OpenID Connect¶
The OpenID Connect protocol is a widely used standard protocol based on OAuth2.0. You will find an easy introduction in the Guide to OAuth2.0.
The user authentication via OpenID Connect is completely separated from the product you want to use and is done by an identitiy server. Currently SEAL Systems products particularly use the Keycloak identity server, but you may use other OpenID Connect-capable identity servers as well.
