additional plugins
Do you know of any additional plugins, or have you started on any additional plugins? Do you have any suggestions if I started any token and/or oauth type plugins?
oauth would be a great plugin to have! I've been planning to do some asymmetric key plugins. Everything should at least be in place to associate multiple login mechanisms with a single user account, but I'm not familiar enough with oauth to know if there are any extra pieces necessary.
I'm working on a plugin that creates a random token and an expiry date. On verify it "redeems" the token. I'm using it for confirming an account after creation. It's working pretty well so far. I was thinking of adding other options to ignore the expiry date and only validate the token to be used for API tokens, however, I think your asymmetric key plugin would be better for that since it would be true keys.
I think the oauth would just need to have different "modes", set by the consuming application, that handles the steps in oauth. I haven't implemented anything with oauth yet either, but I'll post when I do.
