consider using OAUTH 2 for user auth

[philips]

One interesting thing would be instead of relying on a database for the users and passwords would be to use OAUTH 2. Then aproxy could have a pure user/roles map and use the OAUTH 2 public key to verify the user instead of relying on a custom password database.

This is an OAUTH 2.0 / OIDC provider written in Go if this seems interesting: github.com/coreos/dex

Interesting idea, dex seems like a good choice to integration by default.
Is dex popular ?

@QLeelulu dex is really new but it is based on OAUTH 2.0 / OIDC which is used by Facebook, Google, etc. Just an open source version others can use written in Go.
