Subject: [PATCH 2/8] Update plstore-id calculation including user-name
Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2025 03:06:08 -0700
One way to use OAuth2 authentication is to use predefined
`client-id'/`client-secret' values that are already registered,
e.g. thunderbird, evolution.  Meanwhile, plstore-id calculation only
considers `auth-url', `token-url', `scope', and `client-id'.  When
trying to use predefined client-{id,secret} values, it unfortunately
results in the same value of plstore-id when registering multiple
accounts on the same service, preventing users to use multiple
accounts.

This patch adds `user-name' to be part of the values when calculating
plstore-id so that different accounts on the same service using
predefined values will be stored separately.

* plstore/oauth2/oauth2.el (oauth2-compute-id): Add user-name
parameter and include it when calculating plstore-id.
* plstore/oauth2/oauth2.el (oauth2-auth-and-store): Add user-name
parameter and update oauth2-compute-id invocation to include
user-name.
