Comment on OAuth 2.0 and the Road to Hell

Comments

I witnessed one guy implement an OAuth 2.0 provider completely wrong (he was accepting user credentials as client credentials, or something similar.) This guy was smart, and just couldn't understand the spec.

Upon reading the spec, it seemed that OAuth2 is really just some rough guidelines. Pick and choose what you need for the particular flow you're implementing.
