AuthenticationProvider, ImpersonatingAuthenticationProvider

@DependsOn(value=OAuthAuthenticationProvider.class)
public interface TwoLeggedOAuthWithImpersonationAuthenticationProvider
extends ImpersonatingAuthenticationProvider

The 2-Legged OAuth Authentication with Impersonation provider. 2-Legged OAuth Authentication with Impersonation authentication can be used to access user-specific information without involving user-interaction (such as the dance process in standard OAuth). The protocol is based on the standard 2-Legged OAuth http://oauth.googlecode.com/svn/spec/ext/consumer_request/1.0/drafts/1/spec.html but with a small variation inspired by how Google implemented the protocol https://developers.google.com/google-apps/gmail/oauth_protocol. Since the impersonation mechanism can be used to obtain escalated privileges on the remote application, consider using this authentication mode only if the caller application can be fully trusted. Pass this type to the ReadOnlyApplicationLink.createAuthenticatedRequestFactory(Class) method to obtain a RequestFactory instance that uses 2 Legged OAuth with Impersonation authentication for authentication.
