I am a beginner to OAuth - so i want to know what is the difference between Oauth and Oauth Lite
OAuth is an authorization protocol.
OAuth::Lite is a perl library implementing the OAuth 1.0 protocol. If you develop a web service that should provide OAuth authorization or if you develop a perl application that should connect to some OAuth provider, you can use this library.
For OAuth 2.0 there's respectively the OAuth::Lite2 library.

I have created a Web API using .net core 5. I have secured the app using the Microsoft Identity platform. Clients app are able to get to the resource based on their scope/role. So I know that my api is secure.
Now, I need to add the API to Azure API Management tool.
So my question is should I enable OAuth from the Azure API Management to secure my web api even though my app is already secured?. What would be the reason that I enable OAuth from API management?
APIM is a proxy to the backend APIs and implementing security mechanisms to give an extra layer of security to prevent unauthorized access to APIs is a recommended practice.
Configuring OAuth 2.0 Server in APIM merely enables the Developer Portal’s test console as APIM’s client to acquire a token from Azure Active Directory. In the real world, customer will have a different client app that will need to be configured in AAD to get a valid OAuth token that APIM can validate.
OAuth is an authorization framework which allows a recognized client to acquire an access token from an authorization server.
As given in this Microsoft Doc, the Microsoft Identity Platform uses the OAuth 2.0 protocol for handling authorization.

I was working on a project which uses Jwt tokens for authentication and authorization, now I have a new requirement in which I have to use Oauth 2.0 for security purposes and SSO.
I wanted to know is there a way out to convert my Jwt written code to use Oauth 2.0
What is the difference between oauth 2.0, auth0 and wso2? I saw some related post where are explained, more or less well, what are the differences between oauth 2.0 and auth0 but ws02 is not included in the explanation.
OAuth 2.0 is a widely used specification for authorization aspects of resources: https://oauth.net/2/
Auth0 and WSO2 Identity Server are two identity providers (IAM solutions). Both support OAuth 2.0.
Auth0: https://auth0.com/docs/protocols/protocol-oauth2
WSO2 IS: https://is.docs.wso2.com/en/latest/learn/working-with-oauth/
What is the difference between OAuth 2.0 and Auth0? Which one should I use to develop the authentication system?
OAuth 2.0 is a standardized authorization protocol, Auth0 is a company that sells an identity management platform with authentication and authorization services that implements the OAuth2 protocol (among others).
OAuth 2.0 is a protocol that allows a user to grant limited access to their resources on one site, to another site, without having to expose their credentials.
Auth0 is an organisation, who manages Universal Identity Platform for web, mobile and IoT can handle any of them — B2C, B2B, B2E, or a combination.

In case if you cannot understand any of above,
OAuth 2 - is a standard or protocol to implement authorization for any kind of software (windows, mobile or web)
Auth0 - is a software product (cloud and on-prem), that implements the OAuth2 protocol. You can use Auth0 to simplify your
authentication and authorization requirements.
We mainly use auth 2.0 for session based security management at server side. OAuth 2.0 is an authorisation framework that enables a third-party application to obtain limited access to resources the end-user owns. It is about resource access and sharing. While https://auth0.com is a company that sells an identity management platform for authentication related task. So with the help of auth0.com services an app developer don't need to write code for login/registration/social login and its not needed to think about its security. Complete user management task manages by auth0 organisation.
What Identity Provider are you aiming to use?
Auth0, identityserver, ADFS 4.0 etc. all support the OAuth stack.
Using implicit OAuth flow you can connect your Angular application to any of these.
I'm looking for a way to secure my own api with OAuth, but all I find is how to create client that connects to Twitter or Facebook. In the ZF2 docs site there is only example how to use ZendOAuth to connect to Twitter service. Is there any tutorial/documentation or anything ?
Which version about Oauth you are looking for ?
Just add one of these modules to create an Oauth provider. Take care! you have to know how oauth works, to integrate into your application.
