[Server-devel] extension of Moodle authentication mechanism

[Miguel González]

In fact, the only feature so far is mimic authentication mechanism used by
Moodle. I documented [1] how Moodle's/XO autologin works and implemented it
using Flask, the Python web micro framework.

Next step will be to turn xs-authserver into an authorization server maybe
using OAuth. This would allow to use xs-authserver as an identity provider
by external services easily.

If you have problems running xs-authserver, take a look to this issue [2]
in DXS.
