What is XOauth and its relationship with OAuth? -
some opensocial containers use xoauth_security_token
signing requests, instead of oauth_token
, oauth_token_secret
.
is xoauth alternative oauth?(*) behind xoauth , official spec?
casual googling lead me xoauth.py google-mail-xoauth-tools project states it's "utilities xoauth authentication".
(*)aside: mustn't be, because container uses other oauth_xxx parameters alongside xoauth_xxx ones.
where did see use of xoauth_security_token? googled , did not single hit.
xoauth sasl authentication mechanism based on oauth signatures. can used smtp or imap authentication instance. there's proposal make ietf standard, official sasl mechanism. supported google , works gmail smtp , imap access.
for more information how implement , use it:
