Using OAuth with OData

Question

Search for new examples using OAuth with the OData prefix. from a WPF client without AppFabric or other dependencies

found this year + old article

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astoriateam/archive/2011/01/20/oauth-2-0-and-odata-protecting-an-odata-service-using-oauth-2-0.aspx

for which AppFabric is required

the other from DevEx is also year + old, but the sample does not compile http://community.devexpress.com/blogs/theonewith/archive/2011/02/24/odata-and-oauth-part-1-introduction.aspx

all other search results apply to these two sites

I wonder if there have been any new developments over the past year to rely on

Answer 1

ASP.NET 4.5 WebAPI will support both oData and oAuth out of the box. If you are starting a new project, I would recommend exploring it.

Most likely, the latest information that the beta version of ASP.NET WebAPI is already supported, and oAuth will ship with RTM.

Based on past experience with ASP.NET versions, having RTM is not too long.

You can read about ASP.NET WebAPI (also see comments): http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2012/02/23/asp-net-web-api-part-1.aspx
