RFC 5849: The OAuth 1.0 Protocol

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 6749.

Current version: RFC 6749 — The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

OAuth provides a method for clients to access server resources on behalf of a resource owner (such as a different client or an end-user). It also provides a process for end-users to authorize third-party access to their server resources without sharing their credentials (typically, a username and password pair), using user-agent redirections. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
