dai developer oAuth as a client
Hello,
I´ve to make a little funcionality where oAuth is used and after googling it I don´t know if I have an enormous problem or not problem at all.
Every information I find is related to authentication from the salesforce side but what I have to do is authenticate an external callout with an external oAuth endpoint.
It can be resumed this way:
External someone call myHttpPOST apex class method(which NOT includes oAuth flow)
This external wants me to authenticate his request so gives me an oAuth Url which I´ll have to request(POST ay ay), depending of the response, I´ll generate an adecuate response to the original request to my POST apex rest.
Then, I´ll have a POST apex method which receive a request and inside of my method I´ll have to make a POST request to an external URL because cannot have two apex post methods in the same class.
As I said, I´m not sure if I understood a word or I´m finding problems where there are not.
Thanks, regards

That said, Oauth is a complicated and detail oriented protocol. I highly suggest reading through the oAuth documentation at: http://oauth.net/
To help you get started, there is an "oauth playground" unmanaged package you can install from here: https://github.com/jesperfj/sfdc-oauth-playground
While that app is setup to help you make oAuth calls, the code is an excellent starting point for creating your own oAuth library focused for your needs.
