This project contains a certified OpenID Connect reference implementation in Java on the Spring platform, including a functioning [server library](openid-connect-server), [deployable server package](openid-connect-server-webapp), [client (RP) library](openid-connect-client), and general [utility libraries](openid-connect-common). The server can be used as an OpenID Connect Identity Provider as well as a general-purpose OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server.

## Note for releasing

Releases are made off of branch 1.3.x - the version released used to depend on the Jenkins build number but this is ineffective as the Jenkins history can vanish leaving you back at build number 1.  Therefore, in the Jenkinsfile, the version to be released needs altering on line 26 and incrementing by 1.
