I don't understand.

For example: a CI service wants to write to a Slack channel.

The CI service produces a request and directs me, the channel owner, to Slack where I confirm the request, and then the CI service obtains the scoped access token.

How is this replaced by anything to do with an "upstream reverse proxy"?

EDIT: I think you are thinking of OAuth as SSO. It can be used for that, but that's not it's "true" purpose like it is for SAML.

Yes, that is insane and why LDAP is generally no longer used for web applications.
