+1 would be nice to get this in https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AGJS-252

On short term, it would be possible to use their existing adapters for
FB/Google and protect the node.js backend with these adapters, right ?


Sounds like the AGJS-252 is the ultimate solution we want, but I think for
a quick test/verification (or even example) of our Android/iOS OAuth2
clients, using the FB/Google adapters from passprt.js would be a good first
start ?
