configuration of oauth for signed request
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: GTNPORTAL-1052
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/GTNPORTAL-1052
             Project: GateIn Portal
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0-GA
            Reporter: jerem j


In gadget, you can do request to an oAuth endpoint.
In some case, the distant server want to make sure who is the server (or developer) doing the request. To do so, they provide a oauth consumer key and a oauth consumer secret. You need to associate this with your gadget. So everytime your gadget is going to do request to their server, it will use this keys.

For example, google is using such a mechanism to protect their analytics APIs. You need to register a domain on https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageDomains and google will give you the OAuth Consumer Key and OAuth Consumer Secret.

The problem is that to configure this now, you need to modify the file oauth.json that is located in jar.
It's something similar to what has been done for http://jira.exoplatform.org/browse/SOC-650 but the properties are different:
* Gadget URL
* oAuth endpoint name (used in the gadget to reference this endpoint)
* consumer_key
* consumer_secret
* key_type

Also a UI to configure this would be awesome.
