SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect: the differences

SAML or OpenID Connect: which one to choose?

Both provide single sign-on, but not with the same tools. Here are the differences that matter when choosing.

OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect: what is the difference?

OAuth 2.0 is for authorising, OpenID Connect for authenticating. OIDC is a layer added on top of OAuth 2.0.
