OpenID Connect (OIDC) is replacing SAML in enterprise authentication due to its simpler JSON-based tokens, better mobile support, and developer-friendly RESTful flows. The guide covers core OIDC components including Identity Providers, Relying Parties, ID tokens, access tokens, and the Authorization Code Flow. Key integration steps include client registration, redirect URI configuration, discovery endpoint usage, and token validation. Critical security practices include storing tokens in HttpOnly cookies instead of localStorage, implementing refresh token rotation, using PKCE for all flows, and leveraging JWKS endpoints for automatic key rotation to prevent common vulnerabilities.
