auth
auth/doc.go
Implement handlers for retrieving clients. Create a GetClientHandler and ListClientsHandler for retrieving details about a client. Currently, we're not returning the client secret for these clients. We're also not doing any auth. We may want to restrict auth to the owner of the clients, and return secrets only when auth'd, and maybe even only when a special header is included. Alternatively, we could only return the secret when retrieving a single client. Still unsure how I want to handle that.

2 Package auth provides an authentication service for managing user accounts and an OAuth2 provider.
4 The service is an opinionated implementation of authentication using passphrases and the
5 code.secondbit.org/pass package to implement user credentials and accounts. Additionally, users
6 are permitted to login using their email address on record or their username interchangeably.
7 Care is also taken to be able to mitigate attacks that have already happened and plan ahead for
8 the worst case scenarios.
10 An OAuth2 provider is also built-in and provided, complete with client registration and management,
11 as well as a specification-based set of handlers for managing the issuing of grants and tokens. Token
12 validiity may be asserted through an API, or a proxy service is provided for stripping auth-specific
13 information from requests and replacing it with a trusted header containing information about the user
14 and client that authorized the request.
