Abstract: The OpenID Connect (OIDC) specification builds on the OAuth 2.0 framework as a widely adopted identity layer. It provides a standardized and interoperable method for authenticating users and retrieving basic profile information via an ID Token. By leveraging REST-like protocols, OIDC ensures seamless integration across systems and platforms. This article delves into the process of OpenID Providers (OP) connecting with federated Identity Providers (IdPs) to authenticate users, which facilitates the retrieval of user claims that can be returned to Relying Parties (RPs), enabling them to make informed decisions.
