Connecting providers (IdP)

Authress Authentication works as identity aggregation. This means that it provides a central point to combine any number of user identity management or federated login providers in a single place. For example Google and Office 365 login. Providing a solution that works with just one is easy, but to support both and then normalize the data, this becomes more complex.

Authress normalizes these providing standard OIDC complaint JWTs which includes secure session management.
