Yeah ... seems like OAuth is definitely suited for different resource services 
- as written, scope takes care of that. For instance Facebook offers messages, 
photos, and a bunch of other services, across two different APIs (the Graph and 
REST) and we distinguish permissions using scope.

As others have asked, why can't you just have a bunch of different scopes like 
read_mail, read_webstorage, read_phone, etc?

Did I get you right? Your answer is: Oauth is not suited for deployments with 
different resource servers which rely in a single authz server?

I don't know why you categorize this as  "complex". Is it so unusual to have 
let's say mail, webstorage, telephony, and payment services?

At Deutsche Telekom, we operate such a deployment (with much more different 
resource servers) and I had hoped to move our token service towards OAuth v2.

So would you recommend me zo stick to our proprietary protocol?


I'm confused why scope isn't sufficient for your needs.
