No problem, we probably don't have time to get anything done for the much overdue Seam 3.0 final release which is scheduled for next month.  However, it would be great if we could plan to add this to the external module for 3.1 - we should hopefully have plenty of time between now and then to get it written, and I'm happy to contribute to it where I can.

The external authentication module now only supports SAML and OpenID, not OAuth. 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 (http://openidconnect.com/), 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.

Indeed, I did work on authentication against Facebook based on OAuth 2.0, but that was for the PicketLink/Seam module (Seam 2 based).

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.

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.  This would be an extremely cool feature to have though.

Welcome Marek. We are fortunate to have a strong QE team and I hope it
presents you with a lot of good challenges.

Sounds like you might have interest in the Seam Social module as well.
Indeed, I will certainly look into it and into the Seam Security
External module and see if there is anything I can do to help make Seam
"The platform for social applications" :-)

Cheers!
