Look inside
You’re the sole engineer for PrincipalStack, an online publication focused on teaching software engineering the right way. As part of the company’s efforts to engage new users, your job is to connect the newly built OpenID Connect server with the main web application. Using Node.js, you’ll register the new web application with the authorization server, install and configure an OpenID Connect library, implement login authorization with OAuth 2.0, and integrate the new OpenID Connect authentication with an existing set of users.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
