OpenID Connect

Last modified: 09 October 2024

OpenID Connect 1.0, as defined by the OpenID Specification, is an identity layer built on OAuth 2.0. It allows client applications to validate an end-user's identity through authentication performed by an authorization server. IT also facilitates the retrieval of user profile details in an interoperable, REST-like fashion.

Using Hub as an OpenID Provider (OP) means configuring the service to authenticate users and issue OpenID Connect tokens. As an OP, Hub acts as a trusted identity provider, allowing users to use their existing credentials to authenticate with other applications or services that support OpenID Connect.
