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 2.0是一个安全协议。它既不是认证协议，也不是授权协议。

根据定义，身份验证回答了两个问题。

用户是谁? 用户当前是否在系统上?

OAuth 2.0具有以下授予类型

client_credentials:当一个应用程序需要与另一个应用程序交互并修改多个用户的数据时。 authorization_code:用户委托授权服务器发出access_token，客户端可以使用该token访问受保护的资源 refresh_token:当access_token过期时，可以利用刷新令牌获得一个新的access_token password:用户向调用授权服务器并接收access_token的客户机提供他们的登录凭据

这4个工具都有一个共同点，即access_token，这是一个可用于访问受保护资源的工件。

access_token没有提供“Authentication”协议必须回答的2个问题的答案。

一个解释Oauth 2.0的例子(来源:Oauth 2 in Action, Manning publications)

让我们来谈谈巧克力。我们可以用巧克力做很多甜点，包括软糖、冰淇淋和蛋糕。但是，这些都不能等同于巧克力，因为制作这种甜点还需要多种其他成分，如奶油和面包，尽管巧克力听起来像是主要成分。类似地，OAuth 2.0是巧克力，而cookie、TLS基础设施、身份提供者是提供“身份验证”功能所需的其他成分。

如果你需要身份验证，你可以使用OpenID Connect，它提供了一个“id_token”，除了access_token，它可以回答每个身份验证协议必须回答的问题。

OAuth

仅用于委托授权——这意味着您授权第三方服务访问使用个人数据，而无需提供密码。此外，OAuth“会话”通常比用户会话存活更久。这意味着OAuth被设计为允许授权

例如，Flickr使用OAuth允许第三方服务发布和编辑个人照片，而不需要他们提供自己的flicker用户名和密码。

OpenID

用于验证单点登录身份。所有OpenID应该做的就是允许OpenID提供者证明你说你是。然而，许多站点使用身份验证来提供授权(然而，这两者可以分开)

也就是说，一个人在机场出示护照，以证明他们所使用的机票上的人就是他们自己。

我想谈谈这个问题的一个特定方面，如以下评论所述:

OAuth:在授予某些特性的访问权限之前，必须进行身份验证，对吗?所以OAuth =什么OpenId +授予访问某些功能?- Hassan Makarov 6月21日1:57

是的……也没有。答案很微妙，所以请耐心听我说。

当OAuth流将您重定向到目标服务(即OAuth提供者)时，您很可能需要在将令牌交还给客户机应用程序/服务之前使用该服务进行身份验证。然后，生成的令牌允许客户端应用程序代表给定用户发出请求。

注意最后一句话的一般性:具体来说，我写的是“代表给定用户”，而不是“代表您”。一个常见的错误是假设“拥有与给定用户拥有的资源交互的能力”意味着“您和目标资源的所有者是同一人”。

不要犯这样的错误。

虽然您确实使用OAuth提供者进行身份验证(例如，通过用户名和密码，或者SSL客户端证书或其他方式)，但客户端获得的回报不应该被视为身份证明。例如，在一个流中，对另一个用户的资源的访问被委托给您(通过代理，OAuth客户端)。授权并不意味着身份验证。

要处理身份验证，您可能需要研究OpenID Connect，它本质上是OAuth 2.0设置的基础之上的另一层。以下是关于OpenID Connect(在我看来)最突出的一点(来自https://oauth.net/articles/authentication/):)

OpenID Connect is an open standard published in early 2014 that defines an interoperable way to use OAuth 2.0 to perform user authentication. In essence, it is a widely published recipe for chocolate fudge that has been tried and tested by a wide number and variety of experts. Instead of building a different protocol to each potential identity provider, an application can speak one protocol to as many providers as they want to work with. Since it's an open standard, OpenID Connect can be implemented by anyone without restriction or intellectual property concerns. OpenID Connect is built directly on OAuth 2.0 and in most cases is deployed right along with (or on top of) an OAuth infrastructure. OpenID Connect also uses the JSON Object Signing And Encryption (JOSE) suite of specifications for carrying signed and encrypted information around in different places. In fact, an OAuth 2.0 deployment with JOSE capabilities is already a long way to defining a fully compliant OpenID Connect system, and the delta between the two is relatively small. But that delta makes a big difference, and OpenID Connect manages to avoid many of the pitfalls discussed above by adding several key components to the OAuth base: [...]

