Nimbus OAuth 2.0 SDK with OpenID Connect extensions

Copyright (c) Connect2id Ltd., 2012 - 2016


README

This open source Java library is your starting point for developing OAuth 2.0
and OpenID Connect based applications:

	* Developing OAuth 2.0 servers:

		- Parse and process requests at the Authorisation Endpoint, then
		  generate the appropriate responses with an authorisation code or
		  access token;

		- Parse and process requests at the Token Endpoint, then generate the
		  appropriate responses;

		- Parse and process requests at the Token Introspection Endpoint;

		- Parse and process requests at the Token Revocation Endpoint;

		- Parse and process requests at the Client Registration Endpoint, then
		  generate the appropriate responses.

	* Developing OAuth 2.0 clients:

		- Make requests to an OAuth 2.0 Authorisation Endpoint and parse the
		  responses;

		- Make requests to an OAuth 2.0 Token Endpoint and parse the responses;

		- Make requests to an OAuth 2.0 Token Introspection Endpoint and
		  process the responses;

		- Make requests to an OAuth 2.0 Token Revocation Endpoint and parse the
		  responses;

		- Make requests to a protected resource using an OAuth 2.0
		  access token.

	* Developing OpenID Connect provider (OP) servers:
	
		- Parse and process requests at the OpenID Connect Authorisation
		  Endpoint, then generate the appropriate responses with an
		  authorisation code, ID Token and / or UserInfo access token;
		  
		- Parse and process requests at the OpenID Connect Token Endpoint, then
		  generate the appropriate responses;
		  
		- Parse and process requests at the OpenID Connect UserInfo Endpoint,
		  then generate the appropriate responses;
		  
		- Parse and process requests at the OpenID Connect Client Registration
		  Endpoint, then generate the appropriate responses;

		- Parse and process requests at the OpenID Connect End-Session (Logout)
		  Endpoint.
	
	* Developing OpenID Connect relying party (RP) clients:
	
		- Make requests to an OpenID Connect Authorisation Endpoint and process
		  the responses;
		  
		- Make requests to an OpenID Connect Token Endpoint and process the
		  responses;
		  
		- Make requests to an OpenID Connect UserInfo Endpoint and process the
		  responses;
		  
		- Make requests to an OpenID Connect Client Registration Endpoint and
		  process the responses.

		- Make requests to an OpenID Connect End-Session (Logout) Endpoint.


Additional features:

	* Process plain, signed and encrypted JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) with help 
	  of the Nimbus JOSE+JWT library.

	* Full OpenID Connect UserInfo i10n and l10n support with help of the
	  Nimbus Language Tags (RFC 5646) library.
