Hello!
I'm deploying Magento for the first time. Version CE 2.3.7 from package. Added a bunch of plugins, most of which has been OK. Just doing final integration testing now.
We use Gluu for Customer Identity Management.
Integrating Gluu with Magento has been a drama. The Gluu code provided is all for Magento1. We have it working now with help from a magento marketplace plugin. But this doesn't really seem the sort of job a plugin is designed for (compared to other plugins I've installed).
I can't help think this feature would be better embedded in the core code.
Any chance customer identity outsourcing via OAuth 2 / OpenID Connect is a feature planned for a future release? Either with or without SCIM support for replicating/editing customer profile data.
I've written my own integrations for our in-house applications, so I have:
1) test environments
2) a good knowledge of the transactions/protocols involved
3) lots of customer data
4) experience with working with open source development
What I don't have is:
1) php experience (I have some)
2) experience with Magento 2 source code
If someone is working on OAuth / OpenID authentication for customer identity management in Magento 2 - please reach out.
If you know that adding this to the core Magento2 code is a bad idea, please let me know why.
If you think adding this to the core Magento2 code is a good idea, please encourage me.
If there is a good place to start (adding this to the core code).
If I wanted to work on this, should I fork the 2.4-develop or 2.5-develop branch as the starting point? (I know the contributions guide says 2.4, but I'm wondering why there is a 2.5, and since this is probably not a minor change, or quick change, if targeting 2.5 is more sensible). I can't find any mention of a planned release timeline for 2.5...
TIA!
