Why use OAuth when OpenID does everything that OAuth can do as an authentication method and does a few things much better? Specifically OAuth lacks any defined way to: -feed back any additional information like the real user ID (as opposed to what the entered) -bound an authentication event in

I am not against using OAuth to build other protocols. I am only concerned that when people build those things they perform the appropriate security analyses, and not make inappropriate assumptions about the underlying protocol. You can certainly use OAuth to authenticate a principal to a clie

I think this is becoming a largely academic / philosophical argument by this time. The people who designed OAuth will likely point out that it was conceptualized as an authorization protocol to enable a RO to delegate access to a client to access its protected resources on some RS. And of cour

There are some specific design mis-matches for OAuth as an authentication protocol, it's not what it's designed for and there are some problems you will run into.  Some have used it as such, but it's not a good general solution. -bill From: Paul Madsen To: Jo

why pigeonhole it? OAuth can be deployed with no authz semantics at all (or at least as little as any authn mechanism), e.g client creds grant type with no scopes I agree that OAuth is not an *SSO* protocol. On 2/5/13 3:36 PM, John Bradley wrote: OAuth is an Authorization protocol as many of

The counter argument is that if you do something that's half way between two fairly well-established programming practices, then you can end up making a strange chimera. I agree that we shouldn't "boil the ocean", but dictating HTTP verb usage on the endpoint is far from that. The crux of my a
