[Sill, Alan]

Folks,

Thought you would be interested in the following link. Hat tip to Tom Scavo for the link (via Twitter).

Topic:
OpenID Connect provides a lot of advanced facilities to fulfill so many additional feature requested by the member community. It indeed is full of feature that is not Authentication. However, that does not mean that it cannot be used for the simple case of "Just Authentication".
