[OAUTH] [FOLLOW-UP] Support Additional Token Types Beyond Bearer

[chris-schra]

Follow-up Task - Token Type Flexibility

Location

packages/server/src/types/oauth-provider.ts:72

Current State

/** Token type (always 'Bearer' for now) */

Proposed Enhancement

While Bearer tokens are standard for OAuth 2.0, consider supporting:

• MAC tokens (for additional security)
• Custom token types for specific use cases
• Token type negotiation

Priority

🟢 Low - Bearer tokens are industry standard and sufficient for most use cases

Context

The current implementation hardcodes the token type as 'Bearer'. This is perfectly acceptable for OAuth 2.0 compliance, but the comment suggests this was a deliberate simplification that could be expanded in the future.

Note

This may not need implementation unless specific requirements arise for alternative token types.
