Investigate using Authentication Provider API

Comments (2)

Looking through some of the newer issues, I think an API like this could facilitate the usage of OAuth instead of Basic Authentication, which according to Issue #421 is affecting performance. In Issue #429, the problem of how “to create and store credentials when not running locally“ should be addressed by simply using this native API.

Beyond improving the experience for this extension in particular, it will also allow other extensions to utilize the authentication provider (if authorized) to perform additional tasks.

@Matthew Brown We are currently working on integrating the auth provider API. That being said, it won’t help with #421 as our server products don’t currently support OAuth 3LO which is required for us to use OAuth which is why we are stuck with Basic auth in those products.
