To ensure our OAuth2 client SDKs do work against node.js (w/ passport.js), how about we build a Node.js based version of our "Shoot-n-Share backend" ([1]), that is protected by Passport.js? > > So to clear up some confusion that might be happening with what passport is, it is not an OAuth2 server thing. > > it’s really just middleware(think of it as a servlet filter for you java weenies) for express.js, and by using adapters(like a FB or google), it can secure RESTful endpoints in that express.js app. So basically you can use passport to secure your endpoint using openId connect (on top of oauth2). you login as google user and your secure your endpoint with google access token. with passport.js you can go the authz code grant way because you store token on server side. Refresh and access token are never stored in browser app. Right?

On native app we’re doing what passport.js is doing but directly on device… not sure there is anything interesting to demo on native app, it’s more a web or cordova thing. I would say either use key cloak/passport Js for web pure app and corodva app or use corodva native oauth2 plugin.

You could couple it with KC or another interesting integration is OAuth2rize + passport which provides an Oauth2 server. see [1], [2] [1] http://scottksmith.com/blog/2014/07/02/beer-locker-building-a-restful-api... <http://scottksmith.com/blog/2014/07/02/beer-locker-building-a-restful-api...
