.6.0 with R 3.6.1 under macOS 10.15.
Some people reported the problem started after the introduction of Allowed Origins and they were able to fix it by adding the following origin:
http://localhost:1410
on the appkey page. This is a bit surprising to me as the default * should cover all origins, but there you go.
Trying this today (11/23/2019), I could not get wildcards to work as Allowed Origins. You should specify the domain of where you are running the call for authorization.
One source of confusion: The comments under "Allowed Origins" on https://trello.com/app-key refer to sites that "your application is allowed to redirect back to following the authorization flow." That was a bit confusing to me. The list should include sites you want to redirect back to IN ADDITION TO the sites you are calling Trello.authorize() from.
If you are thinking "I don't need a redirect" (and, in fact, if you are using client.js, I don't think you can specify a redirect), then those comments under "Allowed Origins" could lead you to believe you don't need to specify anything there. That would be incorrect.
Summary: Even if you want NO post-authorization re-direct, you still have to list an ORIGIN.
Also, you cannot specify file:// in Allowed Origins, so you cannot run your javascript off a local file.

Gravity Forms API always 401

I am trying to use the gravity forms rest api, https://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/article/web-api/ but I receive a 401 error no matter what I try. I've tried using all the methods listed in the documentation and in Steven Henty's article, https://www.stevenhenty.com/gravity-forms-api/ but it doesn't seem to work.
If I am logged into a wordpress site as administrator should I not be able to use a link like:
http://mydomain/gravityformsapi/forms/
Thank you for any suggestions.
For mine case it was that I haven't clicked the update button "Web API" Tab.
Make sure you click update button , although it does show the API Key's but still you have to click update button to enable API.
I was getting the same thing due to some weirdness about the route endpoint. When calculating the signature you don't use a trailing slash on the route: forms/1.
But you do use a trailing slash in the URL (otherwise I got a 301 Moved Permanently):
http://demo.gravityforms.com/gravityformsapi/the_route/?api_key...
It looks odd to have /?api_key... but that is what works for me.
Here's the ruby example I was using with the demo credentials:
GravityFormsAPI.generate_URL(site: 'demo.gravityforms.com', route: 'forms/1', public_api_key: '5b225f8382', private_api_key: 'fc6d1bc71d2ebfc')
Hope this helps.
Sometimes i received intermittent 401 error after a lot of research i find this article
Azure DocumentDB Intermittent 401 error when querying REST API via Obj-c
If the signature contains + sign i received 401 error
Maybe that help other person
Sorry for my english writing
Based on the solution here I'm posting this answer.Imagine you have created the URL and it didn't work and you got 401. Then after a little time you realized the error that Opps! The parameters I was passing needed a bracket and you run the code again and you again got 401.
Why is that?
This is because the parameters which are apiKey, Signature and Expire time are the same and you only changed the other parameters with your GET request. However these three parameters are used to authenticate the user so that means the old signature which was generated to deny the permission will deny it again no matter what.
So to fix that I just changed the expire time from 1577922200 to 1577933200. I could've changed it to anything but the thing is I just need to give something new so that a new signature can be generated. So when I changed it started working.
OTHER POSSIBLE REASONWhile making the signature using SHA1 you use NSString *string_to_sign = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#:%#:%#:%#",api_key,http_method,route,expires];
as per the documentation. But in order to make CCHmac you have to pass it two things:
Key
Data
and based on the link it is created as
const char *cKey = [api_private_key cStringUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
const char *cData = [string_to_sign cStringUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
So what I was mistaking is that I was using API Key in cKey instead of API Private Key. So I change it as per tutorial said and it worked. Otherwise I was getting 401 not matter what I try.

Basic HTTP Authentication with python 3.2 (urllib.request)

This is my first post with this account, and Ive been struggling for the last week to get this to work, so I hope someone can help me get this working.
Im trying to pull some data from https://api.connect2field.com/ but its rejecting all of my authentication attempts from python (not from a browser though).
The code Im using
import urllib.request as url
import urllib.error as urlerror
urlp = 'https://api.connect2field.com/api/Login.aspx'
# Create an OpenerDirector with support for Basic HTTP Authentication...
auth_handler = url.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()
auth_handler.add_password(realm='Connect2Field API',
uri=urlp,
user='*****',
passwd='*****')
opener = url.build_opener(auth_handler)
# ...and install it globally so it can be used with urlopen.
url.install_opener(opener)
try:
f = url.urlopen(urlp)
print (f.read())
except urlerror.HTTPError as e:
if hasattr(e, 'code'):
if e.code != 401:
print ('We got another error')
print (e.code)
else:
print (e.headers)
Im pretty sure the code is doing everything right, which makes me think that maybe theres another authentication step that ASP.net requires. Does anybody have any experience with ASP.Net's authentication protocol?
Im gonna be checking this post throughout the day, so I can post more info if required.
Edit: Ive also tried running my script against a basic http auth server running at home, and it authenticates, so Im pretty sure the request is set up properly.
It appears that IIS is set up to do basic authentication, ASP.NET will be most probably be configured to use windows authentication.
As you have said that authentication works via browser, so the best bet for you is to use tool such as fiddler to capture request/response when connecting via browser and also when connecting via your code. Compare them to troubleshoot the issue.
For example, I remember a case where the web site first requested authentication credentials and then re-directed to different url which prompted for different credentials.
