If it is an adapter of the Authentication plugin( not sure what we are calling the different pieces. pipeline, data manager, etc.), then we should expect to see authentication methods( enroll, login, logout ), but i think this "adapter" should be much more than that. > > If implementing those methods is possible, I would like to see this as an Auth adapter but then with the other useful functionality on top. If not possible, then do you have a proposal of what an OAuth2 plugin would look like? Just using Google As an example, i'm not sure if there would be an "enroll" method, since that would be google's flow. but we could do login/logout. I don't think enroll would really work anywhere since you would need to do the token "dance" first. I see OAuth stuff more of an authorization api than an authentication api let me gist a workflow for a standalone thing.
