Client setup without an adapter

--- Learn how to set up your OpenID connection if you are not using an adapter/library.

Using a client without an adapter​

If you are not using an adapter/library, you will require some additional information to set up your OpenID connection. Required information can be found behind the publicly accessible provider configuration endpoint for your environment.

Based on our integration with us, you will either have your integration connected to our Gold Standard offering. Reach out to us if you have questions.

Endpoints by environment​

Dev: https://dev.loginproxy.gov.bc.ca/auth/realms/standard/.well-known/openid-configuration

Test: https://test.loginproxy.gov.bc.ca/auth/realms/standard/.well-known/openid-configuration

Prod: https://loginproxy.gov.bc.ca/auth/realms/standard/.well-known/openid-configuration

The above URLs gives you OpenID Provider Metadata required for the OpenID connect configuration.

Here's a sample:

{
  "issuer": "https://<env>.loginproxy.gov.bc.ca/auth/realms/<realm_name>", // Issuer URL
  "authorization_endpoint": "https://<env>.loginproxy.gov.bc.ca/auth/realms/<realm_name>/protocol/openid-connect/auth", // Authorization URL
  "token_endpoint": "https://<env>.loginproxy.gov.bc.ca/auth/realms/<realm_name>/protocol/openid-connect/token", // Token URL
  "userinfo_endpoint": "https://<env>.loginproxy.gov.bc.ca/auth/realms/<realm_name>/protocol/openid-connect/userinfo", // User Info UR
  "end_session_endpoint": "https://<env>.loginproxy.gov.bc.ca/auth/realms/<realm_name>/protocol/openid-connect/logout", // Logout URL
  "jwks_uri": "https://<env>.loginproxy.gov.bc.ca/auth/realms/<realm_name>/protocol/openid-connect/certs", // JSON Web Key Set URL
  ...
}

Important note:​

According to OpenID Connect Discovery documentation, "OpenID Providers have metadata describing their configuration. These OpenID Provider Metadata values are used by OpenID Connect"

You can find the client_id and client_secret from the Installation JSON downloaded through the request process. More on understanding the json file
