XenForo 2.3 will have a built-in in OAuth2 server and an accompanying OAuth2 provider for XenForo.
While it it will be possible to add multiple clients, it will not be possible (without manually modifying the database) to add multiple connected account providers of type XenForo.
What does this mean?
Scenario 1
Connect two different XenForo installations (consumers) to a third instance (provider)
This scenario will work out of the box with XenForo 2,.3
Scenario 2
Connect one Xenforo instance (consumer) to two other XenForos instances (providers)
This scenario will not work out of the box as there is no GUI to do so, doing this would require to manually modify the database.
Therefore my suggestion is to allow adding multple connected account providers of type XenForo via admin panel.
Ideally it should be possible to add multiple instances of any type that can be "multiple" as that would allow 3rd party developers to add further types (like Okta, Keycloak, etc). that might make sense to be available more than once.
