## 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/AspNetCore/tree/master/src/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.
OpenIddict was born in late 2015 and was initially based on **[AspNet.Security.OpenIdConnect.Server](https://github.com/aspnet-contrib/AspNet.Security.OpenIdConnect.Server)**
(codenamed ASOS), a low-level OpenID Connect server middleware forked from OWIN/Katana's `OAuthAuthorizationServerMiddleware`. In 2020, ASOS was merged into OpenIddict 3.0
to form a unified stack under the OpenIddict umbrella, while still offering an easy-to-use approach for new users and a low-level experience for advanced users.
## 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.
