OAuth2: Scope
Note that there are two `<authentication>` elements. This allows a fallback, in case a client does not support OAuth2 or does not have a client key for this OAuth2 issuer and therefore cannot authenticate with this issuer.
The scope is difficult. Scope: If we set up email, address book, calendar, and webdav, we do *not* want the user go have to go through 4 authentication processes. Yet, a provider might use different scopes for email and calendar, and that is in line with the OAuth2 spec. The solution is to combine several scopes, using [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-3.3 spaces as separator], in a single auth request. However, it is reported that this fails for some providers[https://stackoverflow. If really necessary, we could add it as optional parameter `<authentication com/questions/8449544/multiple-scope="mail-w">OAuth2<values-to-oauth2/authentication>`, while still defaulting to `<oAuth2>51437063#51437063 The order is important].<That's why we deliberately do not make the scope>`specific to a service or server, but that would cause to the entire configuration. We don't want the above mentioned issue of requiring user to have to authenticate several authentication processestimes in a row. This is a requirement from the end user.
