Hydra: Can you build an identity provider with hydra or not?

[e-monson]

These seem to contradict each other.

The wording is indeed a bit confusing. Hydra does not manage identities (user login, logout, password reset), but with OpenID Connect you can become an identity provider for third parties (think Google SSO) - you still need your own identity management though.

@arekkas Can I use Hydra to authenticate my own app's users via OIDC ? In such case, would I still have to show a consent screen to the user ? Doesn't make much sense if I have a sign up page for my own service and in the sign up / sign in flow I show the users a consent screen

You can skip the consent screen for first party clients.
