Implementing the correct security patterns is a common challenge that most application developers and consultants can get wrong in even the most common of scenarios. Reinventing the wheel is a common pattern that DevOps engineers do when integrating security solutions inside their applications (authentication, password validation, identity management, correct storage of user data, etc.).
OpenID Connect is an open security standard that can be used to solve most of these concerns in a reliable and scalable way for modern cloud applications, in a way that most developers are unaware of!

This talk will focus on the benefits of securing an enterprise application using OpenID Connect concepts with multiple Java Framworks, with a live demonstration of a small application that uses standard frameworks (Jakarta EE and Eclipse MicroProfile) in tandem with an external OpenID Connect provider.
