Course Overview
Modernize access to your custom apps and sites and remove the authentication challenge by giving your customers Single Sign-On (SSO) access with OpenID Connect (OIDC).
Learn how JSON Web Tokens and OIDC work, and select the best OIDC flow based on whether you are building a trusted app or not, and if your app is native or web based.

Best practices are covered, as well as testing and troubleshooting techniques.
