What is OpenID Connect?
OpenID Connect (OIDC) is an identity layer built on top of OAuth 2.0. It allows applications to verify the identity of users and obtain basic profile information in a standard, interoperable way. OIDC uses JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) for secure token exchange.
How noo id implements OIDC
noo id is a fully compliant OpenID Connect provider supporting the Authorization Code flow, PKCE, and client credentials grant. We publish a standard discovery document at /.well-known/openid-configuration for automatic client setup.
- ✓ Authorization Code flow with PKCE for public and confidential clients
- ✓ Standard discovery endpoint for automatic configuration
- ✓ JWT-based ID tokens and access tokens with configurable claims
- ✓ UserInfo endpoint for fetching profile data
- ✓ Token introspection and revocation endpoints
- ✓ Support for custom scopes and claims mapping
Why OIDC matters
OIDC is the de facto standard for modern authentication. Using a standards-based protocol means your applications work with any OIDC-compliant provider — no proprietary lock-in. It is supported by every major framework and language, making integration straightforward.
