## Ressource owner
|
|
The user that will allow the app to read ressources that he/she will grant access for
|
|
ex: the person that has a mail account
|
|
|
|
## Client
|
|
The application that is requesting the ressources to use them on the behalf of the user
|
|
ex : a mass mailing list service to all your contacts
|
|
|
|
## Authorization server
|
|
|
|
The application that knows the resource owner because it has an account there
|
|
ex: the mail server authentication service
|
|
|
|
## Resource server
|
|
|
|
The API that the client will use on behalf of the user
|
|
ex : the contact list API
|
|
|
|
## Redirect uri
|
|
Url that will be used by the authorization server to send back the ressource owner to the client app after consenting to ressources access
|
|
ex : mass mailing list "contact retrieve success/failure" page
|
|
|
|
## Response type
|
|
Response type expeted by the client, usually "code" for an authorization code
|
|
|
|
## Scope
|
|
Granular permission that the client wants
|
|
ex: read contacts, read profile
|
|
|
|
## Consent
|
|
The auhorization server takes the scopes that the clients requests and let the ressource owner choose to acccept them or not
|
|
ex: access to your contacts ?
|
|
|
|
## Client Id
|
|
To identify the client with the authorization server
|
|
|
|
## Client secret
|
|
Shared between authorization server and client
|
|
|
|
## Authorization code
|
|
Temporary code sent by authorization server to client
|
|
The client then privately sends the authorization code along with the client secret to tha authorization server, in exchange for an access token
|
|
|
|
## Access token
|
|
Key the client will use to communicate withe the ressource server
|
|
|
|
## Refresh token
|
|
Token to get a new access token
|
|
|
|
# OIDC
|
|
|
|
## Oauth vs Oidc
|
|
Oauth provides only a token for application access without any info on the user. OpenId adds information on the user.
|
|
* Oauth enables an app to access ressources
|
|
* Oidc enables an app to establish a login session and to access info about the user
|
|
|
|
## End user
|
|
Oauth Resource Owner
|
|
|

## Relaying party
