Keep in mind that the external authentication module is about authentication, whereas OAuth is mainly about delegated access, so it would extend the current scope of the module. Also interesting is OpenID Connect (<a href="http://openidconnect.com/">http://openidconnect.com/</a>), which is one of the potential successors of OpenID, based on OAuth 2.0. As far as I know, that standard is still under construction.</div><div><br></div><div>Indeed, I did work on authentication against Facebook based on OAuth 2.0, but that was for the PicketLink/Seam module (Seam 2 based).</div><div><br></div><div>My time for contributing to PicketLink and Seam 3 is currently very limited, and it will probably stay very limited in the near future. I'm currently more in a reactive than an active mode, so it's good to hear that there are other people who are interested in external authentication.</div><br><div><div>On Feb 21, 2011, at 11:00 AM, Shane Bryzak wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>I know that Marcel was working on authentication against Facebook (with OAuth?), although I'm not sure if the capabilities are supported by the external module yet.
