OAuth2 Server
#############

Because OIDC is a layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol, this package gives you a simple but effective OAuth2 server that you can use not only for logging in your users on multiple platforms, also to protect some resources you want to expose.

Protecting Views
================

Here we are going to protect a view with a scope called ``testscope``::

    from django.http import JsonResponse
    from django.views.decorators.http import require_http_methods

    from oidc_provider.lib.utils.oauth2 import protected_resource_view


    @require_http_methods(['GET'])
    @protected_resource_view(['testscope'])
    def protected_api(request, *args, **kwargs):

        dic = {
            'protected': 'information',
        }

        return JsonResponse(dic, status=200)
