The server waits. The client knocks. OpenID Connect (OIDC) Community Version decides who gets in.

OIDC is an identity layer built on top of OAuth 2.0. It verifies user identity and provides basic profile data through a secure API. The Community Version offers these features in a free, open-source package, ready for integration into your stack. It handles login flows, token issuance, and userinfo endpoints without the weight of enterprise licensing.

With OIDC Community Version, authentication becomes consistent across web and mobile apps. You can connect it to your identity provider or run it standalone. It supports standard scopes, ID tokens, and claims, enabling granular access control. The open-source code means you can inspect, modify, or extend it to meet your exact requirements.

Setup is direct. Configure the issuer URL, client ID, and redirect URIs. Implement authorization code flow or implicit flow as your app demands. Tokens are short-lived, refreshable, and signed for verification. Integration with APIs, microservices, and single-page applications follows the same standard patterns, keeping your endpoints secure.

Security standards under OIDC Community Version are strict: HTTPS enforced, JWT validation implemented, and replay attack resistance built in. Interoperability is ensured through compliance with the core OpenID Connect specifications, making it compatible with most major identity platforms.

Choosing OIDC Community Version means adopting a proven protocol backed by years of open collaboration. It avoids vendor lock-in while giving you the building blocks for modern identity management. Installation, configuration, and deployment can be completed in minutes with clear documentation and active community support.
