!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a mediator, a service daemon that listens on [localhost], providing easy [APIs] that can be called by a [web] [application] to simplify using an [OpenID Connect Provider], like [Google] or the [Gluu Server], for [authentication] or [authorization].
[{$pagename}] is __not__ a [proxy]--sometimes it makes [API] calls on behalf of an [application], but other times it just forms the right [URLs] and returns them to the [application].
Using [{$pagename}] to support [federation] in an application provides both technical and business advantages:
* [{$pagename}] consolidates the [OAuth 2.0] code in one package. If new [vulnerabilities|vulnerability] are discovered in [OAuth 2.0]/[OpenID Connect], [{$pagename}] is the only component that needs to be updated. The [{$pagename}] [APIs] remain the same, so you don’t have to change and regression test your [applications];
* [{$pagename}] is written, maintained, and supported by developers who specialize in application security. Because of the complexity of the standards–and the liability associated with poor implementations–it makes sense to rely on professionals who have read the specifications in their entirety and understand how to properly implement the [protocols];
* Centralization reduces costs. By using [{$pagename}] across your IT infrastructure for application security (as opposed to a handful of homegrown and third party [OAuth 2.0] implementations), the surface area for vulnerabilities, issue resolution, and support is significantly reduced. Plus you have someone to call when something goes wrong!
