Identity management? Stick a username and (hashed) password in a database, and done! That's how many apps get started, at least. But what happens once you need single sign-on across multiple domains, or if you'd rather avoid the headache of managing those passwords to begin with? This session will cover protocols (and pitfalls) for delegating the responsibility of identity management to an outside source. We'll take a look at SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect, considering both the class of problems they solve, and some new ones they introduce!
