Hi,            

             I  took a look at the OAuth 1 Bridge Flow suggested by 
Marius, the thread "OAuth 1  Bridge Flow" and had some thoughts:            

             I  do not really see the necessity for such a flow.           
 

First of all, all participating parties have to be modified and  rolled 
out:            

-  the consumer's application to support (at least) the bridge flow (and 
OAuth 2  [1]),            

-  the authz server to provide OAuth 2  and additionally the bridge flow  
and            

-  the resource server to handle OAuth2.            

Then, sometime later, when at least the authz server doesn't support  OAuth 
1 anymore, the client application and the resource server should be  
cleared up - no more OAuth 1, only OAuth 2. Again a new version to roll  
out.            

             The only (small) benefit I see, is that the user will not be 
asked  for authorization again.            

But is it worth it to develop, implement and roll out a Bridge Flow?  I do 
not think so - too much expense for a small user  interaction.            

Better: directly go to OAuth 2, when it is  needed.            

             The other thing I'm missing, is how to migrate completely to 
OAuth 2  after performing the bridge flow. Issuing a refresh token in the 
response seems  necessary. But this issue was still mentioned (but not 
solved) in the thread  "OAuth 1 Bridge Flow" by Eran.            

                          Thanks,            

Steffi            

             [1] if OAuth 2 will not be supported, a new modified client 
has to be  rolled out at the latest, the resource server doesn't support 
OAuth 1  anymore.
