Accessing Salesforce through the OpenID Connect protocol

One of the most widely used protocols for implementing federated access is the OpenID Connect protocol. As with SAML, OpenID Connect allows access to an application (Relying Party - RP) by delegating authentication to an external provider (OpenID Provider - OP).

Monokee implements all the dictates of an OpenID Provider, in this regard it has also acquired full certification as OpenID Provider, as can be seen from the official website of the OpenID Fundation at this link.
