Hi there,

after viewing some tutorials and running some samples code I understood the
client side of OAuth 2.0.

Using existing Authorization Server seems to be not too complicated.

Question is: How to implement my own Authorization Server?

Since many companies have their own User/Privilege system, LDAP based (e.g.
Active Directory), etc. - they must have their own Authorization Server.

Is there a framework, libraries, etc. for that? Or do I have to write the
code from scratch?

cheers,
Richard
