The only way to guarantee you get feedback from the author & sole maintainer of this module is to support the package through GitHub Sponsors.

You may check the example folder or follow a step by step example to see which of those fits your desired application setup.

Also be sure to check the available configuration docs section.

oidc-provider can be mounted to existing connect, express, fastify, hapi, or koa applications, see how. The provider allows to be extended and configured in various ways to fit a variety of uses. See the documentation.

const { Provider } = require('oidc-provider');
const configuration = {
  // ... see /docs for available configuration
  clients: [{
    client_id: 'foo',
    client_secret: 'bar',
    redirect_uris: ['http://lvh.me:8080/cb'],
    // ... other client properties
  }],
};

const oidc = new Provider('http://localhost:3000', configuration);

oidc.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('oidc-provider listening on port 3000, check http://localhost:3000/.well-known/openid-configuration');
});

Collection of useful configurations use cases are available over at recipes.

oidc-provider instances are event emitters, using event handlers you can hook into the various actions and i.e. emit metrics that react to specific triggers. See the list of available emitted event names and their description.
