E-Ident APIs
E-Ident APIs Overview
E-Ident supports two authentication protocols for user identification
OIDC (OpenID Connect) - OpenID Connect is an authentication layer built on top of OAuth 2.0. E-Ident supports the Authorization Code Flow, which is suitable for all types of clients including web applications, mobile apps, and JavaScript-based clients. After successful authentication, user information is provided in the form of a signed ID token, which is a secure JSON Web Token (JWT).
SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) 1.1 - As an alternative to OIDC, E-Ident supports SAML 1.1. Upon successful authentication, the service returns a SAML assertion containing user identity attributes. The SAML protocol also supports Single Sign-On (SSO) and logout functionality.
