    Zitadel OIDC library code is very well-writen and informative.

  • Zitadel: The best of Auth0 and Keycloak combined
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 17 May 2022
    I had to set up a OIDC server so our website could act as OIDC provider, and was really surprised how hard that is to do if you simply need the most basic setup. In fact it would seem that everybody would just keep a Keycloak or whatever— in their cluster and would keep it up-to-date with whatever user schema they would have in their app. This felt like too much work for me (I didn't want to maintain a whole extra service to just be able and provide a couple Oauth scopes from our API back-end.) so instead I went on and implemented the server directly in our app using https://github.com/zitadel/oidc. In fact this was the only fully-functioning OIDC implementation in Go that I could just plug in and make it work. So big props up to the Zitadel guys, the only worry would be from my side that the server implementation could be more generic and could rely on a set of interfaces that the users would be able to implement easily, without having to import a bunch of code from 'examples/server' like we have to do at the moment?

    I just wanted to spread the word, that we moved the library to a new home in the ZITADEL GitHub organisation to ease some of the confusion around the name of the company (CAOS) and the project (ZITADEL).
