OpenID Connect: Everything You Need to Know + Spring Boot Implementation

In this video, we dive deep into OpenID Connect, explaining what it is and why it’s essential for modern authentication. You’ll learn about ID tokens, including what information they carry and how they differ from other tokens in the OAuth2 framework. We’ll then move on to a hands-on implementation of OpenID Connect in an Authorization Server using Spring Boot. You’ll see how to create an ID token based on a user’s profile, sign it with the server’s private key, encode it, and include it in the token response. Finally, we’ll test the implementation on the client side using an existing public client and verify the ID token using the jwt.io website. Whether you’re a developer looking to enhance your authentication mechanisms or someone interested in understanding OpenID Connect better, this video has got you covered!