The document then goes on to describe (among other things) token IDs and a UserInfo endpoint. The former provides a set of claims (who you are, when the token was issued, etc, and possibly a signature to verify the authenticity of the token via a published public key without having to ask the upstream service), and the latter provides a means of e.g. asking for the user's first/last name, email, and similar bits of info, all in a standardized way (as opposed to the ad-hoc extensions to OAuth that people used before OpenID Connect standardized things).

OpenID、OAuth、OpenID Connect的区别解释:

OpenID is a protocol for authentication while OAuth is for authorization. Authentication is about making sure that the guy you are talking to is indeed who he claims to be. Authorization is about deciding what that guy should be allowed to do. In OpenID, authentication is delegated: server A wants to authenticate user U, but U's credentials (e.g. U's name and password) are sent to another server, B, that A trusts (at least, trusts for authenticating users). Indeed, server B makes sure that U is indeed U, and then tells to A: "ok, that's the genuine U". In OAuth, authorization is delegated: entity A obtains from entity B an "access right" which A can show to server S to be granted access; B can thus deliver temporary, specific access keys to A without giving them too much power. You can imagine an OAuth server as the key master in a big hotel; he gives to employees keys which open the doors of the rooms that they are supposed to enter, but each key is limited (it does not give access to all rooms); furthermore, the keys self-destruct after a few hours. To some extent, authorization can be abused into some pseudo-authentication, on the basis that if entity A obtains from B an access key through OAuth, and shows it to server S, then server S may infer that B authenticated A before granting the access key. So some people use OAuth where they should be using OpenID. This schema may or may not be enlightening; but I think this pseudo-authentication is more confusing than anything. OpenID Connect does just that: it abuses OAuth into an authentication protocol. In the hotel analogy: if I encounter a purported employee and that person shows me that he has a key which opens my room, then I suppose that this is a true employee, on the basis that the key master would not have given him a key which opens my room if he was not.

OpenID Connect与OpenID 2.0有何不同? OpenID Connect执行许多与OpenID 2.0相同的任务，但确实如此 以一种api友好的方式，在本地和移动设备上都可用 应用程序。OpenID Connect为健壮性定义了可选机制 签名和加密。而OAuth 1.0a和OpenID的集成 2.0需要一个扩展，在OpenID连接中，OAuth 2.0功能与协议本身集成。

OpenID connect will give you an access token plus an id token. The id token is a JWT and contains information about the authenticated user. It is signed by the identity provider and can be read and verified without accessing the identity provider. In addition, OpenID connect standardizes quite a couple things that oauth2 leaves up to choice. for instance scopes, endpoint discovery, and dynamic registration of clients. This makes it easier to write code that lets the user choose between multiple identity providers.

我目前正在研究OAuth 2.0和OpenID连接规范。以下是我的理解: 之前他们是:

OpenID was proprietary implementation of Google allowing third party applications like for newspaper websites you can login using google and comment on an article and so on other usecases. So essentially, no password sharing to newspaper website. Let me put up a definition here, this approach in enterprise approach is called Federation. In Federation, You have a server where you authenticate and authorize (called IDP, Identity Provider) and generally the keeper of User credentials. the client application where you have business is called SP or Service Provider. If we go back to same newspaper website example then newspaper website is SP here and Google is IDP. In enterprise this problem was earlier solved using SAML. that time XML used to rule the software industry. So from webservices to configuration, everything used to go to XML so we have SAML, a complete Federation protocol OAuth: OAuth saw it's emergence as an standard looking at all these kind of proprietary approaches and so we had OAuth 1.o as standard but addressing only authorization. Not many people noticed but it kind of started picking up. Then we had OAuth 2.0 in 2012. CTOs, Architects really started paying attention as world is moving towards Cloud computing and with computing devices moving towards mobile and other such devices. OAuth kind of looked upon as solving major problem where software customers might give IDP Service to one company and have many services from different vendors like salesforce, SAP, etc. So integration here really looks like federation scenario bit one big problem, using SAML is costly so let's explore OAuth 2.o. Ohh, missed one important point that during this time, Google sensed that OAuth actually doesn't address Authentication, how will IDP give user data to SP (which is actually wonderfully addressed in SAML) and with other loose ends like: a. OAuth 2.o doesn't clearly say, how client registration will happen b. it doesn't mention anything about the interaction between SP (Resource Server) and client application (like Analytics Server providing data is Resource Server and application displaying that data is Client)

从技术上讲，这里已经给出了很好的答案，我想到了给出简要的进化观点
