CIDP is built on IdentityServer4, an OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 framework for ASP.NET Core.
This provides CIDP with the ability to enable the following features in your applications:
-
Authentication as a Service - centralised login logic and workflow for all of your applications
-
Single Sign-on / Sign-out - single sign-on (and out) over multiple application types
-
Access Control for APIs - issue access tokens for APIs for various types of clients, e.g. server to server, web applications, SPAs and native/mobile apps
In order to use the Identity Server and you will need to login to the CIDP Admin, this will allow you to:
-
Create and configure your applications
-
Create and configure application sets
-
Create and configure your authentication sources (including external providers)
-
Provide local certificates
-
Manage Identity and API resources
