With Vaadin 8 being released and so much of the framework’s API changing, I wonder:

  • Is OAuth 2 still the modern way to access 3rd-party authentication services such as "Sign-in" with Google, Facebook, Microsoft, etc. ?
  • If so, does Vaadin 8 support such authentication services?

I am looking only for authenticating users logging into my Vaadin 8 web app, no authorization needed.

This is not exactly Vaadin or Vaadin 8 related question, but I gave my two cents: OAuth 2's status haven't changed because of Vaadin 8 release, and Vaadin 7 and Vaadin 8 allow both OAuth 2 integration - as I know there isn't official support, but this shouldn't prevent you using OAuth 2 with Vaadin.

  • For vaadin 7 there exists this addon. https://vaadin.com/directory#!addon/oauth2-popup-add-on, since you have the source you should also be able to modify it to work with vaadin 8 – André Schild Mar 13 '17 at 08:48
  • Oauth2 popup add on might have problems with some setups due to push requirement. We had problems with Vaadin 7 (we use jetty & wildfly), and those problems prevented us from using push. Vaadin 8 contains different push libraries, and these problems might have been solved there, but I haven't tested this. – Jukka Nikki Mar 14 '17 at 09:25
