Identity: What is Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.Service.* packages?

[hikalkan]

Is it a replacement for IdentityServer4? Is there any documentation for that? How and why we use that?

Thanks.

@danroth27 do we have a pointer to the current state of this?

I can only speak for the IdentityServer side of things, but IdentityServer is not going anywhere. We will continue to provide a flexible, customizable, and spec-compliant OIDC and OAuth2 token server.

So, any usable response..? :)

@hikalkan It was an effort to build an identity service component that can operate as an OpenID Connect provider, but it has never shipped and we are looking at switching to use IdentityServer instead.

Thanks @danroth27 for the clarification. I also think this is a right decision.
