Research direction
Examine the existing structure of the system design primer repository, particularly how other topics like 'database design' or 'CDN' are presented. Look at the 'solutions' directory and the main README to understand the format. Consider adding a new section on authentication services covering common protocols (OAuth, SAML, JWT) and architectural patterns. The issue has no description; clarify scope by commenting to ask for specific requirements or reference existing discussions.
