Hi Pierre,

Thanks for sharing this.  I'm still making my way through it but I have a
question:

Does this approach allow for federated authentication to work in a
non-browser user environment (like command-line tools or a python script or
some other program...)?

Cheers, and see you at the interop.

Brian
