OpenID Connect SDK (client and server) for Go
What Is It
This project is a easy to use client (RP) and server (OP) implementation for the OIDC (Open ID Connect) standard written for Go.
The RP is certified for the basic and config profile.
Whenever possible we tried to reuse / extend existing packages like OAuth2 for Go.
How To Use It
Check the /example folder where example code for different scenarios is located.
# start oidc op server
# oidc discovery http://localhost:9998/.well-known/openid-configuration
CAOS_OIDC_DEV=1 go run github.com/caos/oidc/example/server/default
# start oidc web client
CLIENT_ID=web CLIENT_SECRET=web ISSUER=http://localhost:9998/ SCOPES=openid PORT=5556 go run github.com/caos/oidc/example/client/app
- browser http://localhost:5556/login will redirect to op server
- input id to login
- redirect to client app display user info

Why another library
As of 2020 there are not a lot of OIDC library's in Go which can handle server and client implementations. CAOS is strongly committed to the general field of IAM (Identity and Access Management) and as such, we need solid frameworks to implement services.
Goals
Other Go OpenID Connect libraries
https://github.com/coreos/go-oidc
The go-oidc does only support RP and is not feasible to use as OP that's why we could not rely on go-oidc
We did not choose fosite because it implements OAuth 2.0 on its own and does not rely on the golang provided package. Nonetheless this is a great project.
