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.

when we do social login, which will most likely have OAuth2, we can just access it.
