Hi Max,
oauth2 can allow you to do this since in the end it relies on generated
access_tokens which are more or less similar to the fixed keys of the
authkey module.
The difference is that setting up the oauth2 is much more complex, but it
also gives you more security and reliability (as an instance the
access_tokens are generated and are associated to expiring sessions instead
of being permanent as for the authkey module).
The problem is that actually you need an oauth2 service provider of course.
If you want to implement your custom oauth2 service provider, then you
might need to create also a small custom extension of the GeoServer plugin.
Best Regards,
Alessio Fabiani.
