IdentityModel

About IdentityModel

IdentityModel is a .NET library for claims-based identity, OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect.

[!IMPORTANT]
IdentityModel is being rebranded to Duende.IdentityModel and henceforth will be managed in our FOSS repository under the same Apache2 licence.

• Please update your nuget package references to the new package.
• Outstanding pull requests and issues will be ported or closed.

It provides an object model to interact with the endpoints defined in the various OAuth and OpenId Connect specifications in the form of:

• types to represent the requests and responses
• extension methods to invoke requests
• constants defined in the specifications, such as standard scope, claim, and parameter names
• other convenience methods for performing common identity related operations

IdentityModel targets .NET Standard 2.0, making it suitable for .NET and .NET Framework.
