OpenIddict is a flexible OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect framework for .NET, providing server, client, and token validation stacks. It supports standard flows and integrates with ASP.NET Core, ASP.NET 4.6.2+, and desktop/mobile apps.
Use cases
- implement an OpenID Connect server in ASP.NET Core
- add OAuth2 token authentication to a .NET API
- integrate OAuth2 login in a .NET desktop or mobile app
- issue and validate JWT access tokens in .NET
- build a custom identity provider with client credentials flow
When to choose
- you need fine-grained control over your OAuth2/OIDC implementation in .NET
- you want a free, permissively licensed OIDC stack for ASP.NET Core
- you need client, server, and token validation support in one framework
When to avoid
- you want a turnkey identity provider with no custom code
- you're not on the .NET platform
- you need certified out-of-the-box identity management with a GUI
