OpenID for API Management at the API Portal
Next week I am at the Cloud Identity Summit (CIS)
in Colorado. Vordel is a sponsor at CIS, and I'm looking forward to
what promises to be an excellent event. Two of the hot topics there are
API Management and OpenID. I'm speaking on a panel about API Management
on the Thursday of the event. There are also OpenID events on the first
two days of the event.
So, I've put the two things together - OpenID and API Management - in this API Portal demo below. I've used a cookie-cutter "Acme Inc" API Portal to show how (a) a developer registers their API on the API Portal, and (b) how OpenID is used at runtime. I'm using OpenID against Google in order to show it in action, but the Google login part would not (of course) be required if the client is already logged into Google (e.g. an Android phone app).
