Introduction

The IBM Verify Identity Access OIDC Provider (IVIAOP) provides a containerized OIDC Provider which is designed to keep up with the latest OAuth and OIDC standards and comply with the latest conformance and specification standards, particularly Open Banking/FAPI.

Defining the Environment

At a high level, when starting the IVIAOP container you need to define:

1. The provider configuration that defines defaults and grant flows.
2. The storage layer configuration, including the choice of using a distributed session cache either in the form of the runtime database (HVDB) or Redis.
3. The client level configuration and authentication methods.
4. Any attribute sources.
