[OAUTH-WG] Oauth Server to Server

[Antonio Sanso <[e-mail]>]

Hi *,

apologis to be back to this argument :).

Let me try to better explain one use case that IMHO would be really good to have in the OAuth specification family :)

At the moment the only "OAuth standard" way I know to do OAuth server to server is to use [0] namely Resource Owner Password Credentials Grant.

Let me tell I am not a big fun of this particular flow :) (but this is another story).

An arguable better way to solve this scenario is to user (and why not to standardise :S?) the method used by Google (or a variant of it) see [1].

Couple of more things:

- I do not know if Google would be interested to put some effort to standardise it (is anybody from Google lurking :) e.g.Tim Bray :D )
- I am not too familiar with IETF process. Would the OAuth WG take in consideration such proposal draft??

Thanks and regards

Antonio
