How the protocols are implemented in the real world
It is important to note that both OAuth 2.0 and OIDC are standards supported by a number of services, including Azure Active Directory, OWIN and Katana, NetIQ Access Manager, Google Authentication, and PingFederate, just to mention a few.
Generally speaking, as they are the de facto standard, a developer who wants to implement an OAuth/OIDC flow for their application doesn’t necessarily need to know the specification in depth and apply custom code to their solution. Client libraries, generally grouped into frameworks, that implement these protocols can be found in the most widely adopted programming languages to ease the development of an application that implements these standards.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of technologies that enable developers to take advantage of either commercial or non-commercial libraries to implement authentication/authorization through OIDC/OAuth:
- ActionScript
- C ...
