--- Comment #91 from David Cook <[email protected]> ---
When it comes to adding a XOAUTH2 SASL plugin to Postfix, the idea of using a
socketmap to connect to a token service seems logical.

But when it comes to Koha... we already have so many daemons. Plus, we might
want to offer interactive logins for things like Google that don't have client
credential grants like Microsoft. But then that's where handling this with
plugins seems quite interesting.

The "pass" callback in Authen::SASL can be a coderef. Calling plugins makes
sense. 

That said, you could argue that this should be core functionality, so it
doesn't make sense to use plugins. 

But because of the variable options for how to get the token from different
providers... plugins also make a lot of sense. You just choose the plugin you
want to go with. 

Since this is still fairly new territory... maybe plugins do make the most
sense. Once there are tried and true plugins, then we could bring them into
Koha proper. I think that's the way I'm leaning the most...

And it would mean the initial changes needed would be minimal.
