Open Identity Provider (OIDP)

A modular, extensible Open Identity Provider implementation designed for modern web and mobile applications. OIDP aims to make deploying secure, standards-compliant authentication and authorization infrastructure simple, pluggable, and transparent.

Vision

• Provide a lightweight, production-ready identity provider that implements OpenID Connect (OIDC) and OAuth 2.0 core flows.
• Be highly extensible: easily swap storage, cryptography, and user management components.
• Prioritize security, observability, and developer experience.
• Offer first-class integration points for enterprise features (SSO, MFA, SCIM, and federation).

Key Features

• Standards-compliant: OpenID Connect (Core) and OAuth 2.0 support.
• Modular architecture: Pluggable adapters for storage, token signing, and identity sources.
• Extensible authentication: Password, OAuth federation, social logins, and custom authenticators.
• Secure by default: Strong defaults for token lifetimes, rotation, and key management.
• Developer-friendly API: Simple SDK + REST admin API for client and user management.
• Observability: Metrics and structured logs hooks for integrations with tracing and monitoring.
• Enterprise features roadmap: MFA, SCIM provisioning, identity federation, and RBAC.

Quick Start

Install (npm):

npm install --save oidp

Basic usage (conceptual):

const OIDP = require('oidp');

const server = new OIDP({
  adapter: require('./adapters/sqlite-adapter'),
  issuer: 'https://auth.example.com',
  keys: require('./keys')
});

server.listen(3000);
console.log('OIDP running at http://localhost:3000');

This repo focuses on the package scaffold, docs, and architecture. Implementation examples and adapters live in the src/ directory (or will be added in follow-up releases).

Standards & Interop

• OpenID Connect Core
• OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework
• JSON Web Tokens (JWT)
• PKCE for native/mobile clients

Security Considerations

• Use a secure key management system (KMS) in production for signing keys.
• Use HTTPS and ensure correct redirect URI validation for clients.
• Rotate signing keys and adopt short-lived tokens with refresh strategies.
