Apigee token management and username/password OAuth authentication

I have a question about delegating token management:

http://apigee.com/docs/api-services/content/authorize-requests-using-oauth-20#delegating-token-management

Does this mean that Apigee Edge will generate the token, and it is only the storage that is delegated?

What feature could I use if I want my own external system to perform the username/password authentication?

Thanks.

That's right. Apigee will generate the token; you'll store it.

For the authorization grant types that require username/password authentication of the app end user, you always perform the user authentication via an external system.

You can see an example of password authentication in an OAuth flow in this sample on github:
