Add StackExchange provider

[kevinchalet]

FYI, StackExchange also supports OpenID 2.0 😕

You can see https://github.com/aspnet-contrib/AspNet.Security.OpenId.Providers/blob/dev/samples/Mvc.Client/Startup.cs for a working sample using the generic OpenID 2.0 authentication middleware.

app.UseOpenIdAuthentication("StackExchange", options => {
    options.AuthenticationScheme = "StackExchange";
    options.Caption = "StackExchange";
    options.Authority = new Uri("https://openid.stackexchange.com/");
    options.CallbackPath = new PathString("/signin-stackexchange");
});

So does that mean we cant implement OAuth 2 with this provider ?

[kevinchalet]

No no, you can create an OAuth2 provider for StackExchange (it supports both OpenID2 and OAuth2).

Here's the documentation: https://api.stackexchange.com/docs/authentication 😄
