INTRODUCTION
------------

The OpenID Connect module provides a pluggable client implementation for the
OpenID Connect protocol. The server implementation of the protocol is provided
by OAuth2 Server.

OpenID Connect 1.0 is a simple identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol.
It allows Clients to verify the identity of the End-User based on the
authentication performed by an Authorization Server, as well as to obtain basic
profile information about the End-User in an interoperable and REST-like manner.


USAGE
-----

The module allows you to use an external OpenID Connect login provider to
authenticate and log in users on your site. If a user signs in with a login
provider for the first time on the website, a new Drupal user will be created.
Google for instance uses OpenID Connect to authenticate users across all of
their services.


REQUIREMENTS
------------

No special requirements.


FEATURES
--------

 * Supported login providers
 * Login with Google
 * Client configuration
 * Fetching user profile information
 * Sign in block

For a more detailed description and instructions please refer to the
documentation (https://www.drupal.org/node/2274339).

PERMISSIONS:

The module adds a new permission section entitled OpenID Connect API with
three new user rights:

 * Administer OpenID Connect clients
 * Manage own connected accounts
 * Set a password for local authentication.


INSTALLATION
------------

Install as you would normally install a contributed Drupal module.
Visit: https://www.drupal.org/project/openid_connect for further information.


CONFIGURATION
-------------

Configuration options are available at
Administration >> Configuration >> Services >> OpenID Connect.
You can enable clients for login providers and configure their client ID and
client secret which are necessary credentials for authenticating with an OAuth2
server.


TROUBLESHOOTING
---------------

A standard Drupal block is available to sign in with the login providers for
which clients are enabled.
A single button is shown for each login provider.
In case if the login block does not display on the user's login page, check it
in the blocks list Administration >> Structure >> Block layout
