# BlackWall Auth SDK (PHP)
A distributable PHP SDK for integrating applications with BlackWall OAuth 2.1 and OpenID Connect.
This package provides:
- OAuth authorisation URL generation with PKCE (`S256`)
- Code-for-token exchange
- Refresh token exchange
- UserInfo retrieval
- UserInfo normalisation (`email`, `privilege_level`, `role`)
- Unified callback handling helper (`handleCallback`)
- Session helpers for `state` and `code_verifier`
- Typed API (`AuthClient`, `TokenSet`) and specific exception classes
## Requirements
- PHP 8.1+
- cURL extension (`ext-curl`)
## Installation
### 1. Install as a Composer package
If this repository is published and tagged:
```bash
composer require andydixon/blackwall-auth-sdk
```
### 2. Install from local path (during development)
In the consuming application's `composer.json`:
```json
{
"repositories": [
{
"type": "path",
"url": "../test.dixon.cx"
}
],
"require": {
"dixon/blackwall-auth-sdk": "*"
}
}
```
Then run:
```bash
composer update andydixon/blackwall-auth-sdk
```
## Quick start
```php
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
session_start();
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use BlackWall\Auth\AuthClient;
use BlackWall\Auth\Config;
$config = Config::fromArray([
'clientId' => 'your-client-id',
'authorizeUrl' => 'https://blackwall.cx/oauth/authorize',
'tokenUrl' => 'https://blackwall.cx/oauth/token',
'userInfoUrl' => 'https://blackwall.cx/oauth/userinfo',
'redirectUri' => 'https://your-app.example/callback.php',
'scope' => 'openid profile email offline_access',
]);
$client = new AuthClient($config);
// Step 1: redirect user to provider
$auth = $client->buildAuthorisationUrl([
'extra' => [
// Some providers require nonce for OIDC requests.
'nonce' => rtrim(strtr(base64_encode(random_bytes(32)), '+/', '-_'), '='),
],
]);
header('Location: ' . $auth['url']);
exit;
```
For callback handling, see `docs/INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md`.
Minimal callback example:
```php
$result = $client->handleCallback($_GET);
$_SESSION['user'] = [
'email' => $result->user->email,
'privilege_level' => $result->user->privilegeLevel,
'role' => $result->user->role,
];
$_SESSION['access_token'] = $result->tokens->accessToken;
```
## Backwards compatibility
A wrapper class is retained for older integrations:
```php
use BlackWallSDK\BlackWallAuth;
```
This wrapper now delegates to `BlackWall\Auth\AuthClient`.
## Public API
- `BlackWall\Auth\Config`
- `BlackWall\Auth\AuthClient`
- `BlackWall\Auth\TokenSet`
- `BlackWall\Auth\AuthResult`
- `BlackWall\Auth\CallbackResult`
- `BlackWall\Auth\UserInfo`
- `BlackWall\Auth\UserInfoNormalizer`
- `BlackWall\Auth\Http\HttpClientInterface`
- `BlackWall\Auth\Http\CurlHttpClient`
- `BlackWall\Auth\Exception\*`
## Security notes
- Always validate OAuth `state` in callback handlers.
- Handle provider callback errors (`error`, `error_description`) explicitly; treat `access_denied` as an expected user/authorisation outcome rather than a transport failure.
- Expect `access_denied` even after the consent page is displayed if provider-side project membership or tenant scope changes before consent submission.
- Register only HTTPS redirect URIs in provider client settings (HTTP should be used only for localhost loopback during development).
- Use OAuth/portal authentication endpoints for end users; provider admin login endpoints enforce separate admin scope checks.
- Never place client secrets, refresh tokens, or access tokens in URL query strings.
- For OIDC providers, include a per-request `nonce` in authorisation requests.
- Always use HTTPS in production.
- Store refresh tokens securely.
- Keep access tokens out of logs and browser-visible output.
- Use short session lifetimes where possible.
- `Config::fromArray()` enforces HTTPS URLs by default.
- For localhost-only development over HTTP, set `allowInsecureHttp => true`.
