Getting started | OpenIddict (original) (raw)

Getting started ​

OpenIddict features three independent stacks:

• A server stack, that allows creating an OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect server instance that can be used with internal or external clients. The server stack can be used in both ASP.NET 4.6.2+ and ASP.NET Core 2.1+ applications. To get started, read Creating your own server instance.
• A validation stack, that allows implementing token authentication support for your ASP.NET 4.6.2+ and ASP.NET Core 2.1+ APIs. To get started, read Implementing token validation in your APIs.
• A client stack, that allows integrating with internal or external OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect servers. The client stack can be used in ASP.NET 4.6.2+ or ASP.NET Core 2.1+ applications and can also be used in non-web applications (e.g Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows applications). To get started, read Integrating with a remote server instance.

NOTE

The three stacks can be used together or independently, depending on your specific scenario.
