Challenges in Modernizing OAuth/OIDC Infrastructure

As OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect have been continuing to evolve since their introduction, your OAuth/OIDC server may have outdated profiles or may not have kept up with the latest best practices. For instance, your OAuth/OIDC implementation may comply with draft specifications but not with the finalized versions.

1. Issues with overhauling your legacy OAuth/OIDC infrastructure

One way to modernize your OAuth/OIDC infrastructure is to deploy an OAuth/OIDC solution that implements the latest specifications and sunset the legacy profile. However, if your OAuth/OIDC infrastructure supports many clients, it’s not easy to change their connectivity specifications.

2. Why you shouldn't run a parallel OAuth/OIDC infrastructure

Another approach is to prepare a new OAuth/OIDC infrastructure in parallel with the existing environment and host newly added clients in this separate environment. Although this approach makes phased migration possible, your operational workload will double.

With Authlete, you can implement the latest OAuth/OIDC specifications while preserving the existing OAuth/OIDC profiles. Authlete’s Web APIs handle your OAuth/OIDC protocol processing and token management. This enables a smooth transition between the existing OAuth/OIDC profiles and the latest specifications. As Authlete runs on the backend, you have complete control of the frontend of the OAuth/OIDC API.
