OpenID Connect
==============

OpenID Connect represents a substantial set of behaviors and interactions built on the foundations of OAuth2.  OAuthLib supports
OpenID Connect `Authentication flows`_ when the initial grant type request's ``scope`` parameter contains ``openid``.  Clients wishing
to provide this support must implement several new features within their ``RequestValidator`` subclass.
