What is IdentityServer3?

From the documentation for IdentityServer3:

"IdentityServer is a framework and a hostable component that allows implementing single sign-on and access control for modern web applications and APIs using protocols like OpenID Connect and OAuth2. It supports a wide range of clients like mobile, web, SPAs and desktop applications and is extensible to allow integration in new and existing architectures."

Do you have to be familiar with every detail of IdentityServer to program with Smart APIs? No. But, the information provided here is for completeness.

The security token service included with Smart API Manager is based on IdentityServer, so the authorization requests you code up in your client are based on the requirements and standards defined by IdentityServer.
