OpenID
In this video, you will learn about OpenID, which is formally known as OpenID Foundation. You will learn what OpenID does, how it is used, and the processes that occur with using it.
OpenID is an open standard and is an authentication protocol that can also handle authorization. It is currently in version 3 (since 2014) and contains specified components that include:
- relying parties (RP) – the application
- the user
- OpenID provider (IdP)
- Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)
- JSON/REST
Reflect and share: Now that you have learned about some specialized technology used in the IdAM context, you know there are various options to choose from, which will largely depend on your context and its resources. If you are using any of these technologies mentioned so far, what are some of the benefits and challenges you have experienced? If you are not using any of these, which would you want to select and why?
