How widely accepted is OAuth? -
how supported oauth vs. other authentication standards?
this may community wiki, i'm gonna ask anyway.
i need invest in related server authentication , there seem few ones out there.
oauth used authorization mechanism whereas openid widespread authentication protocol.
let me explain example:
authentication
:openid used substitute managing user accounts...people hate creating new accounts , remembering passwords it...so u can use openid such situations...
authorization
:if want give access third party application lets website twitterwithsoccerui.com....which tweets you...except has soccerposter ui....in case u need authorize twitterwithsoccerui.com tweet on behalf...
here's list...
- google -> oauth(for authorization) + openid(for authentication)
- facebook -> oauth 2.0
- twitter -> oauth 1.0a
- yahoo -> openid
- stackexchange -> openid
feel free add more..
