Also being tracked at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-1624

The consumer implementation is v2-21 compliant and was tested against Google, Facebook and the internal shindig provider documented in this Wiki and linked to above.

Overview

• The OAuth 2.0 Consumer proposal is the combination of a small number of changes to the gadget spec and gadgets.io.makeRequest() API to allow gadgets running in an OpenSocial container to make proxied HttpRequests to service providers protected by OAuth 2.0.
• The Shindig 3.0.0. Java Reference Implementation is an OAuth 2.0-v21 spec compliant server side implementation that supports Authorization Code (3-leggedparty) and Client Credentials (2-leggedparty) flows.  
• It has been tested against Google API, Facebook API and the Shindig Provider developed by Matt and Eric with the "Bearer" Token Type.
• The reference implementation can be extended (via Guice binding injections) to support additional Client Authentication requirements, Grant Types, Token Types, Authorization Responses and Token Responses.
• The default OAuth2Request and OAuth2Store implementations offer other plugin points required for production-ready OAuth 2.0 deployments.  Persistence, Caching and Secret Encryptpion.
