Version 5.x has been out of support since December 13, 2022, and this corresponding section of the documentation is no longer maintained. We strongly recommend upgrading to a supported version.
The OidcProvider models an external OpenID Connect provider for use in the dynamic providers feature. Its properties map to the Open ID Connect options class from ASP.NET Core, and those properties include:
Enabled
Specifies if provider is enabled. Defaults to true.
Scheme
Scheme name for the provider.
DisplayName
Display name for the provider.
Type
Protocol type of the provider. Defaults to “oidc” for the OidcProvider.
Authority
The base address of the OIDC provider.
ResponseType
The response type. Defaults to “id_token”.
ClientId
The client id.
ClientSecret
The client secret. By default this is the plaintext client secret and great consideration should be taken if this value is to be stored as plaintext in the store. It is possible to store this in a protected way and then unprotect when loading from the store either by implementing a custom IIdentityProviderStore or registering a custom IConfigureNamedOptions<OpenIdConnectOptions>.
Scope
Space separated list of scope values.
The IdentityProviderName models the display name of an identity provider.
Enabled
Specifies if provider is enabled. Defaults to true.
Scheme
Scheme name for the provider.
DisplayName
Display name for the provider.
The IdentityProvider is a base class to model arbitrary identity providers, which OidcProvider derives from. This leaves open the possibility for extensions to the dynamic provider feature to support other protocol types (as distinguished by the Type property).
