=== OpenID Connect v1.0 Identity Providers

{{book.project.name}} can broker identity providers based on the OpenID Connect protocol.  These IDPs must support the <<fake/../../sso-protocols/oidc.adoc#_oidc, Authorization Code Flow>>
as defined by the specification in order to authenticate the user and authorize access.

To begin configuring an OIDC provider, go to the `Identity Providers` left menu item
and selected `OpenID Connect v1.0` from the `Add provider` drop down list.  This will bring you to the `Add identity provider` page.

The initial configuration options on this page are described in <<fake/../../identity-broker/configuration.adoc#_general-idp-config, General IDP Configuration>>.
You must define the OpenID Connection configuration options as well.  They basically describe the OIDC IDP you are communicating with.

.OpenID Connect Config
|===
|Configuration|Description

|Authorization URL
|Authorization URL endpoint required by the OIDC protocol

|Token URL
|Token URL endpoint required by the OIDC protocol

|Logout URL
|Logout URL endpoint defined in the OIDC protocol.  This value is optional.

|Backchannel Logout
|Backchannel logout is a background, out-of-band, REST invocation to the IDP to logout the user.  Some IDPs can only perform logout through browser redirects as they may
 only be able to identity sessions via a browser cookie.

|User Info URL
|User Info URL endpoint defined by the OIDC protocol.  This is an endpoint from which user profile information can be downloaded.

|Client ID
|This realm will act as an OIDC client to the external federation IDP you are configuring here.  Your realm will need a OIDC client ID when using the Authorization Code Flow
 to interact with the external IDP

|Client Secret
|This realm will need a client secret to use when using the Authorization Code Flow.

|Issuer
|Responses from the IDP may contain an issuer claim.  This config value is optional.  If specified, this claim will be validated against the value you provide.

|Default Scopes
|Space-separated list of OIDC scopes to send with the authentication request.  The default is `openid`

|Prompt
|Another optional switch.  This is the prompt parameter defined by the OIDC specification. Through it you can force re-authentication and other options.  See the specification for
 more details

You can also import all this configuration data by providing a URL or file that points to OpenID Provider Metadata (see OIDC Discovery specification).
If you are connecting to a {{book.project.name}} external IDP, you can import the IDP setttings from the url `<root>/auth/realms/\{realm-name}/.well-known/openid-configuration`.
This link is a JSON document describing metadata about the IDP.
