IdentityModel is a .NET Standard helper library for claims-based identity, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect. It provides request/response object models, extension methods, and specification constants for interacting with OAuth and OIDC endpoints. Note: the project is being rebranded to Duende.IdentityModel and moved to the DuendeSoftware/foss repository.
Use cases
- make OAuth 2.0 token requests from .NET
- interact with OpenID Connect discovery and token endpoints
- work with standard claims, scopes, and parameter names
- validate and parse identity tokens in .NET apps
- implement client credentials or authorization code flows in C#
When to choose
- you need a lightweight .NET helper for OAuth 2.0 / OIDC protocol operations
- you are building clients against IdentityServer or any compliant OIDC provider
- you want specification constants and request/response models instead of raw HTTP calls
When to avoid
- starting new projects - use the rebranded Duende.IdentityModel package instead
- you need a full authentication UI or user session management rather than protocol helpers
- you are not on the .NET platform
