“Starting with Secure Access: OpenID Connect 101” by Sara Daqiq, Developer Support Engineer at Okta

What if you could spend less time building authentication, and more time on other parts of your app – things that help drive your business? With OpenID Connect (OIDC), you grant authority to a trusted provider to prove that the user is who they say they are. In this talk, we'll explore how applications communicate to grant access to resources on behalf of a user via OIDC, and show how you can quickly get started building secure apps using the OIDC endpoints that Okta exposes on its authorization servers.
