Alexey, Currently planning on Oauth 2. I'll also implement Oauth 1.0a in all likelihood. The authenication is handled in an auxprop plugin and right now I only have a stub for that, it accepts a base64 encoded JSON token and anything that parses is accepted. It still has a lot of rough edges. -bill > -----Original Message----- > From: Alexey Melnikov [mailto:alexey.melnikov@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Friday, July 16, 2010 4:08 PM > To: William Mills > Cc: cyrus-sasl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: OAuth mechanism. > > William Mills wrote: > > > Hi, > > Hi William, > > > I'm writing a SASL mechanism for OAuth as a reference > impelementation. > > Is that somethign that would get submitted back into the > core of Cyrus > > SASL or shoudl it live as a separate entity.
