JSON Web Token (JWT) is a simple way to send verified information between two
|
|
parties online. This can be useful as a mechanism for providing Single Sign-On
|
|
(SSO) to an application by allowing an authentication server to send a validated
|
|
claim and log the user in. This is how Zendesk does SSO, for example.
|
|
|
|
OmniAuth::JWT provides a clean, simple wrapper on top of JWT so that you can
|
|
easily implement this kind of SSO either between your own applications or allow
|
|
third parties to delegate authentication.
