I'm building an app (front : ionic, php/symfony for backend) where I use jwt token to give access to backend, with LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle.

I was following an ionic tutorial to build a simple login form (https://scotch.io/tutorials/build-an-ionic-app-with-user-authentication) where I read about OIDC, and i'm a bit confused.

Should I use it instead of my actual way of authentication ? Or it should be considered only if I have to share access between multiple apps with an SSO ? Which is not my case. .. Or maybe they used OIDC in the tutorial to be simple and go straight to the point.

You must use OIDC only if you need to connect multiple applications to one point. – Uladzislau Vavilau Sep 13 '18 at 19:51

I'm implemented OIDC in my system, I'll tell you that this is an extra job, if you have no more than 1 application. If there are questions, you can contact. I'm use NodeJS + Angular + OIDC-provider (lib). – Uladzislau Vavilau Sep 13 '18 at 20:06
I will thank you :) – ramsey_lewis Sep 13 '18 at 20:23
