OpenID Connect is an authentication protocol that is a simple identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol. It allows Clients clients to verify the identity of the Endend-User user based on the authentication performed by an Authorization Serverauthorization server, as well as to obtain basic profile information about the Endend-User user in an interoperable and REST-like manner.
OpenID Connect allows clients of all types, including Webweb-based, mobile, and JavaScript clients, to request and receive information about authenticated sessions and end-users. The specification suite is extensible, allowing participants to use optional features such as encryption of identity data, discovery of OpenID Providers, and session management, when it makes sense for them.
WSO2 Identity Server 5.1.0 has focused on the following specificationspecifications.
(OpenID Connect Discovery and Session Management specifications are not supported with 5.1.0 version of WSO2 Identity Server and is in the road map for next release.)
