What is OpenID Connect?

Microsoft and Google use OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication protocol that adds an identity layer to OAuth 2.0 by profiling and extending it. Members can utilize OIDC to verify an end user’s identity using authorization server authentication. By layering OIDC on top of OAuth 2.0, a single framework is created that promises to protect APIs, mobile native apps, and browser apps in a unified design.

Note: As a user in a Single-Sign-On (SSO) organization with OpenID Connect (OIDC) enabled, when you log on to Bluescape, the workspaces you expect to see may not be present. If this condition occurs, see Unable to See SSO Workspaces After Logging On to Bluescape.
