Important update

As of Oct 1st 2020, we started a new company. All new feature work will happen in our new organization. The new Duende IdentityServer is available under both a FOSS (RPL) and a commercial license. Development and testing is always free. Contact us for more information. This repo will be maintained with bug fixes and security updates until November 2022.

About IdentityServer4

IdentityServer is a free, open source OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 framework for ASP.NET Core. Founded and maintained by Dominick Baier and Brock Allen, IdentityServer4 incorporates all the protocol implementations and extensibility points needed to integrate token-based authentication, single-sign-on and API access control in your applications. IdentityServer4 is officially certified by the OpenID Foundation and thus spec-compliant and interoperable. It is part of the .NET Foundation, and operates under their code of conduct. It is licensed under Apache 2 (an OSI approved license).
