OpenID Authentication Shared Resources

OpenID Authentication shared resource specifies connection details for OpenID Connect authentication for both inbound and outbound calls.

Inbound
Provides an endpoint for the users of your application to log in to the BPME server using a username and password issued by an Identity Provider (IdP) that supports OpenID Connect. By using this type of authentication, BPME resources and services are protected for the third-party clients.
Outbound
Authorizes access to the third-party client applications by using an Identity Provider (IdP) that supports OpenID Connect. You can use an outbound call from a REST service activity to invoke an external API on a third-party server from your BPME server.
