In Logto, standard protocols such as OAuth 2.0, SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language), and OIDC (OpenID Connect) define the rules and procedures for securely exchanging authentication and authorization data between different parties involved in the CIAM system. These protocols provide a standardized way for applications and services to communicate and validate user identities.

Standard connectors, refer to pre-built or customizable components that facilitate the integration of CIAM systems with various identity providers, databases, or other systems. These connectors are designed to support specific standard protocols (OAuth 2.0, SAML, OIDC) and simplify the implementation process by handling the protocol-specific details. Logto offers a hassle-free experience by providing zero-code configuration and seamless creation of personalized standard connectors.
