Response by Job Role
Response Summary
- 65% of respondents must have or are very interested in using OIDC/OAuth in API development.

- 87.7% believe OIDC/OAuth should be built into future Shibboleth or TIER offerings.
- 67% believe OIDC/OAuth offering should support current HE federation model.
- We asked respondents to identify OIDC/OAuth server products they use. There was not a clear winner. The largest answer was Google (13%).
- There were dozens of open ended OIDC/OAuth use case responses. We are still sorting through them.

Observation So Far
- There is likely enough demand to charge next working group to address use cases and possibly implementation recommendation - possible CACTI item
- Potentially hold webinar to elicit/clarify additional use case details from call participants, particularly developers
- InCommon may wish to
- There are many efforts; we need coordination (CACTI?)
