What authentication protocol to use for an in-house application












0















I'm building an Identity and Access Management (IAM). The current IAM uses the OAuth 2.0. The IAM has two type of in-house clients, the web application (Single Page Application) and the desktop application.



Both applications have a login page. Based on OAuth 2.0, all of those clients should be redirected to the authorization server's (the IAM) login page before the user could do the login. I wanted the login to be as seamless as possible. So in that case, I want the user to directly enter in their username and password without any redirection.



After some research, I found out OAuth 2.0 is used for third-party clients who want to integrate with our IAM. For now, the clients are made by the same person. So I don't think OAuth 2.0 is the not the appropriate protocol for achieving my objective.



I read about Open ID Connect (OIDC) in a glance and it seems the one that I need, but I'm not sure. What do you guys think? Or do you guys have another authentication protocol for my case? Any suggestions are welcome.
