There are multiple formats you can import from, just choose the archive format you have the certificate stored in,
select the file, and click the `Import` button.
Finally note that you don't even need to import certificate if you choose to `Use JWKS URL` . In that case, you can provide the URL where
client publishes it's public key in https://self-issued.info/docs/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-key.html[JWK] format. This is flexible because when
client changes it's keys, {{book.project.name}} will automatically download them without need to re-import anything on {{book.project.name}} side.
If you use client secured by {{book.project.name}} adapter, you can configure the JWKS URL like https://myhost.com/myapp/k_jwks assuming that https://myhost.com/myapp is the
root URL of your client application. See {{book.developerguide.link}}[{{book.developerguide.name}}] for additional details.

|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
|Validate Signatures
|Another optional switch. This is to specify if {{book.project.name}} will verify the signatures on the external ID Token signed by this Identity provider. If this is on,
the {{book.project.name}} will need to know the public key of the external OIDC identity provider. See below for how to setup it.
|Use JWKS URL
|Applicable just `Validate Signatures` is on. If the switch is on, then identity provider public keys will be downloaded from given JWKS URL.
This allows great flexibility because new keys will be always re-downloaded again when identity provider generates new keypair. If the switch is off,
then public key (or certificate) from the {{book.project.name}} DB is used, so when identity provider keypair changes, you always need to import new key to the {{book.project.name}} DB as well.
|JWKS URL
|URL where identity provider keys in JWK format are stored. See https://self-issued.info/docs/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-key.html[JWK specification] for more details.
If you use external {{book.project.name}} identity provider, then you can use URL like http://broker-keycloak:8180/auth/realms/test/protocol/openid-connect/certs assuming your brokered
{{book.project.name}} is running on http://broker-keycloak:8180 and it's realm is `test` .
|Validating Public Key
|Applicable if `Use JWKS URL` is off. Here is the public key in PEM format that must be used to verify external IDP signatures.
|===
You can also import all this configuration data by providing a URL or file that points to OpenID Provider Metadata (see OIDC Discovery specification).
