在阅读和做了一些工作后，我认为我需要知道的事情是:OpenID Connect, OAuth, JWT和SAML。

我来总结一下，可能会对大家有所帮助:

OpenID连接(OIDC):如果我们可以使用谷歌帐户登录一个网站，那么您使用的是OIDC。

OAuth:一个应用程序想要访问我的facebook联系人列表，并代表我做一些事情。如果我授权这个应用程序，那么我可能正在使用OAuth。

JWT: OAuth使用JWT, JWT (JSON Web令牌)-它只是一种令牌格式。JWT令牌是JSON编码的数据结构，包含有关发行者、主题(索赔)、到期时间等信息。对它进行签名以防止篡改和真实性，并且可以使用对称或非对称方法对它进行加密以保护令牌信息。JWT比SAML 1.1/2.0更简单，所有设备都支持它，而且它比SWT(简单Web令牌)更强大。

OAuth中的授权流程:

OAuth 2.0协议为授权用户和获取访问令牌提供了几个工作流。这取决于客户端的类型和体系结构，哪个流是最合适的。

下面是2个最常用的授权流程:

授权码:适用于包含客户端和服务器组件的第三方网站。

用户向安全登录网页输入凭据。 登录后，浏览器被重定向到一个特殊的URL(由客户端定义)，并在URL中传递一个授权代码。 第三方服务器使用授权代码在后台通过另一个HTTP请求获取访问令牌。 从https://developers.video.ibm.com/api-basics-authentication/

注意:如果你有一个前端应用程序，服务器在浏览器中设置了cookie，那么你的浏览器中已经有了cookie，可以访问该网站。

客户端凭证:开发服务器端应用程序以管理其内容或设置的用户的最佳选择。

IBM有一个很好的指南:https://developers.video.ibm.com/api-basics-authentication 要了解所有其他流的优点和缺点:这里:https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/workflow-of-oauth-2-0/

SAML:也用作openid的替代品，但它是基于xml的。因为开发人员发现OIDC更容易使用，而且它更灵活(例如，与基于xml的SAML相比，与移动应用程序一起使用更容易)，OIDC看起来将成为赢家。

OpenID连接(OIDC)与SAML:主要区别:

SAML transmits user data in XML format. OIDC transmits user data in JSON format. SAML calls the user data it sends a SAML Assertion. OIDC calls the data Claims. SAML calls the application or system the user is trying to get into the Service Provider. OIDC calls it the Relying Party. SAML is old, has more features, but OpenID is gaining more popularity as it is easier to implement, easier to use than XML based SAML But not all identity providers support OpenID or SAML, if the identity provider you want to integrate only supports SAML, then you have no choice.

想要更多吗?你可以读一下OAuth和OpenID的类比: http://cakebaker.42dh.com/2008/04/01/openid-versus-oauth-from-the-users-perspective/

OpenID(主要)用于识别/身份验证，这样stackoverflow.com就知道我拥有chris.boyle.name(或任何位置)，因此我可能就是昨天拥有chris.boyle.name并获得一些声誉点的同一个人。

OAuth是为授权代表您执行操作而设计的，因此stackoverflow.com(或任何地方)可以请求许可，例如，自动代表您发送Tweet，而不需要知道您的Twitter密码。

OpenID是关于身份验证的。证明你是谁)，OAuth是关于授权(即。授予对功能/数据等的访问权。而不必处理原始的身份验证)。

OAuth可以在外部合作伙伴站点中使用，允许访问受保护的数据，而无需重新对用户进行身份验证。

博客文章“从用户的角度看OpenID与OAuth”从用户的角度对两者进行了简单的比较，而“OAuth-OpenID:如果你认为它们是同一件事，你就找错了对象”有更多的信息。

更多的是对问题的延伸而不是答案，但它可能会为上面伟大的技术答案增加一些视角。我是一个在很多领域都很有经验的程序员，但是在网页编程方面完全是个新手。现在尝试使用Zend框架构建一个基于web的应用程序。

Definitely will implement an application-specific basic username/password authentication interface, but recognize that for a growing number of users the thought of yet another username and password is a deterrent. While not exactly social networking, I know that a very large percentage of the application's potential users already have facebook or twitter accounts. The application doesn't really want or need to access information about the user's account from those sites, it just wants to offer the convenience of not requiring the user to set up new account credentials if they don't want to. From a functionality point of view, that would seem a poster child for OpenID. But it seems that neither facebook nor twitter are OpenID providers as such, though they do support OAuth authentication to access their user's data.

在我读过的所有关于这两者及其区别的文章中，直到我看到上面Karl Anderson的观察，“OAuth可以用于身份验证，这可以被认为是一种无操作授权”，我才看到任何明确的确认OAuth足以满足我想要做的事情。

In fact, when I went to post this "answer", not being a member at the time, I looked long and hard at the bottom of this page at the options for identifying myself. The option for using an OpenID login or obtaining one if I didn't have one, but nothing about twitter or facebook, seemed to suggest that OAuth wasn't adequate for the job. But then I opened another window and looked for the general signup process for stackoverflow - and lo and behold there's a slew of 3rd-party authentication options including facebook and twitter. In the end I decided to use my google id (which is an OpenID) for exactly the reason that I didn't want to grant stackoverflow access to my friends list and anything else facebook likes to share about its users - but at least it's a proof point that OAuth is adequate for the use I had in mind.

It would really be great if someone could either post info or pointers to info about supporting this kind of multiple 3rd-part authorization setup, and how you deal with users that revoke authorization or lose access to their 3rd party site. I also get the impression that my username here identifies a unique stackoverflow account that I could access with basic authentication if I wanted to set it up, and also access this same account through other 3rd-party authenticators (e.g. so that I would be considered logged in to stackoverflow if I was logged in to any of google, facebook, or twitter...). Since this site is doing it, somebody here probably has some pretty good insight on the subject. :-)

很抱歉这篇文章写了这么长时间，而且更多的是一个问题而不是一个答案——但是Karl的评论似乎是在OAuth和OpenID上大量的帖子中最合适的地方。如果我没有找到更好的地方，我提前道歉，我确实试过了。

OpenId使用OAuth来处理身份验证。

通过类比，就像。net依赖于Windows API。你可以直接调用Windows API，但是它太宽了，太复杂了，方法参数太大了，你很容易犯错误/bug /安全问题。

OpenId/OAuth也是如此。OpenId依赖于OAuth来管理身份验证，但定义了特定的令牌(Id_token)、数字签名和特定的流。

OAuth在授权之上构建身份验证:用户将对其身份的访问委托给应用程序，然后应用程序成为身份API的消费者，从而找出是谁首先授权了客户端http://oauth.net/articles/authentication/
