Introduction​

This section explains the OIDC protocol used by SemApps for authentication.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenID#OpenID_Connect_(OIDC)

In a nutshell​

The OIDC protocol is one of the most widely used authentication protocols (CAS also exists).

It enables a set of applications to manage users' personal data and application access authorisations in a single place. This is also known as SSO (Single Sign On)).

Use in SemApps​

The Virtual Assembly is a partner in an OIDC server project using Keycloak software. This is a way of managing authentication in the Carto4CH project.
