  • OAuth does not equal OpenID Connect

    by Gluu Federation,

    Your message is awaiting moderation. Thank you for participating in the discussion.

    What I see a lot is that people use OAuth2 clients, which work with OpenID Connect, but do not use the security features of OpenID Connect. Is this code verifying the nonce in the id_token? Does it follow all the recommendations in the OpenID Connect basic client implementers guide. Working code is great. But secure code is better. See www.gluu.co/oauth-saml-openid on OAuth v. SAML v. OpenID Connect for a deeper discussion. Also, consider using a client like oxd.gluu.org oxd which provides a secure implementation of OpenID Connect client calls, without some of the complexity required by a low level OAuth client.
