OAuth for AtomPub

AtomPub authentication options now:
OAuth
WSSE
Basic

...

As part of the SocialSite project, an OAuth provider implementation was added to Roller. This OAuth provider is used to authenticate Roller's AtomPub web services interface. In Roller, there are now three options for AtomPub authentication:

  • oauth - OAuth 1.0 authentication
  • basic - HTTP Basic Authentication
  • wsse (hasn't been tested recently)

If you specificy OAuth then you will find a new page in the Roller Main Menu area that shows you the three OAuth URLs and your consumer keys/secrets.

Improvements in code base

In addition to the new features above the Roller code base has been completely reorganized.
