UserInfo service

Open ID Connect is an Identity Federation System based on OAuth 2.0. Identities are federated via so-called ID tokens. ID tokens contain information like username, e-mail, etc. about an authenticated end-user.

In addition to the ID token, Open ID Connect specifies a UserInfo Endpoint, which can be used to acquire additional information such as address, phone number, etc. about an end user. Clients can request this information by sending a request to the UserInfo Endpoint. The UserInfo service in nevisIDM acts as a UserInfo Endpoint, which can be used to acquire this additional information about the authenticated user. For more information, see UserInfo Endpoint.
