Spring Authorization Server is a framework that provides implementations of the https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-1-07[OAuth 2.1] and https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html[OpenID Connect 1.0] specifications and other related specifications.

It is built on top of https://spring.io/projects/spring-security[Spring Security] to provide a secure, light-weight, and customizable foundation for building OpenID Connect 1.0 Identity Providers and OAuth2 Authorization Server products.

* Provides full control of configuration and customization when advanced customization scenarios are required.
