I may in the near future need to implement an OAuth2 provider. I was curious if anyone has any experience doing that and could share some insights/gotchas about doing so? Is there an Elixir library you recommend for doing something like that?

OAuth2 provider or consumer? I’ve not ran across any providers yet but I am curious if one gets made.
Exadra37
From the top of my head and with no order of preference:
Okta
Curity
Auth0
blatyo
Provider

Why that order?
Exadra37
I wanted to say
no order of preferenceI just pasted them in the order I remembered them…

I’ve been using a hydra server for OAuth2 provider on one of my open source projects, but I would love something in Elixir. ^.^
Didn’t Okta cost money?
Exadra37
All them will cost if the free tier is not enough to cover your needs…

I did find these two:
https://github.com/mustafaturan/authable
https://github.com/danschultzer/ex_oauth2_provider
Anyone use these and recommend one over the other?

Yeah that’s not so good. I self-host, edit them, etc… Any thing that is not open source, or costs anything (especially as I make no money on any of my personal projects, free open source the whole way), or that I cannot easily self-host is pretty easily a hard Nope.
Exadra37
I do not have affiliation with any of them, I just use them time to time in my demos, that was the first ones that come to my mind…
I would also go with self hosted and open source ones, but the Auth0 free tier seems to be very generous, if is only for a pet project.
Another option, used a lot in the enterprise world, and this time open source:
