Working with oauth 2

Hello meteorians!

I need some guidance or just a starting point to work with oauth 2. I’m writing an a app that currently use google’s oath to authenticate any user that attempt to log in. This is piece of cake, however, I need to change it to a client’s oauth 2 app. the problem is that I have no idea how to do so.

any comment, hint, help or suggestion is highly appreciated

thanks! :smile:

Oauth endpoint functionality is not standardised, so what works for Google Oauth2 may not work for another.

Having said that, I needed to do the same thing when writing an Oauth package for my company’s Oauth service, and ended up taking Meteor’s google and accounts-google code and reworking as necessary. I had to discard some parts and add in others for different endpoints returning different data, but it all worked out in the end.

Check https://atmospherejs.com/centiq/centiq and https://atmospherejs.com/centiq/accounts-centiq and their github repos if it helps.

you mean rolling your own? I’ve tried to do it, but the service provider wasn’t working with it. Regardless, these repos help a lot.
