Feide Connect is a next generation service platform for educational users in Norway that supports mobile and third-party interactions through standardized APIs and protocols. It addresses gaps in middleware infrastructure by building on HTTP, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and other open standards. The platform provides features like single sign-on, authorization management, user and group profiles, third-party API access, application stores, activity streams, and developer tools. It aims to simplify authentication, access control, and integration across different services and administrative domains through open protocols and established trust relationships. While still under development, the platform demonstrates widgets, apps, and tools that can be easily integrated and auto-configured to work within Feide Connect's authorization framework.
