Integration Guide (British English)

This guide shows a complete OAuth/OIDC login flow using BlackWall\Auth\AuthClient.

1. Start login

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

session_start();
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use BlackWall\Auth\AuthClient;
use BlackWall\Auth\Config;

$client = new AuthClient(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',
]));

if (!isset($_SESSION['user'])) {
    $auth = $client->buildAuthorisationUrl();
    header('Location: ' . $auth['url']);
    exit;
}

echo 'Already signed in.';

2. Handle callback

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

session_start();
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use BlackWall\Auth\AuthClient;
use BlackWall\Auth\Config;

$client = new AuthClient(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',
]));

$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;
$_SESSION['refresh_token'] = $result->tokens->refreshToken;

header('Location: /');
exit;

3. Single callback for multiple app roles

Using one OAuth client and one callback URL is recommended.

Map users in your application by:

  1. email claim to local account record
  2. privilege_level (or role) to application role

Typical mapping example:

  • privilege_level = 1 => admin/superadmin
  • privilege_level = 2 => user/tutor

If privilege_level is absent, the SDK also resolves common role strings (admin, superadmin, user, tutor).

4. Refresh token (optional)

<?php

$tokens = $client->refreshAccessToken($_SESSION['refresh_token']);
$_SESSION['access_token'] = $tokens->accessToken;
if ($tokens->refreshToken !== null) {
    $_SESSION['refresh_token'] = $tokens->refreshToken;
}

Exceptions

Catch specific exceptions for clearer handling:

  • BlackWall\Auth\Exception\StateMismatchException
  • BlackWall\Auth\Exception\TokenExchangeException
  • BlackWall\Auth\Exception\UserInfoException
  • BlackWall\Auth\Exception\TransportException

Example:

try {
    $tokens = $client->exchangeCodeForTokens($code);
} catch (\BlackWall\Auth\Exception\TokenExchangeException $e) {
    error_log('Token exchange failed: ' . $e->getMessage());
    error_log('Auth code: ' . ($e->authCode() ?? 'none'));
    http_response_code(502);
}

Operational guidance

  • Keep provider URLs in environment variables, not hard-coded.
  • Avoid printing tokens in production pages.
  • Rotate client secrets for confidential clients.
  • Validate state on every callback request.
  • Use secure session cookies (Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax or stricter).
