OpenID Connect - Basics

This video provides a very first step into OpenID Connect. It covers basics only and explains the main difference to OAuth 2.0. This should be helpful to anyone who is new to this topic.
OpenID Connect is generally needed as soon as an application should not only have access to a protected resources but should also know about the current user (resource_owner).

You passed 'openid email profile' in the request when obtaining the Id token. Does this mean when you decode the Id token, you will see the users email as a claim?

at 9:45, yes the token is digitally signed, but only the Authorization server can verify if the signature is correct, the client can't make that verification.

Hi, thanks for the explanation.
One thing that I didn't understand yet is how an API server can know that the access-token sent by a client's request header is valid. It should authenticate itself into the same identity provider?
