Using a current OAuth server for authentication

Hello there, @DFCommunityManager,

I’ve checked that blog post before, and it is very specific to Facebook.

Now, if what you are trying to imply is that using any of DF OAuth Services is the same for any OAuth system (other than the ones on the list; Facebook, Twitter, Google, Microsoft, Bitbucket, Github and LinkedIn), then I would please encourage you to be more clear and explicit about it, because, by the way the OAuth Servers are presented and the Blog is written, it would seem that only those providers are supported and nothing else.

If that’s the case (that I can use any OAuth service to authenticate against a private OAuth Service), then I guess it would be reasonable to expect an option in the service providers of “Custom” or something like that, because I wouldn’t want my service to be listed as “Facebook” or whatever, because, it is in fact, not Facebook. See?

So, can I use my own OAuth Server to authenticate users in DreamFactory? (v 2.3.1)

Thank you
