I'm thinking about using Syncope as our new IDM.
It would be nice if I could use it as the backend for an OAuth 2.0
Authorization Server.
Would that be possible?
Hi Richard,
Syncope is - at least currently - a "pure" Identity Manager, e.g. it is
not directly involved in authentication / authorization operations like
as OAuth 2.0.
You can always, however, use Syncope jointly with some Access Manager
like as CAS (I've done this for several customers) to implement such
scenario.
Some information about the support in CXF for OAuth 2.0 [1] might also
be relevant.
Regards.
