||
| + | The OpenID connect standard defines two methods for retrieving user characteristics using claims: through the '''userinfo endpoint''', or through the '''claims request parameter'''. |
||
| + | |||
| + | The userinfo method is the most commonly used method and is supported by all certified libraries. The userinfo endpoint acts as an OAuth2 resource server, and the client can use the access_token obtained after a successful login flow to authenticate against the userinfo endpoint and retrieve the user claims as a json document. |

||
| + | |||
| + | Alternatively, by using the [https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#ClaimsParameter claims request parameter] claims are included in the id_token. Entree Federatie also supports this method because some client implementations expect this behaviour. |

In Entree Federatie, the user authenticates at his Identity Provider (called OpenID Provider in OIDC) - this all happens using SAML. Entree Federatie translates the incoming SAML attributes to OIDC Claims and provides them at the userinfo endpoint for your Service Provider (called Relying Party in OIDC) to consume. |

Entree Federatie supports OpenID Connect (OIDC) for Service Providers or Relying Party (RP) in OIDC terminology:
- For OIDC, more standard implementations are available that can easily be integrated into an (existing) application; connecting to Entree Federatie therefore is easier as with SAML.
- OIDC is a RESTful API-like service; it is less complex than SAML.
- In mobile apps OIDC is the defacto standard.
Preparation with OpenID Connect
If you want to use OpenID Connect you will have to make sure your software supports this protocol. Several software products already support OpenID Connect out of the box. If your software is amongst these, you can continue to to the paragraph about Claims and attributes below.

We strongly advise you not to build your own OpenID Connect implementation, but use one of the products off the shelf. The official OpenID website provides an overview of certified implementations. |
Claims and attributes
The OpenID connect standard defines two methods for retrieving user characteristics using claims: through the userinfo endpoint, or through the claims request parameter.
The userinfo method is the most commonly used method and is supported by all certified libraries. The userinfo endpoint acts as an OAuth2 resource server, and the client can use the access_token obtained after a successful login flow to authenticate against the userinfo endpoint and retrieve the user claims as a json document.
For testing purposes you can our Referentie Omgeving (Test IdP's).
Alternatively, by using the claims request parameter claims are included in the id_token. Entree Federatie also supports this method because some client implementations expect this behaviour.
OpenID Connect or SAML?
When you connect to Entree Federatie you can use OpenID Connect or SAML as a protocol to authenticate a user using Entree Federatie. Different standards result in different protocols and in their turn tend to use a jargon specific to that standard. This is also the case with OpenID Connect and SAML.

OpenID Connect Claims and SAML attributes
Most services require extra information about the authenticated user, such as lastname, email address or a known identifier. In OpenID Connect (OIDC), this extra information comes in the form of claims, whereas in SAML, claims are called attributes. In Entree Federatie, the user authenticates at his Identity Provider (called OpenID Provider in OIDC) - this all happens using SAML. Entree Federatie translates the incoming SAML attributes to OIDC Claims and provides them at the userinfo endpoint for your Service Provider (called Relying Party in OIDC) to consume.
