OAuth2

[Bergiu]

Please add OAuth2 support.

Can you explain a litte bit, what oauth feature you want? did you want to use a seperate authorization service (google, github..) to let user authorize with your filebin service or do you want to implement a client witch makes oauth requests to the filebin service as authorization service?

[Bergiu]

First of all sorry for too little information. I want to use external OAuth providers (GitLab's OAuth2 authentication service provider) as authentication source.

That probably requires some rather widespread changes to how authentication is handled. The current system only allows to provide plugins that then handle the username/password verification, but it doesn't support a full replacement of the authentication handling which I think would be required for this.

I'm currently somewhat starved for time and I don't yet know how complicated the changes for this would be so I can't promise anything. Would you be interested in providing a patch for this with some mentoring from my side?

[Bergiu]

I would like to provide a patch, but I don't know how dificult it is and if I am qualified enougth to do this. I will have a look at how oauth works and would appreciate some help from your site.
