Question 1

How to add a login page with OSIN?

Accepted Answer

OSIN doesn't provide UI; you need to implement the login logic in your HTTP handlers. In the authorize endpoint, handle user authentication and set ar.Authorized = true after validation, as shown in the example server code.

Question 2

OSIN vs ORY Hydra for OAuth2 in Go

Accepted Answer

OSIN is a lightweight library for building custom OAuth2 servers with flexibility, while ORY Hydra is a full-featured OAuth2 and OpenID Connect server with more out-of-the-box capabilities. Choose OSIN for control, Hydra for comprehensive solutions.

Question 3

Does OSIN support OpenID Connect?

Accepted Answer

No, OSIN is focused on OAuth2 RFC 6749 and does not include OpenID Connect layers. You would need to implement OIDC separately if required for identity features.

Question 4

How to use Redis for token storage with OSIN?

Accepted Answer

You can use the community-contributed osinredis library or implement the osin.Storage interface to integrate Redis, handling token persistence and retrieval manually based on the storage examples.

Question 5

Is OSIN production ready?

Accepted Answer

Yes, OSIN is used in production by projects like OpenShift, but it's a library requiring careful implementation of storage and security measures, not a plug-and-play solution.

Question 6

How to handle refresh tokens in OSIN?

Accepted Answer

OSIN supports refresh tokens through OAuth2 specification; implement the storage methods to store and validate refresh tokens in the token endpoint logic, as part of the flexible storage interface.
