Test our GetClientHandler function, add isAuthError helper. Add a helper that identifies whether the error passed to it is an authentication error or is some other type of error. This is useful fo checking whether or not an internal error occurred while authenticating users. Update all instances where we call our authentication helper to make them use the new error helper. All tests continue to pass. Add a new test case for retrieving a client as an unauthenticated user. This clears the client's secret from the response before sending it. Update the GetClientHandler function to return the secret when the owner of the client used Basic Auth in the request. Add a new test case for retrieving a client as an authenticated user, both the owner and a non-owner user. This makes sure the secret is divulged only in the appropriate cases.

| paddy@57 | 2 Package auth provides an authentication service for managing user accounts and an OAuth2 provider. |
| paddy@57 | 3 |
| paddy@57 | 4 The service is an opinionated implementation of authentication using passphrases and the |
| paddy@57 | 5 code.secondbit.org/pass package to implement user credentials and accounts. Additionally, users |
| paddy@57 | 6 are permitted to login using their email address on record or their username interchangeably. |
| paddy@57 | 7 Care is also taken to be able to mitigate attacks that have already happened and plan ahead for |
| paddy@57 | 8 the worst case scenarios. |

| paddy@57 | 10 An OAuth2 provider is also built-in and provided, complete with client registration and management, |
| paddy@57 | 11 as well as a specification-based set of handlers for managing the issuing of grants and tokens. Token |
| paddy@57 | 12 validiity may be asserted through an API, or a proxy service is provided for stripping auth-specific |
| paddy@57 | 13 information from requests and replacing it with a trusted header containing information about the user |
| paddy@57 | 14 and client that authorized the request. |
