Vladislav  , oauth2 is not meant for authentication, is meant for
authorization, if you use oauth2 for authentication, then you are
introducing some security issues on your app
http://www.thread-safe.com/2012/01/problem-with-oauth-for-authentication.html

if you want to authenticate your users in a safe way, you should use openid
endpoint first, then the oauth2 proctected api to get additional user info,
that is not provided by openid netiher its extensions (SREG/AX) by default
