Springboot OIDC authentication

[johndoexx]

Hi @robotdan
Is it possible to use oAuth 2.0 and OIDC as authentication in SpringBoot for REST APIs and make API for login so that on web we use custom login form instead of redirecting to some login form, from for example Okta? Or it is better in that case to use JWT?

I'm not sure I understand your question. I'd use OIDC for the login form, but the whole point of OAuth (at least the authorization code grant) is that the login process happens at a third party (FusionAuth in this instance).

If you want to have the user login and control the whole process (including your own pages), use the login API, or, if you must use an OAuth grant, the password grant.

Please feel free to give more information about your question, as again, I'm not sure I understood it.
