OAuth2 Handler
==============
|image0|
Presentation
------------
This Handler is able to check an OAuth2 access token to retrieve the
user real session and protect a virtual host like a standard Handler
(access control and HTTP headers transmission).
This requires to get an OAuth2 access token trough LL::NG Portal (OpenID
Connect server). This access token can then be used in the
``Authorization`` header to authenticate to the Web Service / API
protected by the OAuth2 Handler.

.. tip::
In the above schema, the OpenID Connect process is simplified.
How the front application receives the Access Token depends on the
requested flow (Authorization code, Implicit or Hybrid). In all cases,
the application will have an Access Token and will be able to use it to
request a Web Service.
Example:
::
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer de853461341e88e9def8fcb9db2a81c4" https://oauth2.example.com/api/test | json_pp
.. code-block:: javascript
{
check: true,
user: "dwho"
}
Configuration
-------------
Protect you virtual host like any other virtual host with the standard
Handler.
Define access rules and headers. Then in ``Options`` > ``Type``, choose
``OAuth2``.
