OpenID Connect (OIDC) Authentication

OpenID Connect (OIDC) is the main protocol used to connect to external identity providers.

In FNZ Studio, theOIDCAuth Extension, together with the appway-oidcauth tool (automatically installed in all cloud installations), provides the possibility to enable the integration of the OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol.

At the heart of this framework are two pivotal entities: the OpenID Provider (OP) and the Relying Party (RP). One or more OPs can be configured to be available for an FNZ Studio environment, as illustrated in OpenIDConnect (OIDC) Providers

For FNZ Studio Cloud installations, OIDC Cloud Integration explains the technical requirements for the integration of a third-party Identity Provider (IDP) with our Platform using OpenID Connect.
