Update (01/31/2021) — Since I originally wrote this article, a proposal has been created that officially describes using JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) as OAuth2 Access Tokens. As of this date, it has not yet been adopted as an official RFC.
Read article: The Benefits of JWTs as OAuth2 Access TokensThis post concludes our discussion of SAML2 and JWT. Here we look at a comparison of the features and use cases of the two technologies. It’s difficult to make a direct comparison of JWT and SAML2. As we’ve seen through this series, one must take into account the specifications that work in…
Read article: SAML2 vs JWT: A ComparisonThis post explores the equivalent JWT use cases corresponding to the five SAML2 use cases that were explored earlier in this series. We had to build up our tool set to get to this point — including exploring JWT, OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and the supporting specs. To be ready for this moment, we’ve…
Read article: JWT Use CasesThe following blog posts discuss SAML2 use cases that have been explored in this series:
Read article: SAML2 Use CasesThe following blog posts make up my series on OpenID Connect. This is part of the SAML2 vs JWT series.
Read article: Understanding OpenID Connect SeriesIn part 1 and part 2 of Understanding OpenID Connect, core concepts and the first Authentication Flow (Authorization Code Grant Flow) were introduced. In part 3, we look at the remaining Authentication Flows (Implicit Flow and Hybrid Flow) and some other features of the OIDC specification.
Read article: SAML2 vs JWT: Understanding OpenID Connect Part 3This post continues our discussion of OpenID Connect (OIDC). We look at one of the three Authentication Flows defined by the OIDC spec — the Authorization Code Grant Flow.
Read article: SAML2 vs JWT: Understanding OpenID Connect Part 2This post builds upon what we learned about OAuth2 and JWT in previous posts. OpenID Connect will give us the final building block for the JWT-related use cases that this series will explore. The goal of this blog post is to provide a deep understanding of the OpenID Connect spec without having to…
Read article: SAML2 vs JWT: Understanding OpenID Connect Part 1This blog post continues the SAML2 vs JWT series. In the last post, we discussed JSON Web Tokens. Now, we are going to move on to OAuth2 and OpenID Connect, which provides some structure and protocol around the use of JWT. These protocols are used, along with JWT, to build the JWT use cases this…
Read article: SAML2 vs JWT: Understanding OAuth2In our next SAML2 vs JWT post, we are going to use a JWT with a very simple API that is proxied through Apigee Edge Public Cloud. The JWT token will be an OAuth2 access token generated by Azure Active Directory. In the last post in this series, we explored what JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) are and the…
