Easy and Robust Single Sign-On with OpenID Connect and NGINX Ingress Controller With the release of NGINX Ingress Controller 1.10.0, we are happy to announce a major enhancement: a technology preview of OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication. OIDC is the identity layer built on top of the OAuth 2.0 framework which provides an authentication and single sign‑on (SSO) solution for modern apps.
