Configuring OAuth and OpenID Connect

This section explains how to configure OAuth and OpenID Connect with nevisAdmin 4. OAuth 2.0 is a protocol that client applications can use to get access to protected resources on behalf of an authenticated user. OpenID Connect builds on top of OAuth 2.0. It adds ID tokens that provide user information.

To be able to use OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect, you first have to set up a nevisMeta instance. You need the nevisMeta instance to configure clients and resources. Support for nevisMeta is available as of release 4.7 of nevisAdmin 4.
