# Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## What's OpenIddict?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OpenIddict aims at providing a **simple and easy-to-use solution** to implement an **OpenID Connect server in any ASP.NET Core 1.x or 2.x application**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OpenIddict is based on
|
||
|
|
**[AspNet.Security.OpenIdConnect.Server (codenamed ASOS)](https://github.com/aspnet-contrib/AspNet.Security.OpenIdConnect.Server)** to control the OpenID Connect authentication flow and can be used with any membership stack, **including [ASP.NET Core Identity](https://github.com/aspnet/Identity)**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OpenIddict fully supports the **[code/implicit/hybrid flows](http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html)** and the **[client credentials/resource owner password grants](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749)**. You can also create your own custom grant types.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: OpenIddict natively supports **[Entity Framework Core](https://github.com/aspnet/EntityFramework)** and **[Entity Framework 6](https://github.com/aspnet/EntityFramework6)** out-of-the-box, but you can also provide your own stores.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Note: **the OpenIddict 2.x packages are only compatible with ASP.NET Core 2.x**.
|
||
|
|
> If your application targets ASP.NET Core 1.x, use the OpenIddict 1.x packages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Why an OpenID Connect server?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Adding an OpenID Connect server to your application **allows you to support token authentication**.
|
||
|
|
It also allows you to manage all your users using local password or an external identity provider
|
||
|
|
(e.g. Facebook or Google) for all your applications in one central place,
|
||
|
|
with the power to control who can access your API and the information that is exposed to each client.
