The way OAuth looks to me, it's designed to prove that a given client is authorized to perform an action. It's not designed to prove that the given client is a specific person. In some cases, you really want to know the latter and not merely the former. So I think in these situations Donald's separation of Authz and Authn makes sense. -Toshio -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
