OpenID Connect Support in Tyk Cloud is Here!

Tyk Cloud has introduced OpenID Connect support, allowing users to utilize JSON Web Tokens from OpenID Connect-compatible Identity Providers to access Tyk-managed APIs. This integration simplifies the process by validating tokens, applying client-specific policies, and generating metadata for analytics, all without requiring direct integration with Tyk for token generation. Users can set policies based on the source of the token, offering differential access levels, such as limited access for free clients and enhanced access for enterprise users. This update makes Tyk Cloud compatible with various Single-Sign-On providers like Google+ and Auth0, and an on-premises release is forthcoming, with nightly versions available for those eager to implement the feature.
