@richiekhoo@hachyderm.io I think it depends what you mean by "first-class" support. @coopcloud@social.coop already has SSO support using apps like Rauthy. It exposes this to installed apps using environment variables so that they can use Rauthy as an/the oauth provider. Each app has a different extent to which it will support that, but some of the well maintained ones do quite a good job. What would "first class" mean. Would it mean that instead of any SSO app providing this capability there would be a built-in choice? I wouldn't want that, because I potentially need a different choice for neighbourhood-first approaches. Would it mean tighter integration into the apps? That would lead to forking other open source apps and would really cut down the ability to use them. I think the Co-op cloud approach could be tightened up a bit. SSO, is one of the cross cutting capabilities that one app can provide to other apps. The other two I'm aware of in CC are backup and email. I think those capabilities need to be formalised more, and I'd like to be able to add my own (eg, P2Panda connectivity). You should come help work on that :)
