I don't see why OAuth doesn't solve this problem for you.
OAuth is on my requirements list as well. Especially OAuth2 - client_credentials
OAuth would be very much appreciated.
The fact that OAuth isnt mentioned a single time in the article is glaring. You should at least have a paragraph like "why not just use OAuth?" where you answer that question. Otherwise it seems youre avoiding the question on purpose, as these two items are clearly in the same space.
Any reason this is better than standard OAuth2 flows?
Yeah they need to implement OAuth or something similar.
Correction, OAuth < 2.0 sucks. OAuth2.0 is actually easy to use and more secure.
can you explain why this is easier than oauth?
My bad, yes I meant only OAuth.
Not following. What's wrong with oauth?
