Is Oauth in the Shibboleth roadmap?

[Jean-Baptiste BOHUON]

Dear all, thanks for your answers!

@Alan, @Mike thanks for giving details. I do not speak in the name of my
institution, I am at the step of exploring a wish of some in my team,
which is what can be done to enable:

- a system admin to host a collaborative service (etherpad, ethercalc,
owncloud, etc à la framasoft.org)
- and manage users easily. For this, Oauth was my first best option.

I will explore OpenID and get back to you if I can figure out how to use
it for our use-case.

Best regards,

Jean-Baptiste Bohuon

[1] It accurately eflects the state of matters, which is that OIDC support is a resource issue but understood to be a requirement, so it's under Planned, while OAuth in a more general sense would have to be much more defined as a use case to do anything significant, so it's in a looser category.

It is not likely we would do anything until that work is done and being evaluated, no matter what resources we had.

Beyond that, there are insufficient resources to commit to taking on such a substantial new amount of technical debt, and nobody committing to volunteer to do it for an extended period of time by joining the project, so there is no commitment to ship anything unless something changes, more people join the project, or we drop something.
