When Checked, the OpenID Connect discovery URI's are supported by the provider. These include /.well-known/openid-configuration and /.well-known/jwks.json which may be different depending on the information returned by the configuration query.
As some implementations do NOT support these URI's you should un-check this setting so that you can manually enter the OpenID Connect Authorization Endpoint and OpenID Connect Token Endpoint settings. Since these settings are provided by the openid-configuration API, they are hidden when this setting is checked.
Checked |
Provider supports the well-known API openid-configuration |
Un-Checked |
Provider does NOT support the well-known API openid-configuration. |
You can test if your provider supports this option with a web browser by taking the OpenID Connect Provider Name and checking the openid-configuration URI.
For example, https://dev-sample.us.auth0.com/.well-known/openid-configuration -- where "https://dev-sample.us.auth0.com" is the provider. If your provider supports this call, a JSON object will be returned. If not, you can get a 404 or other error.
