OpenID Connect
The Authentication Framework provides user identity information using the OpenID Connect (OIDC) industry standard.
The purpose of OpenID Connect is to provide apps with a way to get information about the user.
OpenID Connect is an identity layer built on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol.
With OpenID Connect, third party apps are provided authenticated information about the user in the form of an identity token.
